I feel like LadyButterfly’s how are you feeling on a scale of medieval dog painting was used here.

This is incredibly important to black hole astrophysics. Don’t ask why

Amuse me, why?

I think a dog’s nose has two separate nostrils that connect somewhere along the way on the inside. That’s not a sphere. It’s a torus.
Show threadMouselemmingFeb 27
Given it also has a mouth-to-anus tube, is there a name for a double torus? Genus-2 torus I guess
Show threadplenipotentprotogodFeb 27

Topologically a dog is a sphere (assuming it keeps its mouth shut…

Next time I want someone to stop talking, they’re going to be very confused when I tell them to “become topilogically spherical.”

Show threadTeddEFeb 27
I checked your topological sign and you’re such a torus.

I’m now imagining a barking spherical dog which somebody then kicks and it bounces around the room like a football
Show threadisame [he/him]Feb 28
It’s only a sphere if it keeps its mouth shut, apparently.

The fabled spherical cow dog in a vacuum!

But dogs are afraid of vacuums
Show threadMothraFeb 28
Such a cliffhanger. So, is it possible to comb all the hairs in such a way, or is the parting impossible to remove?
Show threadaffiliateFeb 28
It’s Impossible to remove the parting in even dimensional spheres (such as dogs), but possible to remove it in odd dimensional spheres (such as 2d dogs)
Show threadakesi_JataFeb 28
First they sphere the cows, now the dogs too?! These topologists have to stop before they turn us into spheres too

All it takes is for them to shut your mouth.

OK, whoever downvoted me knows nothing about topology.
