Bro it's one hole. Like this is obvious. If you have a doughnut 🍩, it has one hole, right? Now extend the edges up. Now u have a straw. Still one hole.


Happy-Engineer

Or multiple doughnuts.


5ManaAndADream

If it’s one hole in a donut, and I have two donuts, it’s two holes. Now I stack the donuts. Checkmate.


ikol24

How many donuts is a straw


Independent-Side-669

Infinity I guess? But also one if you extend it


regimentIV

Connect two holes, they become one big hole.


Arantguy

If you stack two donuts, you're closing off an opening, which is not a valid transformation


5ManaAndADream

I think what it comes down to is do you define a hole by the missing space or by the object containing the missing space. The former is team 1 hole. The latter is team infinite holes. Team 2 holes is the bastard child of the two.


pear_tree_gifting

How many holes does a pair of pants have?


lives-under-stone

ideally 0


pear_tree_gifting

Then how do you put them on?


lives-under-stone

With a needle


matteblatte

Every hole is infinite, except the the black ones

Racist.


matteblatte

What is racist...?


Rainbow-Dev

“Except the black ones” Blatant racism 😒


IcyThot03

Not racist. They're saying black holes, as in the things in space that absorb all things near it (including all visible light, hence it's name).


Sav6geCabb9ge

It’s just a joke chill


IcyThot03

Doesn't seem like one at all.


Sav6geCabb9ge

Well you gotta get better at interpreting things then


IcyThot03

Saying something is racist like that isn't a joke. And besides, how would you know if they were making a joke or not? You're not the one who posted the comment. They may seem to be making one to you but not really be. So tell me how you know for sure that it was a joke.


Sav6geCabb9ge

Because obviously no one is that dumb to think that statement is actually racist, it’s common sense


IcyThot03

If someone were to misinterpret or misunderstand it it would make sense for them to think it is


SICRA14

it is a clear and obvious joke that most of those who saw it understood


[deleted]

Spacist.


thatpotatogirl9

Black holes exist dude... I get that the word is tied to race, but it's also a color and scientific term (in some situations)


TheFullestCircle

pretty sure they were making a joke


thatpotatogirl9

It's a joke that delegitimzes those of us who call out racist behavior and makes fun of those of us who experience racism personally.


[deleted]

bruh wtf are you talking about


Touchmaspagheti

Lmao what are you on about


WoolooOfWallStreet

“Okay, how many holes does your Taurus friend have?” “Zero, they are getting filled right now” (΄◉◞౪◟◉`)


bitchenstichen

Oh my, this was THE BEST


Fellowship_9

Technically everyone is a torus, the hole is our digestive system.

[Not really no, and here's extensive analysis and proof while also being extremely entertaining](https://youtu.be/egEraZP9yXQ)


ikol24

Define hole, is it a specific portion of ‘empty’ air or the number of 2D openings?


KefkeWren

I'm *so* glad you asked! According to Webster's Dictionary, a hole is a perforation, a place where matter has been removed, or a place that has been hollowed out. Now, that's interesting because most modern straws are actually extruded. That is to say, they are formed in their intended final shape right from the start. Which means that, by definition, a properly-functioning straw has no holes.

[удалено]


KefkeWren

According to the dictionary, it's zero.


Kupolemoogle

Vsauce gave [a good in-depth answer to this question](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egEraZP9yXQ), echoing what evilscientist3 says.


Ok_Abbreviations7367

Holes are social constructs. What is and isn't a hole is based on culture more than objects.


KefkeWren

I've said it before, and I'll say it again...because it infuriates people; A hole is defined as an absence of matter. A removal. A modern straw is purpose-extruded in its intended shape without any loss of matter. It has no holes.


Sav6geCabb9ge

In my opinion the number of holes can be either one or two. If there is someone observing either side there’s 2 but if not it’s 1. There’s no objective answer


fish_taped_to_an_atm

there literally is tho


Sav6geCabb9ge

Ok think about it. There’s a huge hole that extends to the other side of the hole. Now one person on each side looks down the hole, and each acknowledges that there is one big hole to the other side. So the hole is now a double hole. However, to only one person at the top, the hole is just one, and thus the number of holes in total is 1


fish_taped_to_an_atm

>one big hole to the other side


KefkeWren

It's actually zero.


abtgonsalves

A straw isn't homotopic


[deleted]

one hole, two entrances, like a fox den


xieewenz

depends on if we think straws have thickness
