I am well aware that people have three topological holes. Matter of fact, I proved that years ago.
In this case, I only referred to one topological hole, from mouth to anus.

Ominous
This fella explains it way better than I ever could…
Yum.
why is the nose only one hole?
Nose is two. Your butt isn’t one. Or rather, your mouth and nostrils would be the entrance and your butt is the combined exit of those three holes. If you don’t count the nostrils, you only have one hole. A hole always goes through something, otherwise it’s just a cavity. And also, holes only count from one side. Your butt and mouth are the same hole, just from different ends.
Kissing with open mouths creates a hole from one butthole to another.
Nose is only one hole, topologically speaking. You can run a string from one nostril to the other.
One topological hole.
No, all 7 holes (nostrils, mouth, tear ducts) have a common cavity, so they’re 7 holes not one.
oh! but then why is it three holes and not nostril-to-mouth as a hole and other-nostril-to-butt as another hole, or some other combination
Quick illustration:
Nostrils: ___________ _________ | _________| | _________ | Mouth: | | \________| | ________ | / | | | | | | | | | | | | Butthole
That is 3 holes in total because you can connect any opening with 3 different one’s.
Nose is only one hole homie, runs from one nostril to the other. It takes the mouth to add a secondary orifilce. And it takes the anus to add a third orifice.
Topology for ya.
Doesn’t matter which way you turn it, the result is the same. As you count it, your first hole is nostril to nostril. I count mouth to anus as hole one and then add the left and right nostrils as secondary and tertiary orifices. Having a nose ads two holes to the total count. If you had no nose, you‘d have one hole, if you only had a nose, you’d also only have one hole.
You don’t need that

7, if the cut-off is 60 microns (tear ducts). Smaller than that, we’re essentially Swiss cheese.

Tbh, I was kinda hoping for someone with better biology knowledge than me to correct me. Thanks.
