    Topology is one of those sciences that is hyper-niche to the point that it seems like it would have very limited scope, but when you take a closer look it’s actually studying something fundamental.

    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)

    It’s asking about the coffee not the coffee cup.

    If your coffee has a hole in it that’s weird.

      Ah but you see, coffee in this mug would have a hole in it: Image

        I can't enjoy it if it's obviously based on lies.

        Plus look at that fucking coffee cup handle and tell me you like it, I dare you.

      I had a very cool class in research epistemology and the exercise was basically to answer the question, do liquids have a shape and if yes, which is it? How would you prove it?

      It was the source of the most deranged but valuable discussion I’ve ever had.

      I take my coffee black-hole seriously.

      • SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        A black hole isn’t a hole.

      If the “thread” width is around the size of an electron, then the coffee (liquid) has basically infinite hole.

      The same applies to the cup, our hands and so on

    This is exactly why my local Dunkin Donuts stopped serving topologists.

      Same! Now they serve coffee and donuts instead.

    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 donuts and make them bigger. 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?

    source
    • affiliate@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

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

      source
    • schnokobaer@feddit.org ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Only if you are a very good ologist

    • Xenny@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      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.
