Bestagon cookies!

[-] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago

They're the hexagreatest!

[-] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 13 points 10 months ago

Insert CGP Gray video on how hexagons are the bestagons

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 6 points 10 months ago

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 5 points 10 months ago

Alright, as long as someone commented it!

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 49 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] renrenPDX@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

What part would you share? The crispy outer edge, or soft chewy center?

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

The overcooked back half.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 10 months ago

Dude, if you get the nachos stuck together, that's one nacho.

Someone hexed those cookies

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 9 points 10 months ago

The toppings are also cursed.

Columnar basalt cookies

[-] QuietCupcake@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago

hex-moon

This may be my favorite voronoi tesselation.

[-] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 17 points 10 months ago

Replace em with bears and you'll get many hexbears hexbear-shining hexbear-chapochat

[-] felsiq@piefed.zip 11 points 10 months ago

I need soft circular bears in my life

[-] QuietCupcake@hexbear.net 10 points 10 months ago

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!

[-] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 15 points 10 months ago

This only happened because they laid them in rows of 5-4-5-4.

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 25 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 months ago

I think that depends on the fiction between each item / cell, and the plane.

I think soap bubbles for example will always form hexagons.

[-] Eq0@literature.cafe 10 points 10 months ago

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

[-] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 months ago

Thats what i said?

I wonder what the optimal packing of 17 hexagons looks like

[-] GreenCrunch@lemmy.today 10 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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.

[-] Gustephan@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Does it haunt your dreams the same way it haunts mine?

[-] GreenCrunch@lemmy.today 4 points 10 months ago

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[-] Hoimo@ani.social 4 points 10 months ago

Should the target area be square or should it also be a hexagon?

me after discovering the voronoi node:

[-] BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.works 12 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

LOL you can see how the back is darker and has this curve. Oven not heating as it should

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 5 points 10 months ago

I don't think I've ever seen any household grade ovens really provide even heat, maybe if you use them with the rotating fan thing, but certainly not in standard mode. You need to spend the big bucks on professional kitchen grade stuff for that.
