How many positions are available?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago

It said so in the Help Wanted ad you placed.

Im pretty sure the human body has more than three holes

[–] nova_ad_vitum 18 points 6 days ago

Yeah but this is why we don't ask freaky-ass topologists to define humans.

We've got 7! Four in the eyes, two in the nose, and one digestive! The rest are just topological cavities. Oh and extras for every piercing you have.

Eyes?! Eyes are just cavities I think??

One digestive? Are you a jellyfish?

And a tube has how many openings?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

topologically speaking, one.

That’s just idiotic.

I hope this helps:

ChatGPT prompt: Explain a tube to a 3 year old

A tube is like a long, empty straw. It’s round and has holes at both ends. You can use it to drink or to let things go through it. Think of it this way: if you have a roll of toilet paper, the inside part is a tube. It’s just a round shape that is empty inside!

EDIT: Instead of the term opening the LLM uses the term hole colloquially here - just as a scholar of topology would to explain the concept of e.g. an annulus or torus to a student. This highlights that you shouldn't be anal about a "topological hole" while discussing openings. Actually - let's be real - common language terminology should always be applied first and foremost unless there is specific context.

oh wow if some fucking tech bro ripped an arbitrary jumble of words from internet samples, then it must be the end of the conversation!

god, you're so smart, AI is such a great learning tool, you don't even have to listen to anyone or understand anything, just get a prompt to throw some shit together and you win!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That awkward moment when you almost realize that a simple LLM easily outsmarts you.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

oh come off it, you didnt know about a term and you put so much pride into your "intelligence" that you cant acknowledge you didnt know about something so you just reject it as ridiculous. and seek any dubious measure like LLMs to find "proof". you're as bad as a conservative, learn to embrace new ideas. you drank the AI koolaid already, why is topology so hard? is it because there's no one saying it's wrong for you to be a contrarian to?

It goes all the way through so it is one pipe.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (2 children)

And a pipe has 2 openings otherwise it would be a cup, wouldn’t it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

A pipe has 1 hole, a cup has zero holes. A pipe is equivalent to a disc with a hole in the center since you can flatten it into that, a cup is equivalent to a disc with no hole because it can be flattened into that

*openings

Amazing, we went from how many openings the human body has to an anatomically incorrect human digestive system to a pipe and then to a cup being a disc.

So you mix the words opening and holes as is possible in common language and then proceed to be anal about the term hole in context of topology. While a scholar of topology uses the common word hole to explain the concept of e.g. an annulus or torus to a student it is not a defined term per se.

For the sake of argument I'll accept your incorrect application of the term hole as in a pipe having only one hole. This would still mean it has at least 2 openings. In the context of OP (human digestive system) an entry point (mouth) and an exit (anus).

BTW - you shall henceforth consume liquids only from platters and are required to use the word berry only in the biological correct sense (e.g.: straw-thingy, black-thingy, rasp-thingy, cucumberry, pumpberry, pinemultifruit, etc. pp. - have fun)

Is a pipe two holes or one?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Please go and ask a plumber this question. Preferably a relative at a family gathering and in front of everyone. This will bring enjoyment for years to come.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Why are you so aggressive man?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

I think you replied to the wrong post?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

That is an unusually low number, but I'm certain we can work something out.
