I mean no matter how you look at it it's just the one hole.

In fact, all holes are the same hole.

If you think about it.

That's what my uncle said.

The mother of all holes.

The motherhole if you will.

The Motherhole

I was in a band called that!

We mostly played blues standards and industrial metal and our live shows prominently featured custom inflatables.

I like to think that all our holes are connected in a way

Not like a human centipede though

So oral and anal are fucking the same hole and pussy is not a real hole.

[–] CrazyLikeGollum@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (4 children)

The pussy's more of a pit than a hole.

But yes, anal and oral are the same hole.

I can tell you haven't watch the hole documentary starring Rainier Wolfcastle

Vaginal canal -> cervix -> uterus -> oviducts ->abdominal cavity

I'd say the pussy is a hole.

So, I kinda just woke up from a nap and my still confused mind thought the meme said the straw had four holes.

[–] halvar@lemy.lol 16 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Ehh. I'm not sure it's very constructive to make a topological argument from a debate people usually think about as a linguistic one.

[–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But saying that to make a hole in a sphere, you need to make two holes in the sphere is funny.

[–] halvar@lemy.lol 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Very good observation. Now what about a hollow sphere?

I like to think of this particular example as a sort of reminder that we need to be specific on what grounds we are arguing. Colloquially, and for the sake of practicality, the straw has two holes. You would one hole or the other is in the drink, or clogged. But topologically, yes, there is only one hole.

Who the fuck thinks that a straw has 2 holes?

It still has two holes compared to a sphere, and that is our usual frame of reference.

[–] comrade19@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We have a pee hole and a poo hole and a mouth hole and a nose hole do really we've got a few holes going on there

[–] CovfefeKills@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

We have a massive amount of holes in our bodies. Those are just the most major holes. It comes down to what you consider a hole. Is a mouth a hole okay but what about small pours that open and close? Tear ducts would be in the definitely hole category you never think of those.

Oh god we're just flesh sieves

Sometimes I tell my girlfriend I'm going to use every hole she has, then try to stick it up her nose. Now I realize I can get way more creative.

Vsauce, Michael here.

How about the digestive system? I'm pretty sure the stomach forms a break

There's valves before and after the stomach yeah. Are we donuts when those are open or jelly donuts when they're closed? When am I a cruller or cronut?
