It’s asking about the coffee not the coffee cup.
If your coffee has a hole in it that’s weird.
I take my coffee black-hole seriously.
A black hole isn’t a hole.
If it's in space sure, but what if it's on a person.
Or is it? We don't know what's going on inside the singularity, it might as well actually be a hole in spacetime.
Ah but you see, coffee in this mug would have a hole in it:
I could fuck that coffee cup.
I believe you
This looks like hell to clean
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.
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.
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.
We also have a bunch of doors on the holes.
So... you're saying we're houses.
...topologically. Geometrically, I'm more of a saggy tent myself
"BEHOLD. A MAN!"
Go home, Diogenes!
It's the same shape, just reshaped
genius!
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.
The ocean is the same as the Hadron Super-Collider, just reshaped.
Who the hell is asking coffee or a donut?
Ya, give me both please.
Well, for one, that's a coffee mug, not coffee. But I suppose coffee can also be in all of these shapes.
They better all weigh the same.
The Animorphs book covers are getting weird…
Stay too long as a coffee cup and you'll remain a donut forever!
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!
The Everything Everywhere All at Once sequel got weird.
because the original was a parade of normality?
I see no coffee here.
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!
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?
you can be a mathematics professor who specializes in topology, but that's probably about as close as it gets from what i know
Only if you are a very good ologist
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.
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.
Okay, so eat the fucking coffee cup. I'll wait.
Reminds me a bit of the evolution of the eye
What the hell is that handle on the mug. You can maybe fit one finger in that thing!
Hmmmm, 7 donuts
Meanwhile, physicists: "Matter is basically just empty space and tiny particles moving very fast, a hole is just even emptier space"
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
