You can't trust topologists.
- fwlr 4y agoYou know the joke about how when you kiss someone, you’re temporarily forming a long tube with an anus at each end? A topologist friend heard that joke and immediately offered a conjecture that that shape is topologically equivalent to the shape you’d get if you connect a mouth to an anus. This got the party discussing if there exists a homeomorphism between making out and eating ass. I agree, you really can’t trust topologists.
- krsrhe 4y agoIt doesn’t exist, because there is no homeomorphism that takes a distance of 0 to non 0, so you can’t change the connections.

- OscarCunningham 4y agoI think humans probably have a variety of tubes at various sizes that complicate the analysis.

- krsrhe 4y agoCan you share an illustration?
- dmr_92 4y agoI got sniped by this. Normal jeans are homotopic to a cylinder with a point removed. Leg-sewn jeans are homotopic to a torus with a point removed. Both of these can be deformation retracted to a wedge of two circles (roughly: widen the puncture as far as you can). I miss topology.
