gollark: <@249056455552925697> You know tesselations of stuff in regular Euclidean geometry, where you have infinite grids of squares and triangles and hexagons and all that?
gollark: I don't actually understand the maths involved well enough to generate those myself, but I was reading the Wikipedia articles on it and thought "hmmm, these patterns are neat, I will use [search engine] image search to find a nice one to use as a profile picture".
gollark: It's actually some sort of tesselation of heptagons ~~in~~ and hexagons in hyperbolic geometry.
gollark: No, those tend to be translucent.
