[Highlight] Patriots players passionately debate whether a straw has one or two holes

How about you go watch some tapes and learn how to score points or play defense?
This is the kind of high level, critical thinking I like to see boys! Go Pats!
I really hoped Dunkin chose this question because the lay-man’s explanation of the topology is that a straw can be continuously deformed into a donut, which is the property of things with one hole.
A straw is a tube. The holes are not a part of the straw. The holes are where the straw is not; therefore, a straw has zero holes.
I would argue that it’s not a hole at all. It’s a hollow cylinder. A hole would be something you drilled into, say, a wooden plank.
Hot take: To me, a hole is an absence of matter within a body you would otherwise reasonably expect to have matter. A straw is intrinsically an object with an absence of matter, and therefore it has 0 holes. For example, if some asshole walked up to you and stuck a pin into the side of your straw, you would say “damn it, my straw has a hole in it”, not “my straw has a second/third hole in it”.
So I’m past this simple argument constantly held by simple people. My next meditation is on whether or not a straw *itself* is a hole. If I ever start smoking weed again, I’ll let you guys know.
They earned those college scholarships I see
Should be running routes not this garbage
Damn, we’re never gonna win.
This is fucking hilarious

is efton wearing number 6 now? am i just really late to this knowledge?
It either has one hole or an infinite number of holes.

Hopefully their football IQ is better
Critical thinkin’ skills promoted in the lawkahrum. LFG 💪
And this is why you lose to the Raiders…
“Two ends, one hole”. BANG. There’s the answer. Perfectly placed clip.
