This is a lava/magma situation. It's not vomit until the volcano erupts. It's called chyme while it's still beneath the earth's surface.

Is that why Jews say "la chyme" before they drink, since it's going into their stomach?

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Yes, it's an ancient wish for prosperity. It roughly translates to: may your wine become chyme, and never vomit.

No matter what you say poop is touching you right now on the inside.

We can still agree that it's warm though, right?
