Bestagon cookies!
Hecks a good cookies.
They’re the hexagreatest!
Alright, as long as someone commented it!
Insert CGP Gray video on how hexagons are the bestagons
Sing the song!
🎶 Hexagons are the bestagons
Voronoi cookies!
Annnnd now I’m baking cookies
Columnar basalt cookies
This only happened because they laid them in rows of 5-4-5-4.
Yeah, it happens when you pack the circles as densely as possible. If you place them in a grid, they will expand to a grid.
I think that depends on the fiction between each item / cell, and the plane.
I think soap bubbles for example will always form hexagons.
Bubbles can move freely once created, so they have more freedom than cookies that are stick in place. Thus, bubbles will look for optimal volume to boundary ratio with less constraints
Thats what i said?

Yes :) since the topic was coming back in another thread, I felt more explanation was nice
I wonder what the optimal packing of 17 hexagons looks like
Should the target area be square or should it also be a hexagon?
I’ve legit been thinking about this since i posted the comment lol. I think the target area should probably be a minimal regular hexagon, but I honestly dont have the mathematical chops to figure it out myself or to know which would be more interesting.
Intuition tells me to either try to reduce the problem to like convex hull or figure out a reasonable way to generate random packings and just monte carlo it a few million times for a close to optimal solution. A reasonable way to generate random packings feels like it would be way harder to implement than it sounds
I just woke up with my phone on this. My assumption is that remembering that optimal packing thing just caused me to pass out, presumably to protect myself.
Does it haunt your dreams the same way it haunts mine?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

me after discovering the voronoi node:
Close hexagonal packing. Rigid cylinders will approximate this as well.
Someone hexed those cookies
The toppings are also cursed.
What have you got against M&M cookies??
Du bist eine hexe
This may be my favorite voronoi tesselation.
Replace em with bears and you’ll get many hexbears
I need soft circular bears in my life
It’s what all of us really are at hexbear: circle bears. We only developed the hexagonal shape from pushing against each other over time - the result of countless struggle sessions. But at heart, even now we’re still just sweet, circular bears once you look beneath the hard hexagonal edges wrought by all the outdoor cats and stacked rocks.
Voronoi cookies!
ONE. That’s how many cookies fit on that tray.
If you’re feeling generous you could break off some sections of your one cookie for your friends.
What part would you share? The crispy outer edge, or soft chewy center?
The overcooked back half.
It’s so dear of you to assume I have friends. That cookie is all mine, sweetie.
Dude, if you get the nachos stuck together, that’s one nacho.
