Looks like my butthole after I eat something very spicy like a drop of ketchup

What if it's covered in white light? Will we rename it to white hole?

No but there is a hypothetical object known as a white hole!

Oh, there was an article a year or so back about the mounting evidence for their existence! I figured you'd've read it, being an enormous nerd and all.

weird that the disc is angled just right to make a circle from our point of view.

I haven't looked into the details of the pic, but they probably explain exactly how it was captured somewhere.

I'm talking about the accretion disc. If our position relative to it was not head-on, it would give the impression of being elliptical, as when you hold a frisbee at an angle.
if we were looking at it side-on, the orange disc would cross through the middle of the black circle, from our point of view.

Very cool news about the white holes. Black holes go around sucking matter in, then white holes go around spitting it out. It means that if any of us get eaten by a black hole, we just have to find the nearest white hole to rescue them.
Hell... If Earth gets attacked by a black hole, we’ll be okay! We’ll just come out of a white hole!

And the odds that white hole will spit us out into a star's habitable zone, with so little force that we won't just be flung past the star? How do you know we would even survive inside a black hole?

We don't need a habitable zone anymore. We've got enough tecnology that we can just heat up or cool things down if we need to. Yeah surviving in black hole might be tough but I think we could do it, Earth survived two world wars so we could manage. Don't be a cinic.

We very much do need a habitable zone, don't be stupid. Besides that, the black hole would probably strip away Earth's atmosphere before Earth reaches the event horizon. How do you think we will adapt to having no atmosphere, assuming you are right and can efficiently heat/cool an entire planet(which we can not)?

White holes are theoretical, but the progenitor model is flawed, BH formed from core collapse wouldn't cause a WH, and there are also no known physical processes that a WH could actually form, nor have any been observed.
