a vagina alone has 6, so this is hardly accurate.

[–] lud@lemm.ee 25 points 2 days ago (4 children)

No, in topology those are pretty much just indents (I.E irrelevant)

For a hole to be considered a hole, it has to go through an object.

[–] Owlboi@lemm.ee 7 points 2 days ago

see, this is why everyone hates topology and their silly yet weirdly true rules.

Ponders a klein vagina....

Booooo. We all know what a hole is, don't bring topology into this. I'll give you a plate for your drinks at my house if you pull this silliness.

[–] lud@lemm.ee 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Wait, do you consider cups to be portable holes for liquids?

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

If you don't see the difference between a cup and a plate because they're the same topologically then I'm gonna use them interchangeably around you.

[–] lud@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Of course they are different. But they aren't holes lol.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm not going to stand for this hole trutherism. If you take a shovel and dig, you have made a hole. We have called that a hole forever. Usage dictates meaning.

[–] lud@lemm.ee 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sure if you dig a hole I agree that it's called a hole.

But saying that cups or other containers have holes is unhinged even if you ignore topology completely.

And which of those definitions applies to a cup?

A cup isn't a hollowed out place though. It's a cup.

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 0 points 1 day ago

You will need to put a handle under the plate.
Then I'm fine.

Wait... do holes that meet up with other holes count as separate holes? The nostrils meet up with the mouth hole but then combined they go through to the anus. Do those count as three distinct holes, since looking at each of them individually they would count as a hole? Or would there be one hole with... four openings?

ETA: I have more questions. Do all the openings need to be open to still be considered a hole? Is it only a hole if all my sphincters are open and my mouth is open? If I'm getting choked but my mouth is open and I'm trying to breathe, does my mouth to nostrils count as a hole themselves? Do my nostrils automatically count as a hole as long as one or both isn't stuffed up?

Yep, they are considered separate holes. So for example. "Mouth to the ass" is one hole and the two nostrils add two holes to the total.

I don't think it really matters how big the hole is so as long as the opening isn't fused maybe it still counts as a hole. But really, I think whenever your mouth is open or not is out of scope for topology.
