    Anybody ever think about how humans are just very oddly shaped donuts?

      That’s not entirely true. We don’t have just one hole going through us. Our holes branch. We have 3 intakes (2 nostrils, 1 mouth) and 2 outputs (1 anus, 1 urethra). If you simplified us down topographically, it’d be like you formed a donut around a starfish with the arms sticking out and then you just deleted the starfish.

        Starfish are not a good example. They have no holes. Their mouth is their anus.

          So starfish are closer to a doughnut than humans.

            Yes, they are one hole away from a donut. If you include things like nostrils, ears and tear ducts then the internet says we have 7 holes.

    Well, for one, that’s a coffee mug, not coffee. But I suppose coffee can also be in all of these shapes.

    I’d eat a coffee mug shaped donut, but a waffle would hold up better. An elephant ear is fine as well, but a crepe is right out.

      What about a beavers tail?

      If the answer is yes, please come visit Canada and enjoy one with cinnamon and lemon (the best flavour) in Ottawa while skating on our gorgeous canal!

        I always wondered what it would look like if you took Eastern European savory donuts and made them bigger and flatter. They look delicious!

    Is “topologist” a job? Like someone who specializes in telling you how many holes and knots exist in a given object, How to “untie” seemingly knotted things that actually topographically have no knots? Do you clock in for that, or is it a 1099 freelancer thing?

      3D artists can specialize in topology where they make sure to clean up the models that other artists sculpt to optimize them for animation and performance. Depending on the use case you need different approaches to a models topology and it can get very complex actually. So yeah, it is people’s entire jobs to do this and they probably get paid more than us.

      you can be a mathematics professor who specializes in topology, but that’s probably about as close as it gets from what i know
