If a Klein bottle could wear pants, would it be like this or like this?

@rocketsoup Searched 'Klein bottle'. Another useless knowledge item to clutter my diminishing brain. Best part about the search is that a company named Acme makes glass Klein bottles.

Didn't know the thing about the KGB hacker. Do you recommend any article or video I could read/watch to learn more about this? If not I'll just take the first hit on <search engine>, works as well.

@cafeinux @LovingFalloutLondon1954 @rocketsoup I don't remember where I heard about it, probably some YouTube video. People say his book about it (The Cuckoo's Egg) is a good read. Haven't read it myself.

@LovingFalloutLondon1954 @rocketsoup When I read this, i felt like the geochemists in the XKCD cartoon (https://xkcd.com/2501). Surely everyone must know about Klein Bottles! 🙂

whatever the style and shape of the pants, they should be Klein blue, as in International Klein Blue (IKB), (by Yves Klein).

@rocketsoup Shouldn't it be a sockhat? Something to be worn on the foothead and protect its facebutt.

Sorry, but if the jeans have cuffs, I stopped doing that in the 50's... no clothed Klein bottles should ever be stuck in fashion hell unless there's a remake of Grease.

@rocketsoup depends upon its gender?

@quoidian @rocketsoup Definitely doesn't depend on it's orientation, tho!

@rocketsoup Surely both are wrong? No part of the bottle would show the inside of the pants, both the big bulb and the small tube would be the outside of the pants. Or the inside.

Or maybe Steve Mould and Matt Parker did some stuff here.

Matt is totally into Klein Bottles and topology in general. He may or may not be good at responding to direct questions, however.
