Your Skin Is Low-Poly

Text on the meme

don't listen to this guy your skin is covered in triangles because you're actually a low-poly mesh Btw your skin is covered in triangles because it's the natural buckling mode for thin sheets trying to conform to a surface with non-zero Gaussian curvature

What it means

A screenshot of a social-media exchange shows one user joking that human skin is a low-poly mesh, while another gives a serious mathematical explanation involving buckling and Gaussian curvature. The joke comes from treating a technical fact about curved surfaces as an absurd explanation of why skin is made of triangles, paired with an illustrative three-panel diagram.
