"Infinite families of monohedral disk tilings" - Essentially how to cut pizza into equal pieces using curved lines.
:roll:
BenRG:
I'm betting that pizza cuttling one was funded by a fast food chain who want to create a totally automatice pizza cooking system including robotically cutting perfectly equal portions.. Expect to see the 'Curly-Cut Pizza Pie' to be a thing some day soon!
Near Lurker:
...she's not this way with everything you have to cut, is she? Because assuming she eats things besides muffins, that seems problematic.

I find it hard to decide whether these people should be mocked or pitied.

Congratulated.
Taking pleasure in small, essentially pointless activities, is surely a life enhancing exercise.
As is, for example, spending time on commenting on the fictional activities of cartoon characters in an invented universe.
The former are scarcely more ridiculous than the latter.
I've certainly indulged in cutting Pizza into different patterns instead of simple radial slices before serving it. If it causes a smile on the face of the recipient then its surely a good thing.
I was disappointed, though, to see all the patterns in the piece having a common centre point. I wonder if its possible to slice a pizza with a pattern of identical tiles in which there is no central point?
