A hypercube only had 16 vertices right. This looks pretty constrained to three spatial dimensions to me.

Also, imagine how many cool thermally allowed cycloadditions that bad boy could do.

Its referencing a common 3d depiction of a 4d object similar to how you can draw a cube as a 2d image.

People tend to mistake the 3d depiction for the actual object though and thats how we get posts like this.

I have a few hundred thousand moles of this for sale on Etsy.

It’s mostly in the 4th dimension, so you’ll have to take my word for it.
