Toroidal Earth Theory

Seriously though, estimation game time: what is the genus of the earth?

Do we need to know the amounts of every:

Tunnel

Bridge

Underpass

Cave with two or more openings

Car???

Arches in Arches, the national park?

????

what about the space between atoms

Hmmmmm not counting it

Okay but

Like the Earth definitely isn’t a torus but,

I believe I remember learning in one of my astronomy courses that a torus is gravitationally stable so like,

Even though you’d need some pretty bizarre conditions for one to form and one or two asteroids could disrupt them and cause them to collapse into a sphere,

And so they’d be incredibly rare,

There could be toroidal planets out there.

And now I want to draw one instead of getting caught up on number theory. Crap.

I’ll need @transhumanish to weigh in on the fuckability implications of toroidal planets, but listen, I’ll accept this as a small step toward my agenda.
