Fuck your feelings. Stop feeling feels and start thinking logically, newfag.

They are homeo-morphic

A cylinder is not homeomorphic to a torus.

But the mug's walls have a certain width, so if you fatten them up you obtain a torus

>cylinder
use your imagination brainlet

Thats not taken into account in the usual analogy.

>topologist
Not math or science

the inside of the walls are filled in, so by "fattening," you would get a filled-in-torus, which is not a torus so it's not a homeomorphism? "tearing" in that way wouldn't even be continuous

was a funny anecdote though

lol

samefagging. but if you could tear spaces in that way then a normal coffee mug would be homeomorphic to a sphere with a handle, which seems obviously fucked up

you could have noticed that most drinking glasses are topologically equivalent to dinner plates
all the more reasons for studying riemannian geometry

>lee is a lee

it's rough being a topologist

that response is my response :')

t. engineering undergrad, get back to me when you realize that theoreticians care a great deal about how a theory feels
