Anybody ever think about how humans are just very oddly shaped donuts?
kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 1 day ago
That’s not entirely true. We don’t have just one hole going through us. Our holes branch. We have 3 intakes (2 nostrils, 1 mouth) and 2 outputs (1 anus, 1 urethra)

Starfish are not a good example. They have no holes. Their mouth is their anus.

They better all weigh the same.

Shape has little to do with mass. Unless you want it to be so.

It’s the same shape, just reshaped
genius!

Well, for one, that’s a coffee mug, not coffee. But I suppose coffee can also be in all of these shapes.

Silly topologist.
Coffee is a liquid, it can adjust to any shape.
SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
You must be shapeless, formless, like coffee. When you pour coffee in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour coffee in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour coffee in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Coffee can flow and it can crash. Become like coffee my friend.

Topology is one of those sciences that is hyper-niche to the point that it seems like it would have very limited scope, but when you take a closer look it’s actually studying something fundamental.
PrimeMinisterKeyes@leminal.space 17 hours ago
Are there any recent breakthroughs in topology I should be aware of?
Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 16 hours ago
I heard they found a new type of hole.

This is exactly why my local Dunkin Donuts stopped serving topologists.

Same! Now they serve coffee and donuts instead.

I’d eat a coffee mug shaped donut, but a waffle would hold up better. An elephant ear is fine as well, but a crepe is right out.
panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
What about a beavers tail?
If the answer is yes, please come visit Canada and enjoy one with cinnamon and lemon (the best flavour) in Ottawa while skating on our gorgeous canal!

I always wondered what it would look like if you took Eastern European donuts and make them bigger. They look delicious!

because the original was a parade of normality?
kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Is “topologist” a job? Like someone who specializes in telling you how many holes and knots exist in a given object, How to “untie” seemingly knotted things that actually topographically have no knots? Do you clock in for that, or is it a 1099 freelancer thing?
affiliate@lemmy.world 1 day ago
you can be a mathematics professor who specializes in topology, but that’s probably about as close as it gets from what i know
schnokobaer@feddit.org 1 day ago
Only if you are a very good ologist

Career progression is from midologist.
Xenny@lemmy.world 1 day ago
3D artists can specialize in topology where they make sure to clean up the models that other artists sculpt to optimize them for animation and performance. Depending on the use case you need different approaches to a models topology and it can get very complex actually. So yeah, it is people’s entire jobs to do this and they probably get paid more than us.

Let me know so I can hand them my Blender models I’m too lazy to RE-topologize. Ugh! Lol
KeenFlame@feddit.nu 14 hours ago
A topologist does not smile. A topologist wonders why the basic example from his introduction is shoveled into his face for no reason

Incidentally, this is also the only thing most people know about what topology even is

if someone could find a way to make a coffee mug out of a donut that doesnt leak and you could eat it afterward i would love that.

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

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.
dustyData@lemmy.world 1 day ago
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.
anomnom@sh.itjust.works 8 hours ago
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.
nekbardrun@lemmy.world 1 day ago
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
