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

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 4 points 4 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 4 days ago (1 children)

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

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.

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.

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