How many holes? (1 Viewer)

Is this a thing now?  I just saw something or other pop up on (I think) Facebook last night about holes in a straw.  Why has this captured people's attention?

 
A straw clearly has two holes, one on each end.  You could easily plug one of the holes at its narrowest point, and there would still be a hole in the other end of the straw.  

A washer has holes on either end.  Thread the bolt through one end and there's still a hole in the other end.  You could thread a bolt into either end and that's cool until the tips touch.  

A donut has one hole, because if you plug that hole at its narrowest point, there is no longer a hole on the "other end".  

The letter O is a two dimensional object.  If you plug the hole there isn't another end.  One hole.  

Cups, spoons and bowls are all, by definition, curved surfaces with a hole at the top where stuff can go in.  The shape of a spoon or cup could look like a bowl although a spoon typically has a handle and on cups and spoons they're more optional.

If you glue a rubber band to a piece of paper, you could fill it with some arts and crafts bull#### like glitter goo or whatever they use and it would stay in the rubber band because the bottom hole.was plugged. Like a straw or a washer, it's designed to be used so that something goes through one end and out the other, but just because it's short and fat doesn't change the fact it's got two functional holes. 

A loop on a knot most likely has three holes, because unlike the rubber band, it's not a fully closed loop.  If you used an impermeable material like a nylon balloon and put something through the balloon knot - like a piece of string - air would still slowly escape the balloon.

Some might say there’s even a hole in your argument.

Not to be too extreme, but there's a hole in my heart that can only be filled by you.

I'd say there are many holes in his argument...but it is obvious that people do not agree upon what constitutes a hole.

my corner bar in Reno in the 80s was called the Back Door Lounge because it became a place where one could abandon a bad date by the exit down the restroom hall. the owner got nervous when unwanted homosexuals started dropping in and held a contest to rename the place. My unsuccessful entry - "The Fourth Hole" - won the voice vote but was overridden

were you on Team Doors or Team Wheels?

:shrug:

imagine what we could change about the world if we could generate this level of interest, if we could magically direct it toward actual, real problems?

what could we do if we crowd sourced homelessness? oh, and we get to terf anyone who’s being a turd. only positivity allowed & actual problem solvers….turds can go back to looking at their phone or whatever shining object interests them.

what if trending started to mean we’re trying to eradicate hunger overnight - city by city, region by region, whatever.

whatever societal issue gets your juices flowing. what if instead of #####ing about the opiate pandemic we got really excited about helping each other with best practices for getting sober, staying clean, pain management, etc.

what would the world be like if the folks who are on divide media 15 hours a day are working on sustainable living bc it’s way more interesting?

yes, I am blast at parties, why do you ask?

yeah, fundamental nature of man. this would never work, eh. let’s go back to being cynical - I’ll write a TedTalk (or an under-read blog post.)
