At work we somehow landed on the topic of how many holes a human has, which then evolved into a heated discussion on the classic question of how many holes does a straw have.

I think it’s two, but some people are convinced that it’s one, which I just don’t understand. What are your thoughts?

    How far are you zooming in? I’d say there are basically infinite holes if you look at it at an atomic scale

      as vsauce said “At small enough scales, ‘How many holes does [an object] have?’ becomes a meaningless question. Ultimately, [the object] isn’t a solid thing that could even have holes. It’s just a loose constellation of atoms and molecules.”
