if you food poisoning you will be exiting out of both holes.
Got it, a CD has 2 holes as well.
I was making a minnow net to catch baitfish for my son. To make a cone you need a half circle of material out of mesh.
Now in a 2D world the where there is no thickness this would be correct, if material can be added to fill gaps.
In a 3D world, any round object with a hole and some thickness could be a straw. A washer is a straw by this logic
If a flat disc has no holes, how many holes does the surface of a sphere have?
Two people kissing make a single continous tube going from one anus to the other
Great now I need a new folder.
hehe kinky
that meme format makes me feel old... I used to see it in like 2008 👴
But this one seems to be updated for some reason? The bottom spit take reaction is not the original.
A straw has zero holes. It's just a flat piece of plastic wrapped around and attached to itself. Ain't nobody drilling holes through plastic to make straws.
Try that argument with your local topologist
Depends whether or not you consider the fastening of a surface to itself to be a real change to the topology.
This suggests the reverse is true, that every hole is at minimum a tube.
I'm throwing out all my cups today. I'll jut drink from my plates.
also, cups and plates are not equal topologically, because a cup has handle with a hole in it, and plate doesn't
Perhaps the cups with one hole are the real solo cups.
Solo hole 😏
touche
Hahahaha I win again, Internet stranger!
Woe on me! Woe on me, sire! For the eternal shame you put onto me is irredeemable!
Ah, whatever shall i do? My bloodline is forever in aura debt!
Spread fourth this knowledge my peon!

you are what you eat: a donut
or sth
Nah, there’s like 11 to 14 macroscopic holes in my body. You just can’t get a dick in most of them.
Good fucking science meme!
A straw has one hole that is open to two entrances. Like a single tunnel. We never say that a tunnel has two holes.
A tunnel has two holes.
We mustn't say that. It is forbidden.
Christmas is just another form of control, from the matrix.
it pushes massive consumerism and the idea to kids must do as told to be "nice," cause we can watch them all the time like a cia state.
Is that less forbidden?
It is forbidden.
I got a T shaped cat tunnel. It's got two holes. I think. Topology can go suck a lemon

The colloquial meaning is different from a topological definition. Anything with a through-hole has a hole at each end. It's an ambiguous question because the answer depends whether you're referring to a openings in the face of the object (a cylinder in the case of a straw) or the void connecting the surface openings. Perhaps the safest answer is inclusive, so three. I've been told I'm not fun at parties.
