At work we somehow landed on the topic of how many holes a human has, which then evolved into a heated discussion on the classic question of how many holes does a straw have.

I think it's two, but some people are convinced that it's one, which I just don't understand. What are your thoughts?

Zero holes, one channel.

Omg... What are holes? My brain is melting.

[–] Th4tGuyII@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

One hole. Both "holes" in the straw lead to one another, ergo they're the same hole, ergo a straw only has one long hole

[–] Bender_B_Rodriguez@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

A hole.

A straw has a hole. 😂

If we define 'hole' as vacancy (so the absence of meterial where it is supposed to be), then 0 as a straw is sopposed to be not copletely filled.

What about a tank that has one input and one output hole, technically much like a straw? This is why I call the edges of a straw a hole, so straw has two holes.

Or, what about drinking straws with more than one succy pipe?
