it’s crazy and downright scary how good women are at pretending that they’re happy. you could have a woman living in an emotional pit that she doesn’t even believe there’s a way out of but to you and all around her, she’s a ball of sunshine. it’s terrifying.
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.
In the spring, I got my septum pierced for my birthday. My friend who has his septum pierced went with me. The shape of my nose made it difficult for the piercer to get his clamps in my nose. So he did it without the clamps. And he did it crooked. Well. Crap.
So he went ahead and tried again, with the clamps this time even though it was uncomfortable to get them up there and they hurt a little- much more than the needle, which I barely felt. But whatever. I didn’t get my nose pierced because I wanted to be comfortable. And this time he pierced it straight and all is well and it looks great.
So I go back to school. And of course it’s the first thing Dr. W. notices about me when I’m chilling in her office. So I explain to her what happened, and how the second time the hole lined up on one side with the old hole but not on the other. Which led me to a very important question. Dr. W., how many holes are in my nose?
But of course she doesn’t know. She’s an analyst and a mathematical physicist. She wants me to go find Dr. K., the topologist in the department. But I’m like no, I’m not gonna go ask Dr. K. how many holes are in my nose I barely know him. So I draw these diagrams on her whiteboard and we think about it a while.
And then we hear Dr. K. in the hall, and Dr. W. says, go get him, you don’t have to say it’s your nose just show him the drawings. So I did. And we got Dr. K. to explain to us how many holes were in these shapes I drew on the board. Turns out it’s either two or three, depending on your definition of hole.
And then when we’re done, Dr. W. says to Dr. K., “That’s Lee’s nose!” And he’s like. What. “Her nose!” Her wot. And I had to explain what had happened. And Dr. K. was not amused about having been tricked into discussing the topology of my nose. And he left. And Dr. W. and I laughed about it for about twelve years.
Amazing
Alright, let’s go internet!
I have 6 piercings, so my genus is g=(Humans)+6, naturally.
This scienceblr does a fantastic job of discussing “the human genus problem.” I won’t spoil its conclusions here–go read it! It is slightly NSFW (as topology ought to be) so be warned.
The genus of the “average human body”(?) is, however, a matter of conjecture. There is a fair amount debate, which centers around what constitutes a “hole.”
June 30 2018 – A waitress in Georgia takes no shit from a man who gropes her while walking by. Ryan Cherwinski, 31, of Palm Bay, Florida, was taken into custody at the scene, in front of his wife and two kids, and charged with sexual battery.
i hope his wife divorces him
Direct. Action.
God this gives me so much pussy energy. The way he keeps walking because he “knows” there will be no consequences… except when there are and she slams his bitch ass straight in that chair. Like he must be so shocked
I actually really like her! Apple’s love of shading really makes her look 3D. The skin tone is very yellow, but there are other skin tone variations and the yellow makes the other colors pop. Her anatomy isn’t horribly botched, and I like that I can see individual scales. I love her hair. 10/10 a beautiful mermaid
One of her arms is way too long. There’s no way that seashell bra could ever stay up. Her tale has a border, but she doesn’t. Google’s simplistic style isn’t working. 5/10 I know you can do better
What happened to her? Very very angular. Not the smooth, sleek mermaid I wanted. Black border looks Bad. Boring color scheme. 2/10 very bland
Looks kind of like they traced apple’s emoji and made it more boring. Still, a good pose. That seashell bra still defies physics and looks hella uncomfortable. 7/10 mermaids need back support too
She’s very cute! Traditional color scheme, but not horrible! Could use more personality. Give her a better bra. 7/10
This is truly disgusting. Too simplistic. Tail looks limp and algae-covered. Is she okay? 3/10 bra design is ok and it’s still better tham Microsoft.
Now this is a MERMAID. I love the hair. She’s very dynamic. The end of the tail actually looks to be the right size, which I appreciate. There’s no horrible seashell bra! The only thing that’s a little bit weird is her eyes, which make her look very manevolent, but I am HERE for it. 11/10
This is an even worse bra offender. This mermaid looks like she’s trying to seduce an entire cruise ship. I appreciate the fact that she’s doing the traditional job, but did you have to make her sit like that? It bothers me. Mermaids don’t have asses. 5/10 decent design I guess
There’s a such thing as too much gradient. I feel like I’m in 2010. I like the pointy ears and the fact that she’s on a rock. 5/10.

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.
