Sort-of memes that are cracking you up at the moment

Good point. So a pant has either one hole which is bifurcated or two holes which combine into one?

@Paralucent that’s interesting.

How many holes does a drinking straw have then?

One.

Take a ping pong ball, cut a hole on one side and then another on the other side, soften it with heat and manipulate enough and you'll have a drinking straw.

Plus two small discs you can show to passing theoretical topologists to prove you made two real-world holes.
