A straw has 1 hole that goes all the way through.
How about the digestive system?

anzo@programming.dev 10 months ago
So, infinite holes. Just like a line has infinite points. And, a longer straw has a bigger infinite number of holes.
tomiant@piefed.social 10 months ago
I mean no matter how you look at it it’s just the one hole.
In fact, all holes are the same hole.
If you think about it.
NichEherVielleicht@feddit.org 10 months ago
That’s what my uncle said.

The mother of all holes.
The motherhole if you will.

So oral and anal are fucking the same hole and pussy is not a real hole.
CrazyLikeGollum@lemmy.world 10 months ago
The pussy’s more of a pit than a hole.
But yes, anal and oral are the same hole.

Theres just one thing, and one way to look a the thing, which is the thing itself.

I like to think that all our holes are connected in a way

Who the fuck thinks that a straw has 2 holes?
roguetrick@lemmy.world 10 months ago
How many holes do you got @NachBarcelona@piefed.social?
NachBarcelona@piefed.social 10 months ago
I think topologically I have only those:
- Mouth to ass (oh yeah)
- Left nostril
- Right nostril
- Left Eustachian tube
- Right Eustachian tube
- Right tear duct
- Left tear duct
No piercings or anything, so that’s it.

A straw has one hole that is open to two entrances. Like a single tunnel. We never say that a tunnel has two holes.
Nomorereddit@lemmy.today 10 months ago
A tunnel has two holes.
bricklove@midwest.social 10 months ago
We mustn’t say that. It is forbidden.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I got a T shaped cat tunnel. It’s got two holes. I think. Topology can go suck a lemon
Rhoeri@piefed.world 10 months ago
Which is why I said SINGLE tunnel.
Natanael@infosec.pub 10 months ago
Still one hole unless there’s isolated sections
untorquer@lemmy.world 10 months ago
This suggests the reverse is true, that every hole is at minimum a tube.
I’m throwing out all my cups today. I’ll jut drink from my plates.
CheesyFox@lemmy.sdf.org 10 months ago
also, cups and plates are not equal topologically, because a cup has handle with a hole in it, and plate doesn’t
zeca@lemmy.ml 10 months ago
So we finally realise that the topological notion of “hole” doesnt really capture the natural language concept of a hole.
titanicx@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
Not all cups have that. I would consider that more a mug.

halvar@lemy.lol 10 months ago
Ehh. I’m not sure it’s very constructive to make a topological argument from a debate people usually think about as a linguistic one.
Derpenheim@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
I like to think of this particular example as a sort of reminder that we need to be specific on what grounds we are arguing. Colloquially, and for the sake of practicality, the straw has two holes. You would one hole or the other is in the drink, or clogged. But topologically, yes, there is only one hole.
4am@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
Except maybe to illustrate the necessity of various disciplines, as this is a maths problem and not a linguistics one.
Arguing the linguistics of this is like arguing over astrology.
stevedice@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
But saying that to make a hole in a sphere, you need to make two holes in the sphere is funny.
halvar@lemy.lol 10 months ago
Very good observation. Now what about a hollow sphere?
zeca@lemmy.ml 10 months ago
Fields dont need to be that isolated. In the end its arbitrary, so why not accept arguments of all perspectives?

A straw has zero holes. It’s just a flat piece of plastic wrapped around and attached to itself. Ain’t nobody drilling holes through plastic to make straws.
ytg@sopuli.xyz 10 months ago
Try that argument with your local topologist
VoterFrog@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Depends whether or not you consider the fastening of a surface to itself to be a real change to the topology.

So, I kinda just woke up from a nap and my still confused mind thought the meme said the straw had four holes.

Denjin@feddit.uk 10 months ago
Well, pretty much every animal is merely a digestive tract with ever more elaborate ways of funneling food in one end and get rid of the waste at the other.

Lizard@discuss.tchncs.de 10 months ago
Technically, the digestive system (i.e., the full gastro intestinal tract) is considered as part of the “outside” of the body, acting as an external surface similar to the skin. The space that an object can travel through without crossing a cell membrane or entering blood or tissue is called “lumen”. So the same intuition as in the meme actually holds true here, too.
comrade19@lemmy.world 10 months ago
We have a pee hole and a poo hole and a mouth hole and a nose hole do really we’ve got a few holes going on there
CovfefeKills@lemmy.world 10 months ago
We have a massive amount of holes in our bodies. Those are just the most major holes. It comes down to what you consider a hole. Is a mouth a hole okay but what about small pours that open and close?
SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Sometimes I tell my girlfriend I’m going to use every hole she has, then try to stick it up her nose. Now I realize I can get way more creative.
Heikki2@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I was making a minnow net to catch baitfish for my son. To make a cone you need a half circle of material out of mesh.
Now in a 2D world the where there is no thickness this would be correct, if material can be added to fill gaps.
In a 3D world, any round object with a hole and some thickness could be a straw. A washer is a straw by this logic
someacnt@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
It still has two holes compared to a ball, and that is our usual frame of reference.
aravindan_v@programming.dev 10 months ago
At step 4 it is not a straw anymore…
glitchdx@lemmy.world 10 months ago
at step 2 it’s not a staw anymore, that’s a narrow funnel.
nialv7@lemmy.world 10 months ago
If a flat disc has no holes, how many holes does a sphere have?
I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I hate this logic. Of course there are two holes. Look, plug one end and do the unfold method in the comic again so instead of one hole in the center, it’s just a solid disk. Does that mean if the straw is plugged at one end there are zero holes? Of course not.
FuyuhikoDate@feddit.org 10 months ago

if you food poisoning you will be exiting out of both holes.
ImgurRefugee114@reddthat.com 10 months ago
Anything with a through-hole has a hole at each end. It’s an ambiguous question because the answer depends whether you’re referring to a openings in the face of the object (a cylinder in the case of a straw) or the void connection the surface openings.
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 10 months ago
You could make infinite indentations in an object with zero holes. That’s a very poor definition for a hope topologically.
ImgurRefugee114@reddthat.com 10 months ago
I’ll give it a try and get back to you
Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
And yet each indentation could hold something, like cheese or a kitten, so each indentation in functionally different from a smooth surface.
Deforming a shape changes it, thus topology is a special case of specifically ignoring most aspects of a shape.
blackbrook@mander.xyz 10 months ago
But it’s a good definition if you are, say, putting a thing into each indentation. That’s why the two definitions are different.
MacAnus@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Openings and indentations aren’t the same thing though, are they?
