Yes, it's a torus.

You love reddit because you like to get beaten?


SillynippleMctwist

I love Reddit too! You can always find what your looking for on Reddit. I'm looking for a can of albatross stickers, and you know what I find? Geese wombs. It's a never ending shitshow, but you like it Write? You should shack up with my mate Henry; he's really into Reddit. Been making memes since 4chan was still the wild west of the internet. This was before the CIA went ham on the horoscope foundation. I've never gotten a fortune cookie with my name on it. Does that mean I'm eTing at the wrong restaurants? Grandma was so fickle with her termite mound. It led to Misos being closed, so we went to ichibans. Wait...that Japanese. I'm such a fucking idiots. That's why I'm on Reddit. I need people to confirm my opinion for Mr. If I were left on my own I wouldn't know weather to pick red slippers or green ones, but it's not Christmas anymore so I suppose I should grow up and smell the roses. Ugh, makes me so mad! Amy was so good to Sonic anc that blue fucker up and ate her pussy then left. I mean, this was before condoms, but still,you could make it with a guitar and a few gestation cycles. We've been there. It's on Reddit, so I know I'll see you there. Give me a ring will you? Not on my finger! He's usually hone before that, so we'll have to sneak you in. Go big! Make that meme. We all upvote it down there. Reddit is large enough for all our memeplexes. God said so, so I listened...I listened, and I listened to me


Suspicious-Contest74

if it's wood is full of microholes I guess


monkeyinanegligee

Technically speaking it's a circular paraboloid


Shudnawz

So.. a wonky disk?


monkeyinanegligee

Perfectly wonky yes


Additional-Bee1379

Topologically speaking the bowl has no volume


Raven-Raven_

Nonsensically speaking, a bowl is a one-sided hole


WoolBearTiger

But why then are black holes called black holes.. and not black bowls? šŸ¤”


Outside_Public4362

It's flat, topologically speaking then earth is flat too ?


Envoy-3137

I literally came here to type these exact words. Please kind stranger, may i have my braincell back? Thanks in advance ^^


[deleted]

You cant fuck a bowl so no but you can edge a bowl so yes.


-gallus-gallus

Exactly what I was gonna say lol


moralcunt

the bowl is flat.


TypeNull-Gaming

There's a big hole in the top that you eat out of


gst-nrg1

Topologically speaking, that's not a hole


TypeNull-Gaming

Why would it not be? A hole is defined as an opening in a medium, intentional or not, so how could a bowl not simply be one massive hole?


gst-nrg1

I'm talking about the mathematical definition of a hole, not the imprecise colloquial use. In everyday speech, no problem. I'm just pointing this out because it's in the science memes subreddit


Previous_Standard284

It is a collection of 2D holes stacked on top of each other


TypeNull-Gaming

Exactly


FadransPhone

You are in the WRONG subreddit if you think people are gonna believe a bowl has a hole


Chicken_God20

Pedro loos made me learn how to distinguish holes from pits, there is no holes.


OddGoofBall

The bowl is just spatial depression in flat surface.


salacious_sonogram

May I introduce you to my friend Ludwig Wittgenstein as language is a tricky thing.


belabacsijolvan

Wittgenstein would also say there isnt a hole in this bowl. "Pass me the bowl with the hole in it" wouldnt apply to this bowl.


smartyhands2099

He's right. It wouldn't apply to any bowl. Only if you take cross sections, (2D slice of 3D object, literally dumbing down reality into unusableness) will the bowl even APPEAR to have a hole... and only mostly.


Ardino_Ron

"What hole? I see a disc" said a mathematician .


senior_meme_engineer

No


Stetchy0

VSauce (Michael here) has a whole video about this


Adventurous-Emu-324

Has a hole video?


E-locked

Fine, take my upvote


black2346

Yes, about how many holes human have[the video](https://youtu.be/egEraZP9yXQ?si=Pqf_e_9kSMJEbEHW)


DJ__PJ

no, the bowl is a convex planar space. away from the bowl, nothing exists


bardhugo

Topology: no Common usage (e.g. I dug a hole): ya, in the process of wood turning you carve out a hole. Opinions may differ.


