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

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."

I checked your topological sign and you're such a torus.

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.

Given it also has a mouth-to-anus tube, is there a name for a double torus? Genus-2 torus I guess

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

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.

The fabled spherical cow dog in a vacuum!

But dogs are afraid of vacuums

Such a cliffhanger. So, is it possible to comb all the hairs in such a way, or is the parting impossible to remove?

affiliate@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 172d

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)

I'm now imagining a barking spherical dog which somebody then kicks and it bounces around the room like a football

OK, whoever downvoted me knows nothing about topology.
