    Oh just that square packing thing from the post. There have been many posts/jokes about it being a mathematically optimal solution that feels irritatingly wrong.

    I find the whole thing funny because it’s a very niche scientific concept that somehow made it to popular culture to the same level as a zombie game.

      Yeah, it might be optimal for that specific case, but that doesn’t really make it so everywhere.

      The item in the post would be fun for novelty though.
