contents This article examines the Thomae function, a paradigmatic example of a function that is continuous on the irrationals and discontinuous elsewhere. Defined for a parameter $θ>0$, it exhibits a rich self-similar structure and intriguing regularity properties. After revisiting its fundamental characteristics, we analyze its Hölder continuity, emphasizing the interplay between its discrete spikes and its behavior on dense subsets of the real line. This study provides a refined perspective on the irregularity of the Thomae function, using classical analytical tools to elucidate its fractal nature.
