We've got 7! Four in the eyes, two in the nose, and one digestive! The rest are just topological cavities. Oh and extras for every piercing you have.
One digestive? Are you a jellyfish?
It goes all the way through so it is one pipe.
And a pipe has 2 openings otherwise it would be a cup, wouldn’t it?
Is a pipe two holes or one?
Please go and ask a plumber this question. Preferably a relative at a family gathering and in front of everyone. This will bring enjoyment for years to come.
Why are you so aggressive man?
I think you replied to the wrong post?
A pipe has 1 hole, a cup has zero holes. A pipe is equivalent to a disc with a hole in the center since you can flatten it into that, a cup is equivalent to a disc with no hole because it can be flattened into that
*openings
Amazing, we went from how many openings the human body has to an anatomically incorrect human digestive system to a pipe and then to a cup being a disc.
So you mix the words opening and holes as is possible in common language and then proceed to be anal about the term hole in context of topology. While a scholar of topology uses the common word hole to explain the concept of e.g. an annulus or torus to a student it is not a defined term per se.
For the sake of argument I'll accept your incorrect application of the term hole as in a pipe having only one hole. This would still mean it has at least 2 openings. In the context of OP (human digestive system) an entry point (mouth) and an exit (anus).
BTW - you shall henceforth consume liquids only from platters and are required to use the word berry only in the biological correct sense (e.g.: straw-thingy, black-thingy, rasp-thingy, cucumberry, pumpberry, pinemultifruit, etc. pp. - have fun)
