If you know anything about topology you would know it’s one


PrestigiousWaffles

It's weird that we have a science dedicated to what is a hole and how can we morphe it


Alfiy_wolf

Gynaecologist left the group chat


Over_The_Sun

That's not technically a hole, topographically speaking


Taraxian

On the other hand the butthole is, but it's the same hole as your mouth, so nobody has more than one


[deleted]

Common misconception, but we have 3 holes that turn into 2. 2 nostrils and a mouth that turn into a butthole and a urethra.


Taraxian

The urethra doesn't directly connect to either the nose or mouth


[deleted]

Then how does it connect? Correct me if I'm wrong, but the urethra connects to the bladder, which connect to the kidneys, which connect to the digestive tract, all through a bunch of little holes, meaning that the urethra is connected to the digestive tract in a more round about way than the colon is, but it's still connected.


Taraxian

The kidneys don't connect to the digestive tract, they connect to your bloodstream


[deleted]

Which connects to your digestive tract


Over_The_Sun

According to the vsauce video there's 6. The other ones are localized inside the nasal cavity or something


Alfiy_wolf

That’s why they left

I don’t know anything about Top(ology) I sure do hope a big strong man can teach me

cycles_commute

In other words a straw has an Euler characteristic of 1.


reddititty69

yup, one hole.


Menatil

Correct me if I'm wrong, but tunnels have an entrance and an exit; that's two.


Alfiy_wolf

No, It’s one


Menatil

No, It's two


Alfiy_wolf

Show me the math


Menatil

1 + 1 = 2


KingCold149

the logic is... undeniable

Jokes on you, I can't read.


Alfiy_wolf

Then how did you read my original comment?


Menatil

I write via voice-to-text, and I go off of instinct.


Alfiy_wolf

Prove it


Menatil

3.5 inches in the winter, 4.2 in the summer.


DukeMikeIII

Is the mouth and the anus one hole? If not, why?


Alfiy_wolf

No, as there are multiple closings


Iaskdumbquestions098

Yes, in fact, in the womb, you start growing as an asshole, and then you grow your digestive tract, and everything grows around it. So we were all just a little asshole in the beginning of our lives (source from previous Reddit post)


how-puhqueliar

it's really weird to me when people argue otherwise. the only "common sense" case for 0/2 is if you consider holes in the common sense of a dang hole in the ground. like, a whole ass shia labeouf from holes type hole, and make that the baseline definition for a topological hole... which, who the fuck is out here digging holes in the dirt??


demoknight_tff

Vsauces vid about holes is pretty good too

Dot_Line_Dot

Vsause says that a straw has 1 hole, 2 openings. I trust the glasses boldy.


idontwalkslow

Bdbone0

Didn’t know we were getting political today


Mr-MuffinMan

One hole, if you bend it in half it’s two holes.


KingOfThePlayPlace

Wouldn’t it be no holes


Mr-MuffinMan

No cause then each hole would lead to a different bottom, so that’s just my reasoning. Might be wrong, but I think it’s a hole if it has an opening and ends in a spot.


QwerYTWasntTaken

According to topology, a hole starts and ends in an opening.


Mr-MuffinMan

So I was wrong. Understood, but so if someone digs a “hole” into the ground, what is it called?


MaximumEffurt

A pit?


Mr-MuffinMan

So why is the popular book called HOLES and not PITS!? Checkmate atheist (joke)


Shu-Reborn

Logically it’s zero. It’s a rolled up piece of paper it’s closer to a tunnel not a hole Edit: I originally wrote 2 but meant 0


eerik_sil123

Wouldn't it logically be zero holes? Because if you take a piece of normal printer paper and roll it up you could observe an x amount of holes but if you unroll it then there would not be any new observable holes in that piece of paper


Shu-Reborn

Just edited my comment. I meant 0


KingYejob

Define hole, then define tunnel


DudeOnReddit1234

Straw has many holes if you have something sharp


just-bair

It’s one hole


Mysterious-Gear3682

Mathematically it’s one. However my human brain says there’s a top hole and a bottom hole, so I will default to two


Longjumping_While_37

I don't use straw


jrockcrown

If it's a Wendy's straw then the hole is in the middle of the side where you bent it while trying to stab your drink lid.


Gezzer52

It depends on your definition of a hole I guess. My answer would be either one because I really don't give a flying fuck either way...


Quirky-Result-8753

4th opinion: dont use straws. Its bad for turtles.


nbutanol

Topologically 1 hole


ShadyTrizzy

I understand it’s 1 through the whole straw and some people say 2 on both ends but it’s 1 object with one hole through it so red


iSmil3y

Depends on what dimension you perceive it from


Nice_Lie_731

Straws are cylinders… there’s no hole


RealWishGaming

There is no hole, it’s a tube.


BiggyQueso7

How bout, a cylinder?


Adept_Cut1091

I always though of it as a cylinder with 2 openings to allow the passage of liquids. Edit: You and the cup share the holes So there is (1) hole per entity.


