I’ve been asking this question since childhood. Can somebody help me find the answer: “Why do you think donuts have hole in the middle?”

For easier transportation.One can hang them on a piece of a string and carry.
I have another question," How is some  jam inserted into  the round  sweets?"

jam is inserted into round sweets using a container with a pointed cover.
I have a question too: “How would you describe red to blind person since birth?”

Since he/she cannot see, he/she doesn’t have any idea of how it looks like. And even though you’ve tried to explain everything to him/her about being red, he/she still will not get it. So better tell him/her what red symbolizes. Example: Red symbolizes courage and love.

Ohhh, perhaps when a food item like this is cooked in the form of a ring, there is a lot more area on the outside that is nice and crisp, while the middle will be cooked just right. Difficult to do that if the dough is just in one lump. There is a similar looking food item made by the South Indians, Ulundu Vadai. A Vadai is a fried savory (non sweet) item.

so men can use it to masturbate when they are too lazy to wash their hands while they're eating donuts and get arroussed for something they watched.

Hi Leia,
I went to dunkin donuts recently and more of their doughnuts there have no such holes as you’re telling us.lol. I think it’s just for style.
And about the whale and the elephant. It depends on WHERE they would do the fight: on LAND or on WATER. The answer’s obvious right after.
