A concept that has been plaguing my mind for the past couple of days. It's been in multiple stories of mine, causing me stress, anger, and confusion. Made me ask questions! So many questions… Such as, “Why is the universe so stupid? Or am I the stupid one?”. After 1 month of pondering this subject, and also wanting to update this book, I’ve decided.

A straw has two holes.

Now you see, I expected to come back to this story with a long, nice lengthy essay of me ranting on random things since I do it a lot. And I will, but this subject is more important. Now, let us pose the question.

Great, now we’ve defined what a straw is. Now, let us define what a tunnel is. According to Oxford Languages, “an artificial underground passage, especially one built through a hill or under a building, road, or river.” Right? Alright, a tunnel going through something, a solid. A straw, without the tunnel, is just a cylinder. A tunnel, the majority of the time, has two openings. These openings are called HOLES. Therefore, a straw has two holes.
Now, here I’ll be debating this opinion with random Google answers.

“Assuming the straw is a simple, closed surface with no self-intersections, it has one hole. This is because the straw can be thought of as a tube-like surface with an outer boundary (the rim of the opening) and an inner boundary (the inner rim of the opening), which forms a single hole.”

But here's the thing, the tunnel has one opening, which would mean that the opening is only on one side. On the other side of the straw, you wouldn't see it because there's no opening. Now, a tunnel doesn't necessarily HAVE to reach the other side of an object. It could stop halfway, and it would be a tunnel without an end. So without the other opening, the straw wouldn't be a tunnel it would just be a cylinder with a hole. So it has two holes.,

“It's one. A straw is one continuous hole.”

No, because there's a tunnel inside of the straw. A straw, in general, is a tunnel. Now, si has two openings, which means it has two holes. That “continuous hole” is the tunnel. These two openings in the straw are referred to as holes, so a straw has two holes.

“ A straw is considered to be a hollow cylinder, with two openings, one on each end.”

What are these openings called? Holes.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpaF0yZm3o
“A hole is an opening in something that goes right through it.”

This statement disproves all arguments from “One holer for straws.”
