Can someone explain pls
This shape is a fractal made from the Mandelbrot set. I guess the joke is that the more you zoom in the edges the more detail there is, so doing them would be an impossibly infinite task. https://mander.xyz/post/8966692[More info on the Mandelbrot set here.](https://mander.xyz/post/8966692)
This shows the phenomenon pretty well. I like to watch this once in a while to remind myself that I know nothing about anything.
From the mandelbrot boundary wiki: "Images of the Mandelbrot set exhibit an infinitely complicated boundary that reveals progressively ever-finer recursive detail at increasing magnifications"

Thankyou. Even as a concept I find it creepy
