      Shape has little to do with mass. Unless you want it to be so.

    It’s the same shape, just reshaped

    A topologist does not smile. A topologist wonders why the basic example from his introduction is shoveled into his face for no reason

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

    Silly topologist.

    Coffee is a liquid, it can adjust to any shape.

      You must be shapeless, formless, like coffee. When you pour coffee in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour coffee in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour coffee in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Coffee can flow and it can crash. Become like coffee my friend.

    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.

    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
    • Xenny@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

    • kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      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)

      source
      • i_love_FFT@jlai.lu ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Considérons that our lungs and intestines are porous on a molecular scale… And also our sweat pores… Plus are blood vessels (connected to previously mentioned holes)…

        Humans have a changing topology depending on the size scale at which you’re working.

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