An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. First guy orders a beer. Every other guy orders half the amount of beer as the guy before him. The bartender, fed up, says just order two beers!

Such a missed opportunity.

"The Whore Of Mensa" A private eye goes up against a escort service that provides lonely men with intellectual conversations.

Are you just gonna sit there like an undergrad and clumsily perform a naive mapping of my topological space, or are you gonna use your brain a bit, and exhaustively define a continuous homeomorphic equation to radically transform me into whatever shape you want?
If you can make the key, you can unlock me, and then I can map to whatever you want me to be >:D
Full-frontal or full-dorsal nudity, but never both.
One surface, one edge, one gender
Different numbers of holes though, gotta take homeomorphism into account.
I don't think women have a different number holes topographically speaking.
The topologist can't tell his coffee cup from his doughnut.
Generally, biologically speaking:
Men have a urethra and an anus.
Women have a urethra, and anus, and a vagina.
Presumably, discounting mutations, birth defects, serious injuries, etc, most people have the same number of uh... head/face holes.
...
Allowing for rarer cases:
Also... intersex people exist... there have been at least a few recorded instances of duplicate and/or forking dongs...
And I guess we could also consider varying kinds of conjoined twins.
...
Also also, we could argue about whether milk producing mammaries constitute a topological 'hole'.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeomorphism
Vaginas, milk ducts, pores, etc in a topological sense, are not holes, just dents, like the recepticle part of a cup with a handle.
I mentioned noses and ears before deleting them, because the ENT region is really complicated for a non topologist/biologist to be able to tell if they can be interpreted as holes or not. Luckily for me in this discussion the system is identical for men and women.
Derp.
Looks like I need to complexify the manifolds of my own brain, haha!
I think their point was that the hole has to go all the way though for it to count topologically
The vagina ends at the uterus, and milk ducts don't go all the way through either
100% correct, thank you.
Urethra doesn't go anywhere either except for bladder, then nephrons (kidneys)...
Something similar applies to ears, right? And nose... But,
Also, what about the pores in my skin? :O
YOURE A MORPHISM
Bro why you trippin'?
All my homies be constantly morphin' into better, more flexible and robust versions of themselves.
You have posted so many of my favourite memes on Lemmy. Absolutely top tier shitposting 😭
I had to look through their profile after you said that and GOD DAMN, they posted the ones I found most memorable!
We don't deserve you!
Or just one?
or rather, a half a one.
Disappointing, I expected nude Microsoft programmers.
