Try holding an entire mug of coffee with a donut
Who the hell is asking coffee or a donut?
when someone at work is making a coffee run and can only afford one thing per person
Ya, give me both please.
It's the same shape, just reshaped
genius!
Reminds me a bit of the evolution of the eye
They better all weigh the same.
Shape has little to do with mass. Unless you want it to be so.
Meanwhile, physicists: "Matter is basically just empty space and tiny particles moving very fast, a hole is just even emptier space"
Well, for one, that's a coffee mug, not coffee. But I suppose coffee can also be in all of these shapes.
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:
That's one of those fun things until you have to clean it.
This looks like hell to clean
I could fuck that coffee cup.
Hmm, nice and warm
I believe you
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.
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.
I mean that is true of basically all structures and materials. It's just the coastline problem. How long is the coastline? Depends on the level of precision you apply and the exact time you measure. Theoretically it is infinite if you keep getting more and more granular with it. That's not helpful or meaningful for general purposes though.
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.
I’m 50 and this is deep
This is exactly why my local Dunkin Donuts stopped serving topologists.
I see no coffee here.
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.
