At work we somehow landed on the topic of how many holes a human has, which then evolved into a heated discussion on the classic question of how many holes does a straw have.
I think it’s two, but some people are convinced that it’s one, which I just don’t understand. What are your thoughts?
How many holes does a rubber band have? A donut?
Topologically a rubber band, a donut, and a straw have the same number of holes. The hole at either end of the straw is just a continuation of the same one hole.
None of them have holes, usually. A hole goes from the outside of a volume to the inside. Those are all intact tori.
By that argument your mouth is a continuation of your asshole… No offense.
I mean… yeah
Some people haven’t realized almost all animals are just tubes with various fancy shit glued on.
Edit: including humans
Or put biologically, virtually all fauna are just various advanced forms of flatworm.
Indeed, and when you kiss someone you are making one big hole connected by two assholes.
Anal 69s just make one big reverse-donut

I guess we all are talking out of our asses, then…
Take that cylinder and stretch it until it’s a cube with two square cutouts in it. Stretch in some of the inner walls. Now you have a house, with a door and a window. Now: does the house have two holes - a door and a window - or does it have one hole?
I disagree. A rubber band and a donut do not have an ‘in’ and ‘out’.
A straw’s “in” and “out” are completely arbitrary. You can flip a straw either way and it’d still work.
Anything with a hole through it that isn’t perfectly 2D could have a “in” and “out” side. Your rubber band your doughnut only don’t have one because nobody ever thought to define one.
Stick your finger through a donut, does it go in one side and out the other?
