Does this actually get absorbed like as if you drank it from your mouth?

And what if the water isn't clean, does it get filtered this way? Since excrement isn't clean either, there must be protection against dirt in there?

essentially. You can absorb water through the esophagus, intravenously, subcutaneously, or via the rectal route
nope. The bacteria and viruses will remain in your bowel, avoiding the acidic stomach acids that would normally kill them. This is a great way to get an infection

So it's actually safer to drink the dirty water

What if I eat lots of fiber and push out some gargantuan logs? Does that flush out any germs?

What about seawater?
