Squaring a Doughnut 

I’m now 100% sure he forgot the Vsauce password

“Ok sir, but what donut flavor do you want?”

Teacher: This is a square Michael: No miss it’s a flat 2D torus

*hits blunt "dOnUT?" "W H E R E ' S T H E N U T ?"

he said dong, nut, and balls in the first minute of the video. I love this man

*looks at thumbnail* _"I've only seen such raw intellect once before..."_

The long sigh while eating the donut is like a pure encapsulation of the feeling of eating something you've craved for a month.

"We have in our centers, an emptiness and we've decided to give that a name. And we've pretended like it's a leftover thing, it's unimportant. When in reality, our very name, our very extistence, comes from that emptiness we no longer have." -Michael Stevens, in the D!NG episode "Squaring a Doughnut"

Michael has just embraced that he's a meme by now, it's wonderful.

This entire video is Vsauce out of context gold

"That is a lot more difficult; or is it? Well, kind of, except not really." ~Michael Stevens, 2019

7:26 - 7:37 just a pure masterpiece

At this point I’m not only convinced that *he knows about the Vsauce out of context videos* but that he has developed and amplified his humor in order to *fuel better Vsauce out of context videos*

The beard is g r o w i n g

13:23 b for blue, a for aink, and c for the cide of the large square

Michael: "The donut hole actually came before the donut we know today" Me: Wow that's actually really interesting! Michael not even 10 seconds later: Humans are empty. Me: 😬

i was waiting for him to say: "sponsored by squarespace"

"b for blue, a for pink and c for the side of the large square."

"Wow, I didn't know an existential crisis could be so entertaining!" -me every time I watch a Vsauce video

Michael is funny. I love how he has a certain charm were he can take anything, and make it very interesting. He would be the fun teacher if he was a teacher.

What kind of monster writes an 8 with two circles?

Michael is gradually losing his mind and i... kinda enjoy it

listening to him take a deep breath after eating the donut makes him seem so much more human

“Michael’s toys” sounds like something I would never touch!

Vsauce videos are automatically out of context now

The longer his beard gets the crazier he gets

4:17 Me trying to explain derivatives and integrals to a 5th grade student.

That was the coolest visual representation of the Pythagorean thermo I’ve ever seen!

Jake: “Hey Michael, I’ve got an idea for a fun video. Either about Donut Topology or Squares. What do you prefer?” Michael: “Yes”

Micheal got that *THICC* beard

Alternate Title: Watching a man eat doughnuts while talking about science

I know this video is old and I'm sure you don't check it's comments anymore, but I wanted to thank you for what you do. Your video's are always so amusing and interesting. Today was the worst day I've had in awhile (and that's saying something), and this is exactly what I needed. Thank you

*"The point is, Pacman lives on the surface of a doughnut."*

He's just designed to be a meme

0:47 Love it when he gets philosophical

Mother of god. The pythagerian theorem bit at the end really tickled my fancy.

Was expecting him to make a square donut. Boy was I wrong

*_Donut Earth CONFIRMED_*

So he started with “ hey and welcome to dong” and had the segment “michel’s toys”

"Donut, uhhh, where's the nut?" Please don't ask me in november

I really thought that he was gonna cut the donut into a square. I had no idea how wrong I was

The ultimate vsauce "Or is it? Well, kind of except not really" 4:20

Me:It's just a donut, it doesn't get more complicated than that... Michael: hold my Vsauce

Michael, are you sure that a square is a 2D torus? It's not, as far as perimeters of inner and outer circles of a torus isn't same. I can't imagine a torus with exactly same inner and outer circles.

*Michael is giving in to the memes.*

But can you cube a donut?

Vsauce: Where you can give me FREE STUFF 😃! Me: ... no

My doctor during my colonoscopy @7:25

doughnuts are called doughnuts because dough is stored in nuts

this is deep and all but your beard is looking fine, bro

1 minute in and I'm already having an existential crisis. never chang, michael

11:48 "Oooo, Look how BEAUTIFUL it is!!!!!!!!!!"

