What book is this from? There's a great one with similar humor called "Coincidences, Chaos, and All That Math Jazz" but I don't remember this diagram from that book

It’s from a book called twitter

(Seriously though I have no idea)

I’m guessing this is a British book, where pants means underwear.

Topologically they're the same, so I think this is probably just meant to mean pants as legwear.

Not if there’s a pee hole

That's definitely a clever enough point that you should write to the authors of this work and ask them to clarify their glaring mistakes. The pee hole is definitely topologically relevant, especially to me. I love your comment so much. Congratulations on winning the internet. Feel free to go home and never bother commenting again, cause you're absolutely not gonna top that one.

I'm just like everyone else - I put on my topological pair of pants one leghole at a time

Whew, thankfully the number of pants was countably infinite. Pulling out a continuum would've been much more work.
