Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.



Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeomorphism

Vaginas, milk ducts, pores, etc in a topological sense, are not holes, just dents, like the recepticle part of a cup with a handle.

I mentioned noses and ears before deleting them, because the ENT region is really complicated for a non topologist/biologist to be able to tell if they can be interpreted as holes or not. Luckily for me in this discussion the system is identical for men and women.

Looks like I need to complexify the manifolds of my own brain, haha!