7:30 Fuel for "Without Context" videos

b - blue a - pink c - side of the large square "Couldn't be easier to remember"

remember when vsauce ate a donut out of a toilet during his "How many holes does a human have?" video

"You can't square a circle" "But why can you square a doughnut and not a circle?" "H O L E"

Sometimes I forget how funny Michael is

“Ooh, this one looks much nicer. That’s got a nice hole right there.” -Michael

*laughs in square doughnuts that bakers have been employing to save dough because they waste less of it

7:07 What kind of Pac-Man are you playing???

This is the quickest a Vsauce video has gotten this deep. Damn, only 1min in

The doughnut is based off of the doughnut hole Michale: “This is an allegory for the human condition”

1:38 Yo that's a minecraft CHUNK!

"that is a lot more difficult, or is it? well, kinda, except not really." -Vsauce

7:30 This is so beautiful, I'm shedding tears.

7:30 I’m not going to actually say anything here. Just click that.

Micheal: this is a doughnut hole Canadians: NO, it’s timbit

Love to come back to videos like this every now and then and remember how Science Dad completely lost his mind.

Michael is actually a really funny comedian

0:08 i love how each bite syncs with the beat

I liked how this one came around and had a clear explanation of a puzzle's mathematical examples..

I havent had or craved a donut in months. Your video has given me needs I didnt know I had.

Such a blessed thumbnail

Michael did too much ayhuasca in the Peruvian jungle

Loves donuts so much, a year later, he'd eat a doughnut out of the toilet.

its so just... wholesome to watch him having fun while he's doing this

His insanity grows with his beard.

0:19 This needs to be in Vsauce Taken out of Context Edit: Why does this have so many likes?

Pac-man cannot go through the top or bottom. Only left and right

3:58 Micheal: "Can you square a-" Me: Goes 5 seconds back Micheal: "squared square." idk micheal. Can you square a squared square?

Well, THAT is a lot more difficult. Or is it? Well kind of... Except! Not really.

Your beard looks nice today Michael

"b for blue, a for pink, and c for the side of the large square. couldnt be easier to remember" 😂

8:53 “Ok, mouth is empty” Or is it... I put a link down in the description about a video I made explaining it.

Title: Squaring a doughnut Video: Squaring a square while eating doughnuts

This just Michaels big excuse to eating a lot of donuts... I approve

Love these videos because they make my brain’s cogwheels go in spinning mode. I don’t know whether this has been already mentioned and answered in the comments (didn’t go through the over 7000 comments) so here’s my comment. Flattening a torus does not yield a square. Take the circumference of the hole. It is smaller than the circumference of the outside of the torus. So if you cut the torus as shown in the animation, the top and bottom edges will in fact be shorter than the middle length of the flatted new shape, here referred to as “squared”. While having some difficulty imagining this, I dare say that it is not even a quadrilateral. You’ll have two straight lines (top and bottom from the inside circumference of the hole) and two curves formed from the opened circumference of the created cylinder which is then flattened. I’m no mathematician and also hope that my thoughts are expressed clearly. It would make more sense with a correctly animated torus to flattened plane transformation. The one used in this video requires that the shape is stretched and squashed to fit a square.

Reminded he ate a doughnut out of that toilet.

the first doughnuts were like this ---> . but now its like this ---> o

Michael have you snorting doughnut dough or something, the hell was that intro 😂

That intro part made me have a existential crisis too early in the morning

I really like how the animation part was introduced

*We went from landing on the moon to squaring donuts*

When you pun so hard, it doesn’t even make sense.

4:18 My teacher whenever I have a question:

7:36 Earth: I have 7.5 billion people Vsauce's shocking video: I have 13 worlds

*Micheal accepts he is a meme* Me: *_"I am so proud of this community"_*

LOL he is slightly losing his mind every video, I love it!

Michael has the superpower to turn dough -nuts- _confections_ dark.

This was WAY more interesting then I thought it would be. God I could listen to Michael teach all day. Please come back 😢
