Snowflakes are a good example of the fact that thermodynamic entropy isn't the same as "order" as perceived by humans.

And if you keep replying "no the final state of the system is actually more disorganized" I'm going to lose my shit. Yes, it has higher entropy, that's the 2nd law. But it doesn't *look* like it from your viewpoint. That's my entire point: your perception is deceitful
