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!

[Darvi]

Nah, I prefer borromean donuts.

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

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?

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

Pretzel.

[Darvi]

A knot that's actually been pulled, I mean.

[Flying Dice]

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

[Darvi]

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.

[Aseaheru]

The things that look like braids?

Doughnuts.

[Flying Dice]

Doughknots?

Or, perhaps more appropriately...

 

Donots.

[Aseaheru]

Bad.

But no, they are donuts.

I just waned to say that the title of this thread sounds like a Tumblr post. That is all.
