That doesn’t sound less weird.
Comment on WHY???

It’s less weird when you realize it’s not a hexagon, it’s a sine wave in cylindrical coordinates. There are a lot of negative feedback loops such that a sine wave can turn into a standing wave. You just have to get a little lucky with a couple important things like your rossby number et voila, hexagon.

Image Take this, bend it around the pole so it becomes circular.

A planet with an investment chart for a pole. WHY.

sine waves aren’t strictly an investment thing, they are more of a general math thing and can be used to model a wide variety of stuff (in this case this graph is for investing, but for example it comes up in physics a lot)

Saturn’s butt is made of Bitcoin, got it.

Here’s a better visualization from Minute Physics idea how these “wave” patterns can make geometric shapes, using the fact that Earth’s moon doesn’t make a smooth circle around the sun.