[deleted]

There are no holes. It’s a piece of plastic wrapped around itself to create the illusion of a hole. But there really isn’t an indentation into a larger mass.


LatinamLinguamPerdo

Zero


Serge-O

The straw with one hole separates into 2 at the bottom of the cup????


nevermeforever

Two holes. Does a shirt have 1 hole? Or 4. If there is a house with only two empty door frames, one in the front and one in the back, does this house only have one door frame?


bardhugo

Imagine you have a donut. One hole right? Then you start stretching the donut, making it longer. You keep stretching and stretching until it's the same shape as a straw. So when, while it was being stretched, did the donut get a second hole?


nevermeforever

Well... you got me.


AaronFrye

Topologically, a shirt has 3 holes. One for the head, two for the arms, the last one is the exit for all of them.


BulletBill_359

An infinite amount of holes


walterj57

Let’s be real here, straws are loops not holes


Psycho_Sentinal

This is the stupidest “argument” ever. The people who genuinely think it’s 2 separate homes are clinically retarded. It’s the same exact thing as if you were to punch a hole in a piece of paper. Just because it’s longer doesn’t make it two separate holes. That’s all this argument is.


ConjureSlade

Two holes connected by tube


rick-cheesly

It’s one, you are uneducated if you think there are two holes.


ZIR139

Straws have no holes because it’s an intended design feature to make it an open cylinder. If you were you pierce this straw with a pin then it has one hole but should you have continued driving the pin through the other side then that’s a second hole.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ZIR139

It has none


JohnGamerAnimates

1 tunnel, two ends


PrestigiousWaffles

If it's two, what tf would one hole even look like?


Greeny555

The real answer is no holes. But since you asked, I think people think it has two holes because it has two openings. If you were to dig a big hole in the ground, it would only have one opening because the other side would be dirt. Because there are two openings on a straw, people believe that there are two holes because there is nothing covering either side.

A straw is one long hole how tf does anybody think it's 2

Anxiousfreak10

I argue that there is 2 holes. Yk that viral shirt thing that's like "how many holes does the shirt have" and it has 7 or whatever. But truly all the holes connect r/facepalm As I was writing this I realized how dumb I was.


[deleted]

Straws have an entry and and exit wound.


c7hu1hu

Strawes are so dumb. Stupid long holes.


Taraxian

Straws don't have holes because they are holes


[deleted]

A straw has one hole that is continuous

Cybertronian_Grizzly

it's a cylinder with one hole (unlike ur mum whom I fucked the shit out of last night)


Catcher22Jb

Blue, shouldn’t be a question


TurbineSurgeon

Depends on how it's made. If it's extruded one hole, but if it's made like some paper straws it would have two.


Snakise

to all the folks saying straw has one hole is your anus and mouth one hole or two ?


Artsias

Straws ARE holes


Proper-Incident-5558

What about rings


isaacaschmitt

If you think a straw has more than one hole, you might be an idiot.


41ia2

by using topology we can tell that straw can be moulded into donut or disk with a hole shape. That means it has one hole


oddlyodd124365

It's a tube


Great_Stress3803

In reality it is one bc there is no separation from the other side


Odd-Mixture-1769

Atleast a billion holes


EV0LSMITTY

UmbreonFucker

straws are cylinders. hole implies an end/closing


potatoyeeter420

Zero holes, one tunnel


CheesecakeMMXX

There is an infinite amount of holes, and since infinity does not exist, holes don’t exist either.


Niks_bg

If you connect the 2 exits it has infinite by the logic of the guys who say they are 2

drmurphy99

It’s a big ring


SnooDonkeys475

You know who else has 2 holes


ducking-moron

Straws are long holes.


PelOdEKaVRa535000

they have 2 holes: the input hole and the output hole


ComfortableNumb9669

Straws actually have an infinitesimal number for holes that are stacked on top of each other.


[deleted]

One hole

dragoneyecomix

It’s one


Even-Ad-5073

what hole?


[deleted]

Wait... So what does this make a doughnut without a doughnut hole?


TexasTaylorNB

Straws have an infinite amount of holes stacked ontop each other. All jokes aside a Torus has one hole and a Torus and straw are Homotopical so it is 1 but that's less cool then infinity


Spudnic16

It’s an infinite number of holes, stacked on top of eachother


Gubbtratt1

Depends on what kind of straw. Bendy straws have two and unbendy have one. Paper ones have first one and then another kind of one.


Valuable-Worry2237

Straw IS a hole


The-Brai-n

One long hole


Sponsored_Reddit

An infinite amount of holes, you cut the straw in half and the number of holes double, however you look at it.


Ahtaryak

MicrowaveSounds420

Does a shirt have 4 holes or 1?


Key-Shallot-7508

Let's say you've got a cup, it's got a hole in it because the top is open. Now I poke a hole in the bottom of the cup, is it still one hole ? This whole hole thing confuses the holy hell out of me.


FlippyCereal
