  Mouth, Anus, Nasal Passages (2), Occular passages (2), Aural passages (2) = 8. -1 for topology reasons (one “hole” is a divot, not a tube, and a divot is topologically equivalent to a smooth surface) = 7.

  Math checks out. (And I think stand-up maths or some other maths youtuber did a longer version of this post with more detailed and complete reasoning.)

  Well, there’s the one obvious one - mouth through to the anus, there may be more openings to that hole, but I don’t believe any of them go all the way through.

    That changes the topology though. It does go all the way through a section which prevents it from reshaping into a straw/donut

      Yes. I’m afraid I’m not a real topologist, so we’re at their mercy. Let us pray they don’t come up with new holes.

        But you are topologically equivalent to one!

    Two more out the nose

      They go through the same hole as the mouth in the end, though. At least a part of them…

      I think I said in another comment that I’m not an actual expert on this matter. So there may well be more holes in this theory, and person.

        Yes, but they’re distinct openings, which means we’re not topologically equivalent to a doughnut when you take them into account. Topological equivalence implies that you can transform one object into another without changing the number of openings. Classic example is a doughnut and a coffee mug (the handle of a coffee mug is the opening). A human would be equivalent to a doughnut with two holes poked through the side into the middle.
