If you don't know what topology is, then don't complain about it. The reason topologists "can't" tell the difference between a mug and a doughnut is because they both have one hole. Do some research before you decide to bash on people because you don't know what they're talking about.

I've used topological concepts in Geographic Information Systems. Geography software needs to use topology to be able to virtually render different types of real world geographical scenarios dealing with the relationships between various shapes. E.g., is this polygon something that has a physical barrier shared with others but can only occupy its own space like a lake, or is it something that can be superimposed over other polygons like political boundaries, school district zoning, service provider zoning, etc, or even if it's something that is intangible in the real world but gives information about the way networks work, like distinguishing an overpass from the street beneath it when you're using network analysis, which use lines and points in space without depicting the real distances, only relationships of features. Software like Google Maps uses a lot of these concepts to not only accurately depict a map but to give you real-time traffic information and driving directions using shortest route, etc.

It keeps me awake at night, thinking about how humans are just complicated donuts
