I would say that

You're not insane at all.

In two minutes, you can draw a

Cylinder of any height. This cylinder has two curved edges (at the top and at the bottom. However, for any continuous cylinder of height $H$ there are an infinite number of subcylinders of height $h < H$. Your minions are therefore cylinders, and they are everywhere!!

  • $\begingroup$ nice, almost right, but have the subcylinders really just 2 edges? or do they have 1 universal edge, or even infinite? id even k $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Jannis: I would say that any subcylinder must have 2 edges (that's what makes it a cylinder), but there are an infinite number of them and some of the edges are shared.... $\endgroup$

Does this have to do with

Mirrors?

The two edges would be

The surface of the glass and
The silver-painted back of the glass

An seemingly infinite number of them is created quickly by

positioning them opposite one another, creating the infinity mirror phenomenon. Your image is refelected and are your "minions."

You are indeed mad.

Speculative, but possibly:

your minions are nothing!

I'm an evil genius and I'll conquer the world with my minions :]

Obviously, any evil genius worth anything can conquer the world by themself.

My minions have just 2 egdes but in just 2 minutes I've prdouced an infinite amount of them.

No shape has two edges, and you can't produce an infinite amount of anything in 2 minutes

You'll see how i will conquer the world-

there's nothing after the hyphen

How insane are you?

Not insane at all!

Alternatively, if you

look at all the grammar mistakes

you get

gdi, which means... god damn it? (wait no, the i got fixed)

  • $\begingroup$ The hyphen was just to connect the 'muhaha' with the 'conquer the world'. I hate too long rows, it looks optically not good. BUT somehow your is right $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ You're right with my minions are nothing and no shape has 2 edges, but your wrong with that $\endgroup$

I'm drawing a circle:

I'm an evil genius and I'll conquer the world with my minions :]
My minions have just 2 egdes but

A Polygon consists of many triangles: when the count of the edges of the polygon goes to infinity
it becomes a circle while the infinite triangles are becoming twoangles

in just 2 minutes I've produced an infinite amount of them.

Make a circle and color it

You'll see how I will conquer the world- MUHAHAHAHAHA

How insane am I?

really insane thinking of taking over the world with a circle
