Polyhedra Memes

The slow but inevitable transformation from a yellow dodecahedron to a blue icosahedron isn't just a geometric journey—it's a cautionary tale about academic specialization. Start with basic geometry in undergrad, and before you know it, you're truncating polyhedra in grad school and waking up at 3 AM wondering if Platonic solids have feelings. Next thing you know, you're defending a dissertation on "Topological Transitions in Non-Euclidean Spaces" and your parents are telling everyone you "do something with shapes." The pipeline is real, people.