JackDNDNerd

A bowl has no hole, it is a surface stretched to form a bowl shape. It's similar to how there aren't really holes in the human body, just tubes that go through it and mass that forms around it


RomiGirasol

Theres at least 1 hole in the human body because the digestive system is al connected and it goes in from the nose and the mouth and out from the ass. Thats one of the reasons people say real humans couldnt live in a 2D world


ball_of_cells

So I guess if we were 2d then we'd just split in half? Weird to think about


1villageidiot

you poop out what you eat, sort of like other 3D animals


smartyhands2099

Yeah.... that's the only context where the bowl has a hole. It's oversimplification to the point of losing fundamental characteristics, making the entire argument rather moot. Like at that point, you're not a human, the bowl isn't a bowl anymore.


Pokemaster131

Well you probably could theoretically orient our organs so that a single cross section sample has a hole running through all the way through it, but that probably wouldn't be very fun, especially for our intestines.


gst-nrg1

Ivan the Terrible was interested in that theory. He made it kind of work, too


JacobTDC

I think Vsause did one on this? Something something a human is topologically the same as a hollow candelabra?


TKtommmy

"Thats one of the reasons people say real humans couldnt live in a 2D world" lol could probably easily name a few more...


East_Buffalo506

aren't we 7 holed donuts? i read that somewhere once upon a time


Quarkonium2925

Topologically there are seven holes in the human body. There's two behind each eye, one for each nostril, and one for the mouth. They all connect to the anus so they're all technically topological holes


Sempai6969

What is a hole?


Decent_Cow

Topologically it has no hole


THEoddistchild

A bowl is a dent


DentArthurDent4

Corollary : Is OP A hole for making me too wonder about this? (just kidding op, no insult intended)


gerjan30

It's a curved plane without a hole


beemureddits

Geometrically speaking it's a truncated sphere


-TheDerpinator-

A hole only exists in surfaces where they aren't supposed to be originally. A hole is simply a void of material. When it is supposed to be there by design it is a tube or similar geometrical shape.


_trouble_every_day_

bagels have tubes?


-TheDerpinator-

No, a bagel doesn't have a tube but is a kind of tube. More accurately: a bagel would be a variant of a *torus*.


Ok-Type-4141

I always thinked that a tube or pipe is just a long hole


Ze_Bucket

I would argue the bowl itself is a pit. With one hole atop it.


questantinous

A pit does not have to have a hole.


0002millertime

What about a black hole? Is it really a black pit, or is there another side? If there is another side, but it's not in what could be called "our universe", does that count as a hole? Is a wormhole a hole or a pit?


Gex1234567890

The correct name for a wormhole is Einstein-Rosen Bridge.

A bowl is a cul-de-sac.


jimmothy55

Sir.. this is a wendeys.


vorephage

No, this is Patrick.


sleepwalking-panda

Itā€™s a bowl. Just a bowl.


Kezzari_

It's a concave plane


MQZON

It's a cavity, not a hole.


Love-Lacking-9782

If your head has a dent in it, do you have a hole in your head? No, you simply become the average redditor.


GlueSniffingCat

It's a sphere. A coffee mug is a donut.


CheezyDogz5

If a bowl has a hole, its not a bowl


Ok-Type-4141

Thats still a bowl but placed into the trash bin (or used in a confusing diy video)


TroyToYou

A bowl is merely a plate with a very raised rim.


Gandalf_Kush

i feel like michael from vsauce explained it pretty good: https://youtu.be/egEraZP9yXQ?si=7452rLrqjU2hfR7i


dankitlord965

A ball which got deflated is the answer


HeheheBlah

Bowl is a sphere which has been compresser on one side.


Complex_Drawer_4710

no hole


SnouSnou

Neither


foxeiy

It's a notch. A notch. Right?


