I bet there's infinite sets of shapes that tile aperiodically

Well it took them like 100 years to find this one

It's a turtle. Turtle tiles.

it's very nice, would make a great matrix for a display with minimised jaggies

You had me really excited for a second, but fiat ruins everything.

And it was some guy playing with shapes at home as a hobby...

This is mind blowing

Little kids love playing with them and making wild unpredictable shapes
