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
That pan can fit 21 cookies
It can clearly fit 2⁵ hexagonal cookies!
Isn’t it 2⁵?
Edit: disregard, I’m clearly blind. Or dumb. Or both.
Fuck reading instructions. Amirite???
Shame about all the pentagons there.
This may be my favorite voronoi tesselation.
Bestagon cookies!
They’re the hexagreatest!
Hecks a good cookies.
Alright, as long as someone commented it!
Someone hexed those cookies
Du bist eine hexe
The toppings are also cursed.
What have you got against M&M cookies??
Cookie Catan!
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:
Columnar basalt cookies

But when I do this all the cookies fall out

I think asking which axis would be the question
I thought that was a shadow 😄
But you can get gooey and crunchy in one batch 🤣
Off to make some hexacookies. Who wants one?
Annnnd now I’m baking cookies
Voronoi cookies!
