    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

        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

          The problem is the nostrils.if it was just an indentation into the lungs, it’s one hole: digestive tract.

          The nostrils divide the breathing passage into two, then join up again. From the air to the lungs is an indentation, but does the tissue separating the nostrils create two separate complete topographic holes?

          Same for the ears; where do they join in on this system? Idfk, I’m not a doctor or a topologist

            Ah, you got me on the nostrils. Alright…

            My point was that the discussion is silly/ absurd/ meaningless. Yet here I am… Caught in it.

            So… Ears. Those have a membrane (so the air pressure inside transmits the sound to small bones)… I was considering that given a (healthy) membrane the hole is just a cavity. Bt then, the other side does have air. No idea how does it go in and out. But scuba or free divers do compensate the pressure on the other side of the membrane when descending… So the air in there goes in and out of the body in seconds. Might be connected to… Nostrils? Haha. My best guesstimate.

            Fuck this game xD
