fun fact, since it's impossible to properly tile a sphere with hexagons, on every Rimworld map there are a few pentagonal tiles generated

Ya. Coincidentally even then it isn't perfect.

Ben's _"That's not gonna tessellate, you fucking maniac!"_ at 0:29 might be one of my favourite DEEPLY annoyed and arbitrary accusation he's made that makes this payoff for Tom *_INFINITELY_* better.

Especially since the fact that they don't tesselate is why they form a dice, and why hexagons (which do) can't form a regular 3D shape. Such nerd outrage in the way he says it too.

Tom's been living in the 3rd dimension his whole life, while the hexagon supporters are 2d nerds

I like that when Dice Lord is holding court his hand doesn't leave his glasses.

Their art is as a cromfendingly arbituitous renglesnetch, grodling o'er the walls of bejurnon.

The phrase they were looking for was "Platonic Solid". No Platonic Solid is hexagonal. A Buckyball is as close as you can get. The only Platonic Solids are: - Tetrahedron (D4) - made of triangles - Cube (D6) - made of squares - Octahedron (D8) - made of triangles - Dodecahedron (D12) - made of pentagons - Icosahedron (D20) - made of triangles By the metric of Platonic Solids, it's clear that the triangle is the best polygon. Triangles are also the best polygon by virtually every other metric that exists.

What polygon do we use for 3d modeling? That's right, triangles! What can you make a Hexagon out of? Triangles again! The most basic and best shape!

@@isaacwebster8871 I model in quads... However quads are actually still Tris. The software is just taking two Tris and mapping them together. Some software will dynamically assign where the concurrent lines on the tri for the selected quad are based on the location data of all 4 vertices, but at the end of the day when it is calculated and rendered, it is using Tris.

I maintain that squares are the best polygon. They can tessellate in both 2 and 3 dimensions, and when using them as squares you can move in any dimension they're tessellating without having to move in another dimension. What other polygon can do all that?

@@yakobsoulstorm5187 I can't be bothered to see how well they tessellate in 3d, but they fill the last requirement even worse than hexagons. You can only move in one dimension in one direction at a time, not even the entire dimension.

What the fuck I literally just finished rewatching that CGP grey video 2 minutes ago and closed and reopened KZread not even a minute later (as one does..) then clicked on a fairly innocuous video. BAM - it's back. I get that this video was recommended to me because of exactly that, but hearing "Hexagons are the bestagons" from Tom immediately after watching a video about it was very trippy

Gondor

i need to find some context where i can refer to a hexagon as a hexagon and a pentagon and his friend

The reason the hexagonal prism isn't a -hedron shape is because it's not the same shape on all faces. There are some squares in there, so it's not a true platonic solid.

2:51 made me do a LUL

Tom is the Dice Lord of Dice Law.

there are no hexagon sided dice. It is unfortunately impossible.

Ben must be thinking of a D-20 or an icosahedron.

I like the octagon

these two are just the bestest boys, aren't they?

I'm screaming nonagon.......

I found out what the hexagonal dice is called, its called a Hexagonal Bifrustum

Better gon than the hexagon? Ore-gon.

Squares are better for every human use. Always. Forever. On every dimensionality.

Hexagons tesselate in 2D, therefore they wouldn't be able to form a dice (ie they can't form a regular 3D solid)
