Anybody ever think about how humans are just very oddly shaped donuts?
Just answer the question you fuckin' nerd

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)
Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Starfish are not a good example. They have no holes. Their mouth is their anus.
i_love_FFT@jlai.lu 1 year ago
Considérons that our lungs and intestines are porous on a molecular scale… And also our sweat pores… Plus are blood vessels (connected to previously mentioned holes)…
Humans have a changing topology depending on the size scale at which you’re working.

Who the hell is asking coffee or a donut?

Ya, give me both please.

It’s the same shape, just reshaped
genius!
webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
Silly topologist.
Coffee is a liquid, it can adjust to any shape.
SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 1 year 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.

The ocean is the same as the Hadron Super-Collider, just reshaped.
reddifuge@lemmy.world 1 year ago
They better all weigh the same.
Bluewing@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Shape has little to do with mass. Unless you want it to be so.
JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 year ago
Well, for one, that’s a coffee mug, not coffee. But I suppose coffee can also be in all of these shapes.
Gullible@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
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 year 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!
Gullible@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I always wondered what it would look like if you took Eastern European donuts and make them bigger. They look delicious!
jqubed@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Who’s out here deep frying crepes? American county/state fair vendors?
grue@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Well, they are now.
NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
I see no coffee here.

The Everything Everywhere All at Once sequel got weird.
Kraiden@piefed.social 1 year ago
because the original was a parade of normality?
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 year ago
This is exactly why my local Dunkin Donuts stopped serving topologists.
Phlimy@jlai.lu 1 year ago
Same! Now they serve coffee and donuts instead.

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 1 year ago
Are there any recent breakthroughs in topology I should be aware of?
Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I heard they found a new type of hole.
KeenFlame@feddit.nu 1 year ago
No you mean not niche
kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 1 year 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 year 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 year ago
Only if you are a very good ologist
Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Career progression is from midologist.
Xenny@lemmy.world 1 year 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.
MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 1 year ago
Let me know so I can hand them my Blender models I’m too lazy to RE-topologize. Ugh! Lol
ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 1 year ago
Incidentally, this is also the only thing most people know about what topology even is

Meanwhile, physicists: “Matter is basically just empty space and tiny particles moving very fast, a hole is just even emptier space”

Okay, so eat the fucking coffee cup. I’ll wait.

The Orville is underrated. I think the episode order should be different. The first few are too comedy focused.

Hmmmm, 7 donuts
godlessworm@hexbear.net 1 year ago
what about bottomology?? no one ever talks about bottomology.
SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 1 year ago
One handle, one hole. The essence holds.
Jessica@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
What the hell is that handle on the mug. You can maybe fit one finger in that thing!
krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
HEY EVERYONE! This guys a nerd! Throw rocks at his face!
Sphere@hexbear.net 1 year ago
Who the hell wants a ceramic donut?
huf@hexbear.net 1 year ago
or a soggy cup-shaped donut with coffee soaking through it
godlessworm@hexbear.net 1 year ago
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.

Q:
Bagel or Donut?Topologist:
<doesn’t understand the question>Lurker123@hexbear.net 1 year ago
Has anybody ever been asked “Coffee or donut?”
plinky@hexbear.net 1 year ago
like attracts like, topological edition.
this is why you have to eat chocolate bars with a tumbler
Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 year ago
I’m just gonna give the dude a lump of clay and he can do whatever he wants with it.
Honytawk@feddit.nl 1 year ago
Try holding an entire mug of coffee with a donut
KeenFlame@feddit.nu 1 year ago
A topologist does not smile. A topologist wonders why the basic example from his introduction is shoveled into his face for no reason
SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 1 year ago
It’s asking about the coffee not the coffee cup.
If your coffee has a hole in it that’s weird.
xthexder@l.sw0.com 1 year ago
I take my coffee black-hole seriously.
SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 1 year ago
A black hole isn’t a hole.
kurwa@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Ah but you see, coffee in this mug would have a hole in it: Image
SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 1 year ago
I could fuck that coffee cup.
KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
This looks like hell to clean
tempest@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
That’s one of those fun things until you have to clean it.
athatet@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
Just enjoy the meme you fuckin nerd.
SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 1 year 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.
dustyData@lemmy.world 1 year 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 1 year 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 year 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
