A topologist does not smile. A topologist wonders why the basic example from his introduction is shoveled into his face for no reason
It’s the same shape, just reshaped
genius!
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.
The ocean is the same as the Hadron Super-Collider, just reshaped.
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.
No you mean not niche
Are there any recent breakthroughs in topology I should be aware of?
I heard they found a new type of hole.
Other than black or ass?
Q:
Bagel or Donut?Topologist:
<doesn’t understand the question>This is exactly why my local Dunkin Donuts stopped serving topologists.
Same! Now they serve coffee and donuts instead.
Ha, if you can even call them that!
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.
We also have a bunch of doors on the holes.
So… you’re saying we’re houses.
That’s Dr. House to you, dear fellow lemming.
…topologically. Geometrically, I’m more of a saggy tent myself
“BEHOLD. A MAN!”
Go home, Diogenes!
Ugh such a good video. Cya in 20 minutes
There’s a vsauce video about this
Anybody ever think about how donuts are just very oddly shaped humans?
HEY EVERYONE! This guys a nerd! Throw rocks at his face!
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:
I could fuck that coffee cup.
I believe you
I take my coffee black-hole seriously.
A black hole isn’t a hole.
Or is it? We don’t know what’s going on inside the singularity, it might as well actually be a hole in spacetime.
If it’s in space sure, but what if it’s on a person.
You could say the same thing about a bullet but a bullet isn’t a hole either.
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.
Just enjoy the meme you fuckin nerd.
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.
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
I see no coffee here.
I’m 50 and this is deep
The Animorphs book covers are getting weird…
Stay too long as a coffee cup and you’ll remain a donut forever!
nooo!
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?
Only if you are a very good ologist
Career progression is from midologist.
you can be a mathematics professor who specializes in topology, but that’s probably about as close as it gets from what i know
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.
Let me know so I can hand them my Blender models I’m too lazy to RE-topologize. Ugh! Lol
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!
Who’s out here deep frying crepes? American county/state fair vendors?
Well, they are now.
