The idea that we are still making new discoveries and expanding our understanding of 2-d geometry is so crazy to think about.

Thousands of years of monkey scratches and we still haven’t found all the rectangles and rhombuses and whatnot

The craziest part is one of the last discoveries on penrose tilling was done by a hobbyist
