Rectified truncated octahedron
The rectified truncated octahedron is a polyhedron, constructed as a rectified truncated octahedron. It has 38 faces: 24 isosceles triangles, 6 squares, and 8 hexagons.

Topologically, the squares corresponding to the octahedron's vertices are always regular, although the hexagons, while having equal edge lengths, do not have the same edge lengths with the squares, having different but alternating angles, causing the triangles to be isosceles instead.
Related polyhedra
The rectified truncated octahedron can be seen in sequence of rectification and truncation operations from the octahedron. Further truncation, and alternation creates two more polyhedra:

gollark: Interesting features:- all numbers are hexadecimal always- it has no support for immediate parameters which aren't addresses or something- there are no registers and exactly 256 bytes of memory, one of which is the program counter- conditional moves are the only conditional thing
gollark: ```x86asm!PAD E0LOOP:re 8 RIadd RJ RI !1mez RJ I !0re 8 RJidm RI RJmov I !LOOPRI: ! 0RJ: ! 0```Here is some example code.
gollark: Or machine code.
gollark: You should write TIS³ assembly instead.
gollark: I should relocate them to the "bee apiary apioid zone".
