    I hate that the basic polygons and their 3d counterparts are all people think of theyre so boring. Fuck Circles/spheres, Fuck squares/cubes, and no, hexagons are not the bestagons. You want to know what natures perfect shape is? Its a tie between the Mandelbrot Set and maybe Pascals Triangle if you consider that a kind of data structure shape. Your shape efficently packs interior space in a minimum surface area? Thats cool, mine encodes the entirety of combinatorics with fractal geometry and acts as an actual map showing the boundaries between order and chaos. Your shape aperiodically tiles the plane? Thats neat, mine geometrically encodes the logistic map which governs things like animal population changes over time.

    Imagine a race of star treck aliens flying around in one of these things and tell me it wouldn’t be more visually interesting than a big technophile bondage cube.
