        Probably not everyone’s, but I’d be willing to bet that the total number of exceptions to the rule either greater or fewer than pretty nearly cancel each other out, on average.

        I would argue that being part of a centipede doesn’t reduce the number of holes, it just creates a more scenic route to the outside.

      a vagina alone has 6, so this is hardly accurate.

        No, in topology those are pretty much just indents (I.E irrelevant)

        For a hole to be considered a hole, it has to go through an object.

          see, this is why everyone hates topology and their silly yet weirdly true rules.

          Booooo. We all know what a hole is, don’t bring topology into this. I’ll give you a plate for your drinks at my house if you pull this silliness.

            Wait, do you consider cups to be portable holes for liquids?

              If you don’t see the difference between a cup and a plate because they’re the same topologically then I’m gonna use them interchangeably around you.

                Of course they are different. But they aren’t holes lol.

                  I’m not going to stand for this hole trutherism. If you take a shovel and dig, you have made a hole. We have called that a hole forever. Usage dictates meaning.

          Wait… do holes that meet up with other holes count as separate holes? The nostrils meet up with the mouth hole but then combined they go through to the anus. Do those count as three distinct holes, since looking at each of them individually they would count as a hole? Or would there be one hole with… four openings?

          ETA: I have more questions. Do all the openings need to be open to still be considered a hole? Is it only a hole if all my sphincters are open and my mouth is open? If I’m getting choked but my mouth is open and I’m trying to breathe, does my mouth to nostrils count as a hole themselves? Do my nostrils automatically count as a hole as long as one or both isn’t stuffed up?

            Yep, they are considered separate holes. So for example. “Mouth to the ass” is one hole and the two nostrils add two holes to the total.

            I don’t think it really matters how big the hole is so as long as the opening isn’t fused maybe it still counts as a hole. But really, I think whenever your mouth is open or not is out of scope for topology.

      I’m really curious how you got that number? I guess eye sockets aren’t counted, as topologically with how many of the tubes connect, it’s probably something weird.

    So… Mouth, nose… Does nose count as one or two? And the ears… Wait, thats already too many. How does she have only three?

          Aww, too bad. I actually generally try not to tease about typos, I’ve made plenty myself, but occasionally I can’t resist. Decent chance there’s one in this comment and, just for fun, I’m not even going to proofread!

          Thanks for being a good sport about it. For any future readers, the unedited post said “moth” instead of “mouth.”

          Hope that, whatever part of your day it is, it’s a good one.

    That is an unusually low number, but I’m certain we can work something out.
