I posit this factoid: the spare tire in my trunk is referred to as a donut. It exists in both states, for in its natural form it has a hole in the middle. But in its usable form, that space is filled by the rim.

Ergo, it is a donut that is both holed and hole-less. I dub this observation Schrodinger's Spare.

Except that the part filling out the hole isn't part of the donut itself.

... what, you've never ate part of a donut, and then stuck the rest through another donut's hole and consumed the lot of it? Thread the doughneedle of conspicuous consumption, Darvi!

It would be far too tempting to get all suggestive with it while eating in public.

Of course I haven't had a donut in a long while, so...

Google defines donut as
Quote from: google
a small fried cake of sweetened dough, typically in the shape of a ball or ring.
So, yes. Timbits (donut holes for you non-Canadians) count.

What if the dough is in the shape of a knot?

Ah. I'm pretty sure those are a thing, but I don't recall a name for them.

Yeah me neither, I only know that we have them every year or so and that they don't taste that good even with all the powdered sugar.
