Topology: Where Triangles Go To Party

This is what happens when mathematicians go wild after a few drinks. On the left, a perfectly normal equilateral triangle that went to private school and has its life together. On the right, its cousin who "found itself" during a gap year and now claims to be "topologically equivalent." Sure, they both have three vertices labeled 1, 2, and 3, but one of them clearly needs therapy.

Topologists really be out here saying "they're the same picture" while the rest of us wonder if they need glasses. This is why mathematicians aren't allowed to design furniture.
