If you're ever found yourself in a Reddit rabbit hole, you'll understand why we felt the need to share this ridiculous thread debating the fundamental holey-ness of straws. A year ago, atticusmars_1 posed this very important question: Does a straw have one or two holes, and why? Fifty-five stress-inducing comments ensued and here are some of the top highlights from both sides:Team One Hole"One cause theres nothing in between""One hole, 2 entrances""It has one hole, because it's topologically equivalent to a doughnut and a coffee cup (and some would say a human, though we're arguably more of a genus-5).""One hole, it's topologically alike to a donut. And, fun fact: a human. One entrance, one exit.""Just one. A hole needs two ends to be a hole...""It has one. Imagine trying to make it have fewer; If you plugged the hole it would have none."Team Two(+) Holes"Two holes, one single column. Reasoning: If you're looking at the opening of a pipe, a very long pipe with the other end miles away, you are looking at a hole. The opening at the other end is part of the same system, but it's a distinct and unique hole. When you look at the hole in front of you, you are not looking at the same hole that is miles away. Two holes.""7.The nearest hole.The furthest hole.The top hole.The bottom hole.The left hole.The right hole.The center hole. That's 7. I know because I just got a straw and counted."Team Neither"An ideal straw has no holes. It is a pipe. If it had a hole, it would leak.""'Technically' a straw has one hole but 'technically' it does not. there is a reason we do not use rigorous math to define things outside the scope of academia.""Infinite. Just keep cutting it in half.""A straw is a tube""One whole with two exits"Does your head hurt yet? What side are you on?
