mmm, it might seem tacky at first, its actually a clever design which maximises the length of new coastline, a bit like the design of the human lung. if youre into mathematical curiosities, theres lots of fun stuff in the measurement of coastlines, and surfaces, you'll find that the coastline of a country fir example is infinitely long when measured in finer and finer increments. hello? still there? : Z😴
