There's an awful lot of people here saying that there is only one hole and that it goes right through but I think they might have been a bit hasty.
Certainly I see what they are getting at but I rather think there are 2 holes.
You see it rather depends on your perspective, if you were inside a tunnel there would be 2 holes that you could leave through.
And if a straw only had one hole, it wouldn't work, there needs to be a hole for your drink to go into and another hole for the drink to come out of.
What about a lady garden?
We call that a hole and that doesn't go anywhere.
We eat and drink through 1 hole and it comes out of 2 holes, how does that work in a singular hole paradigm?
But what then happens with an arch?
Does that have 2 holes?
I dont think so, Im not even sure that has one hole, maybe it does but certainly doesn't have 2 holes, no no no, you just go through an archway.
So at some point one hole becomes 2 holes and I think that if you are experiencing both holes at the same time, as you do with an arch, its just one hole and a cave only has one hole but straws, pipes and tunnels etc have 2 holes and in hole and an out hole or top hole and a bottom hole or a north hole and south hole etc.
So Im going to say there are 2 holes and they dont meet in the middle, they meet at all, they are separate things and the tunnel is another separate thing.
If you have a maze of tunnels through a mountain with lots of holes linking inside to outside it becomes more clear that these are separate things.
It has one hole that goes from one opend end of the straw to the other open end. There would have to be something in the straw blocking anything going all the way through it for it to be two holes. Another way to have two holes would be to put a hole though it on the side of the straw.
2, if you think of the straw as a shirt or a building if that shirt was to be laid flat and hole punched when you lift it up there would be 2 holes. If you had a bullet got through your apartment (assume it’s just a studio apartment) and it doesn’t get stuck in the wall you have two holes, and entrance and an exit same applies for the straw when used for drinking liquid goes in one side goes out another, same with the building. A straw is also a cylinder with no ends so basically if you were to cut it down the middle it would be flat but since it’s a cylinder think of it having 2 closed ends, if you remove one end of the cylinder you basically have a cup if you remove the other end you have a straw
One. It's continuous from one end to the other. Kinda like a donut has one hole, or one of those flat metal washer things that are used with nuts & bolts. One hole. The only difference being is that a straw is longer than the other two, but still one hole.
One hole and two ends. To me it would be more then one if it had a section that branched off the main part. So a Y shaped straw has 3 holes due to the two parts that branch off.
