Attention Townspeople: Scientists Have Discovered A New Shape!

Whoa…I’ve never really given this much thought, but I guess it makes sense that we haven’t officially discovered every “shape” in existence yet.

Yep. We have a new shape discovery. Scientists are calling it a SCUTOID!

As you can see, it’s an extremely annoying shape. Oh. And it resides in our cells.

More via New Scientist:

Say hello to the scutoid, a brand new shape that has been discovered in our cells. This addition to geometry finally explains how nature packs cells efficiently into three-dimensional structures.

All animals are formed from tissues that bend into complex shapes. The building blocks of these structures are epithelial cells, which pack tightly together to form the lining of blood vessels and organs.

It looks like two shapes spooning. That’s my scientific hot take.

just want someone to be the orange scutoid to my yellow scutoid https://t.co/sMRKLFh9gl

HAHAHA.

I ❤️ this. How long until scutoid salt & pepper shakers are available?

Please don’t do this.

Imagine your high school math teacher “Find the area of this shape.” https://t.co/xAEseDBTiD

Not interested. I’ll be sticking with the classics like Square and Triangle. Maybe Rhombus on Fridays. https://t.co/ewsVsS41pl

Thank God I never have to take another math class again.

Also,

Lmaoooo!!
