If a Klein bottle could wear pants, would it be like this or like this?

[kanamauna@sauropods.win]

@rocketsoup

Yes

@rocketsoup
Both. Simultaneously.

@LovingFalloutLondon1954 @rocketsoup It's Cliff Stoll! He's an astronomer and in 1986 when working as a system admin he uncovered a KGB hacker. See also this video where he shows off his operation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-k3mVnRlQLU

Sorry, but if the jeans have cuffs, I stopped doing that in the 50's... no clothed Klein bottles should ever be stuck in fashion hell unless there's a remake of Grease.

@rocketsoup depends upon its gender?

[kurt@social.thiskurt.me]

@rocketsoup Surely both are wrong? No part of the bottle would show the inside of the pants, both the big bulb and the small tube would be the outside of the pants. Or the inside.

I love Mastodon for this exact kind of humor.

@rocketsoup

I bet Matt Parker would be into this, and/or Sarah-Marie Belcastro, but definitely have a look at this (Matt and Katie Steckles) from a long time ago

Or maybe Steve Mould and Matt Parker did some stuff here.

Matt is totally into Klein Bottles and topology in general. He may or may not be good at responding to direct questions, however.

@bloody_albatross @LovingFalloutLondon1954 @rocketsoup his book about that journey is quite nice: The Cuckoo's Egg.

@rocketsoup where's the cat?

[benhm3@saint-paul.us]

@rocketsoup

Both. At the same time.

@rocketsoup
Thank YOU, Rocketsoup for asking a question that needed to be answered.

[smohc_stahc@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@rocketsoup These are the same bottle. I don't get it.

[ferrix@mastodon.online]

@rocketsoup @rk now do folding a fitted sheet

@ferrix @rocketsoup

Mathematics is not ready for such questions.

@rocketsoup@mastodon.social Why would you make such shape wear pants?

[rocketsoup@mastodon.social]

Thanks for having fun with my silly little drawing, all. Going to mute this thread now because it’s a bit overwhelming for lil ol me.

[bloody_albatross@chaos.social]

@rocketsoup I know what hat they would wear, though!