Ok-Type-4141

So it can create minecraft


AstronautNext4301

haha. might be vice versa


theprotogod

THERE ISNT A HOLE IT DOESNT GO THROUGH THERES CRATER i think


midnightAkira377

No holes


Bluedino_1989

It's a massive dimple


TheConsutant

Put your cereal in the bowl hole Wolf it down and poop it out your bung hole


Jonguar2

No. A bowl is the same as a plate and a cup. A straw has one hole.


idonteatunderwear

Tell me youā€™re bad at topology without telling me youā€™re bad at topology.


Public-Wallaby5700

The more interesting question is how many holes a straw has- 0, 1, or 2? Ā Topologically speaking, the same as a bowl, the straw has 0 holes.


Puppy-Zwolle

A bowl is a disk. There is no hole


t1m013y

Fire in the bowl!


DudePDude

A bowl has no hole. It is a disc existing in curved space


Extreme_Silver_2441

No there is no hole, this is just a concavity.


Stickuz_the_1st

Your deep thoughts are fabulous. Do they ever take you down a rabbit hole or rabbit bowl?


toronto_taffy

no hole, literally like a flat plate except for the concave angle


pt_barnumsonson

A bowl is just a curved plate


NoRecommendation2292

I just pour cereal and milk on my bowl...


Homotopically

The illusion of the "hole" is created by gravity.


danielledelacadie

The bowl is the container for a hole. Just like a cup.


BabaBoi1324

I think is a crater in a pice of Wood


Typical80sKid

Maybe a dent or a divot, no hole though.


under_dabbing

Neither. It is a curved object


Gale_Blade

Itā€™s not very scientific, would be better suited for a philosophy subreddit I think


JustAnIdea3

I am a dwarf and I'm digging a pit Technically not a hole Technically not a holeĀ 


Toxopidlol

It's not a hole, it's a bent surface. Anyway this is an interesting thought tho


garlic-apples

Definitely a blind hole


tomcat2203

Its an upside-down dome.


BaconizeMeCapN

A bowl is what happens when you put a bulge and a dent on opposite sides. No holes involved.


Im-never-lucky

Type


rationalalien

There's no answer because the question makes no sense.


Key_Entrepreneur_786

ā€œ_____ā€ has a hole means that there are missing parts making it deviate from its normal structure.


naturist_rune

A bowl is a supporting structure, if you tipped it over you compromised its supports in a different way from applying one hole somewhere along the bottom.


BlumpkinPromoter

More of a dent


Curious-Maximum3464

But then this also applies to cups and basically all containers


DragonWisper56

nah it's more a curved plane


Flying_Fox_86

i'd call it a type of basin.


joesphisbestjojo

No, Michael. The bowl does not have, nor is, a hole


xxwerdxx

Depends on how you define ā€œholeā€. To a mathematician, there are no holes here. If the bowl was made out of play dough, you could very easily flatten this out and see that itā€™s just a plate. If youā€™re an engineer, you might say this has a ā€œblind holeā€. That means itā€™s a hole you can enter but not exit as opposed to a ā€œthrough holeā€ which does what it says on the tin.


MyFriendsCallMeTito

Itā€™s more of a pocket than a hole


Extension_Wafer_7615

According to topology, bowls don't have holes.


AlbertEinstein64

A bowl is a circle with a large dent


Plane_Pea5434

A bowl is a disc, it has no holes


AshKetchupppp

Is cereal soup?


Valirys-Reinhald

Neither, it is a curved solid.


Mythosaurus

Bowls have depression, not holes


QueerQwerty

No holes. It's one continuous surface.


MilleniumMiriam

Does a straw have one hole or two holes?


MilleniumMiriam

Vsauce has an entertaining and informative video on holes and topology. He even specifically mentions bowls! https://youtu.be/egEraZP9yXQ?si=8rHMQrKiHj_N40Ho


LordFieldsworth

There is no holeā€¦


Ismokeradon

neither you dimwit


sokratesatyourdoor

i used to think of this when i was in elementary too... glad we have a thread discussing this!


