    It’s asking about the coffee not the coffee cup.

    If your coffee has a hole in it that’s weird.

          Or is it? We don’t know what’s going on inside the singularity, it might as well actually be a hole in spacetime.

      If the “thread” width is around the size of an electron, then the coffee (liquid) has basically infinite hole.

      The same applies to the cup, our hands and so on

      That’s not entirely true. We don’t have just one hole going through us. Our holes branch. We have 3 intakes (2 nostrils, 1 mouth) and 2 outputs (1 anus, 1 urethra). If you simplified us down topographically, it’d be like you formed a donut around a starfish with the arms sticking out and then you just deleted the starfish.

        Considérons that our lungs and intestines are porous on a molecular scale… And also our sweat pores… Plus are blood vessels (connected to previously mentioned holes)…

        Humans have a changing topology depending on the size scale at which you’re working.

          I mean that is true of basically all structures and materials. It’s just the coastline problem. How long is the coastline? Depends on the level of precision you apply and the exact time you measure. Theoretically it is infinite if you keep getting more and more granular with it. That’s not helpful or meaningful for general purposes though.

            Yes, they are one hole away from a donut. If you include things like nostrils, ears and tear ducts then the internet says we have 7 holes.
