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). If you simplified us down topographically, it'd be like you formed a donut around a starfish with the arms sticking out and then you just deleted the starfish.

"BEHOLD. A MAN!"

Good old Vsauce

Anybody ever think about how donuts are just very oddly shaped humans?

There's a vsauce video about this

I take my coffee black-hole seriously.

Ah but you see, coffee in this mug would have a hole in it:

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.

Just enjoy the meme you fuckin nerd.

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

Ya, give me both please.

when someone at work is making a coffee run and can only afford one thing per person

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.

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

Stay too long as a coffee cup and you'll remain a donut forever!

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!

Who’s out here deep frying crepes? American county/state fair vendors?

because the original was a parade of normality?

Same! Now they serve coffee and donuts instead.

When did they start serving topologists? It seems an odd menu item

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

you can be a mathematics professor who specializes in topology, but that's probably about as close as it gets from what i know

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

Are there any recent breakthroughs in topology I should be aware of?

No you mean not niche

Except those go from one hole to over a dozen.

My friend.