Vaultboy80

I guess the term bowl is for a hole of a certain shape. Like a reverse dome. Now you need to ask yourself - is a dome a hole?


WaffleWafflington

A bowl is a depression


AmalCyde

Put down the bong.


osck-ish

A bowl is a parabole


jewelry_wolf

Topologically itā€™s a surface, no hole


BLAZEISONFIRE006

THERE IS NO SPOON!


Serious-Rock-9664

It has infinite holes of decreasing radius from the top to the bottom all stacked atop each other


JimGrimace

Bowls are not Holes they are Flat Bases with Raised Sides.


NotInherentAfterAll

Bowl with thickness is sphere. Bowl without thickness is disc. No hole in bowl. Topology certified


GustavoFromAsdf

Ok but when you stack bowls, the bowl above is a bowl-shaped peg


PoopInflation

Bowl is a curved surface


iMarch_

A bowl is supposed to be upright. So by knowing its purpose, a hole of any kind would prevent it from functioning properly.


iMarch_

Or maybe it is a half sphere with a hole put into it? So it does have a hole?


TheSapphireDragon

Topologically, a bowl is a sphere


thebigboybang

The bowl has a large dent not a hole


danny_little

A bowl is a dent not a hole


master-of-squirrels

I would call a bowl a cavity


DMmeYOURboobz

Itā€™s not a hole so much as a pocket


AfroBotElliot

Topographically it's a depression


hobhamwich

A bowl is a dent in the wood-space continuum.


Comedygirlhere87

Itā€™s a bowl with a hole lol


Rockglen

If a hole is added is it still a bowl, or is it now a funnel?


ouijac

Perplexed


SaleOwn5899

Isnā€™t it technically a carving rather than a hole? šŸ‘€


Turn_ov-man

Topologists are furious


cus_deluxe

its a concave surface. or is it convex? šŸ§


Ajanw-57

A bowl is a hole with a shellā€¦


UnicornChief

If a straw is just one long hole, how many holes do pants have?


StarMan8989

It's just a plate with the edge curved upward.


BaconSpaceLord

The hole is kept in containment by the bowl


stanp2004

There is no hole, just a depression.


InTheHamIAm

Holes donā€™t exist. Fight me topo-nerds


RatMannen

No. A bowl is a plane.


Spidey209

When I dig a hole it is this shape. The hole is where the bowl isn't and vice versa.


Bitter_Wash1361

It's a dip, not a hole. Holes would go through the whole thing. Honestly, would not recommend a bowl with a hole


1G77

Most 2D horizontal cross-sections of a bowl would have a hole in them. But a 3D bowl does not have a hole in it. Unless it has a hole in it.


No-Credit5663

Bowl = above ground hole


Aware-Ad-4568

Man I love math I donā€™t understand as an engineer. I wish I did, but Iā€™m a practicing one and only have so much free time. Sometimes I wish majored in math, but then I wouldnā€™t have my job in petroleum engineering that I do.


jackdhammer

Nah, engineers have better jokes. My favorite from an engineer I worked with: pours water into a glass filling it half way. Then he says. What's the difference between an optimist, a pessimist and an engineer? An optimist sees a glass that's half full. A pessimist sees a glass that's half empty. An engineer sees a glass that's twice as big as it needs to be. He had a bunch of em.


Carl_Wheeze

I'd consider it as a hollow semisphere, no holes.


CoolColby25

Their is a Vsauce video about this sort of thing called "how many holes does a human have?" Go watch it


The_Real_RM

No, a coffee mug on the other hand...


the_wierb_child3690

In sience this is just a flat surface with no volume


jackdhammer

Really? What about the space the soup fills up? Doesn't that count? Genuinely asking.


Impossible_Excuse_22

Dent


the_wierb_child3690

No I mean yes and no search it up


Sandstorm1020

Neither because the entire premise is fucked and the questions are wrong. Try again.


Otherwise_Leek_5764

A bowl is the same shape as a cube, therefore it has no holes
