Ah but you see, coffee in this mug would have a hole in it: Image

It’s asking about the coffee not the coffee cup.
If your coffee has a hole in it that’s weird.

I could fuck that coffee cup.

This looks like hell to clean

That’s one of those fun things until you have to clean it.

Just enjoy the meme you fuckin nerd.
SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 11 months ago
I can't enjoy it if it's obviously based on lies.
Plus look at that fucking coffee cup handle and tell me you like it, I dare you.

I had a very cool class in research epistemology and the exercise was basically to answer the question, do liquids have a shape and if yes, which is it? How would you prove it?
It was the source of the most deranged but valuable discussion I’ve ever had.

Isn’t part of the definition of liquid that it takes the form of its container?
I need an epistemological argument like I need a hole in my head.
dustyData@lemmy.world 11 months ago
One of them was that in a vacuum, absent of any container or gravity, a liquid’s shape is that of a sphere.
Another one was that depending on the definition of liquid, liquids might or might not have a shape. It also varies depending on the definition of the attribute shape.
The point of the exercise was to challenge the notion of objective truth in science.
anomnom@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Without gravity it’s a sphere, or in free fall without air drag it’s a sphere (if it has sufficient surface tension anyway, which is what makes lava or molasses flow that way, in combination with its viscosity).
But in a vacuum it will boil off until the vapor pressure is high enough to eliminate the vacuum. But then it’s not in a vacuum anymore.
Really a fluid or liquid will always try to minimize its surface area while fighting gravity.
It’s a definitions problem that a lot of people who think there aren’t “objective truths” in science.

If the “thread” width is around the size of an electron, then the coffee (liquid) has basically infinite hole.
The same applies to the cup, our hands and so on

I take my coffee black-hole seriously.
SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 11 months ago
A black hole isn’t a hole.
MeatPilot@lemmy.world 11 months ago
If it’s in space sure, but what if it’s on a person.
SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 11 months ago
You could say the same thing about a bullet but a bullet isn't a hole either.

Or is it? We don’t know what’s going on inside the singularity, it might as well actually be a hole in spacetime.
