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.
It’s ok, the people who tell you that weren’t invited to any of the parties either.
That’s right you’re not let me help:

A straw has 1 hole that goes all the way through.
The disk has two holes separated by a lesser distance
Not if it’s 2D
Holes are arguably 0D.
Idk if you can measure what area a hole takes up it has dimensions doesn’t it?
I’m being tongue in cheek of course and this is more a matter of philosophy and ontology than math and physics, but one could claim that the hole itself does not exist, it is the absence of matter, so what you are measuring is not the hole but rather the distance between any two points of matter. Otherwise one could point to nothing and claim that it is a hole of any size (like pointing to the sky and simply defining some part of it a hole of a certain size- it would effectively be a meaningless proposition in some sense).
But again, it is truly just silly semantics. :)
But can you measure something that doesn’t exist? Can the absence of something be something in and of itself? Is it the hole you are measuring, or the object around the hole?

No but a void exists as defined by the matter around it
Yes we just did this
Both
Philosophy is easy
Sure but THIS hole isn’t 2D because it’s a compressed 3d object.
So do you
This is Crohn’s erasure.
No I got more. My anatomy is special
So, infinite holes. Just like a line has infinite points. And, a longer straw has a bigger infinite number of holes.
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.
The Ödipus hole
This, too, is a great bandname.
Tell that to my wife

So oral and anal are fucking the same hole and pussy is not a real hole.
The pussy’s more of a pit than a hole.
But yes, anal and oral are the same hole.
Vaginal canal -> cervix -> uterus -> oviducts ->abdominal cavity
I’d say the pussy is a hole.
Yes, but that’s not all, I claim that ALL anal and oral holes are the same hole.
I could agree with you, but first we’d need a species wide human centipede.
I can tell you haven’t watch the hole documentary starring Rainier Wolfcastle
I like to think that all our holes are connected in a way
Not like a human centipede though
Theres just one thing, and one way to look a the thing, which is the thing itself.
Das Ding an sich!
Two people kissing make a single continous tube going from one anus to the other
Great now I need a new folder.
hehe kinky
Who the fuck thinks that a straw has 2 holes?
How many holes do you got @NachBarcelona@piefed.social?
I think topologically I have only those:
- Mouth to ass (oh yeah)
- Left nostril
- Right nostril
- Left Eustachian tube
- Right Eustachian tube
- Right tear duct
- Left tear duct
No piercings or anything, so that’s it.
Nostrils and mouth are connected, topologically you could therefore have ass to left nostril with the mouth being an own opening!
That said I really really hope you forgot your uthera at least. Which is a curious question back to the subject: is it a topological hole if the opening is only to the insides of the corpus? (Thinking about the reproductive parts of either sex specifically).
I think topologically they don’t count, that’s why I didn’t count the urether/urethra.
is the ok symbol 👌 a hole?
what about membranes, pores?
The ok symbol is rather temporary but topologically that would count. I wouldn’t count pores or membranes here (I mean by my arbitrary definition).
Skin pores.
I didnt include them for the same reason I didn’t include the ears or the urinairy tract (they’re not “holes” as in tunnels, topologically speaking), but if your definition differs from mine then you’re right.
They go all the way thru the skin, but not all the way thru the body, so I guess you’re right.
Plus a hole for peeing i hope
Peeings over rated
That’s topologically not a hole, your bladder like you lung is on the outside/surface.

you are forgetting the oropharynx. nasal area to the throat.
That’s included in both nostrils (they both end up there).
A straw has one hole that is open to two entrances. Like a single tunnel. We never say that a tunnel has two holes.
I got a T shaped cat tunnel. It’s got two holes. I think. Topology can go suck a lemon
Still one hole unless there’s isolated sections
Which is why I said SINGLE tunnel.
A tunnel has two holes.
We mustn’t say that. It is forbidden.
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?
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.
Topologically, people are toroids.
A straw has 1 hole with two ends… this is dumb
Vsauce, Michael here.
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.
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.
Except maybe to illustrate the necessity of various disciplines, as this is a maths problem and not a linguistics one.
Arguing the linguistics of this is like arguing over astrology.
But saying that to make a hole in a sphere, you need to make two holes in the sphere is funny.
Very good observation. Now what about a hollow sphere?
All spheres are hollow (mathematically)
is x²+y²+z²<=r² not considered a sphere then?
Nope. That’s a ball. A closed ball to be precise. “Sphere” refers specifically to the “=” part.
Fields dont need to be that isolated. In the end its arbitrary, so why not accept arguments of all perspectives?
In germany we say alles hat ein Ende nur die Wurst hat zwei
So, I kinda just woke up from a nap and my still confused mind thought the meme said the straw had four holes.
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.
Got it, a CD has 2 holes as well.
What the heck is a CD?

Technically, the digestive system (i.e., the full gastro intestinal tract) is considered as part of the “outside” of the body, acting as an external surface similar to the skin. The space that an object can travel through without crossing a cell membrane or entering blood or tissue is called “lumen”. So the same intuition as in the meme actually holds true here, too.
