Just chilling here while stroking my mole.

This rubs me the wrong way.
Now we know you're not a mole
On a wild Tiger you can do it, but only one time.
The same is true about sharks.
Quite the opposite:
- Sharks don't have fur
- Shark skin is rough is one direction and smooth in the other. This allows them to get friction with the water to drive themselves forward, but the glide through the water for efficient travel.
The idea was copied into competitive swim suits.
Nah, you're wrong. Sharks are silky smooth in all directions.
Few people have gotten close enough to a shark to pet it. If you could run your hand from a shark’s head to its tail—not that you should—it would feel smooth, almost like suede. Reverse direction and it’s rough like sandpaper. Viewed under a microscope, shark skin is composed of ribbed, dragonesque scales layered over each other like shingles on a roof. These structures, called dermal denticles, are more like teeth than skin
The link you posted says sharks are smooth as the finest silk in every direction.
You sound like you are trying to trick people into getting their skin rasped off by sharks.
Well, a mole is basically a donut. Sooo…
I knew someone would beat me to it.
Unless the mole just doesn't have hair on its face or ass or somewhere, then it's possible to comb all hairs flat.

That is the case, it has bald patches around its mouth and, uh, hands. I don't want to look up pictures of mole ass, but I can’t imagine the anus itself is hairy, that would be a biohazard trap in the environment moles live in.
Unless it is either perfectly perpendicular to the skin or is already somehow laying in all directions: There can only be one direction. Given a mole moves in tight spaces backwards and forward, both would make sense.
Maybe their fur is like a sequin sweater
No really, this is a real quality mole fur has
This is a mathematical problem with no solution, there has to be a cowlick on a sphere. Perhaps the mole avoids this problem by not being a sphere, where there is a possible solution
But it’s not completely covered in fur. A partially hairy sphere doesn’t need a cowlick.
A topological sphere so unless moles are actually a torus then it's still not possible.
Good news, vertebrates are tori
they are however usually not hairy on the inside
I dont remember learning about moles in math. Chemistry, yes, but I don't think moles care much about topology.
However, if we assume an ideal mole in empty space with no air resistance, we would see how they have this property: their hair follicles would, in the absence of outside interference, stand straight up. So, its technically more accurate to say that every direction of petting a mole is equally wrong.
It's very short and perpendicular to the skin. It feels like velvet.
There is a similar rule applying to haha well. lets justr say.
Who up strokin' their mole?
Irish equivalent to cranking your hog?
Eta- the Bingalator understands me
