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.

Always chyming in with facts and stuff

[–] astronaut_sloth@mander.xyz 28 points 1 month ago

This is the hard-hitting knowledge I'm here for!

[–] Iunnrais@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

TIL a new word! Awesome!

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.

Source: the same place from which I'm currently pooping

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

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Dr. Fleets says otherwise

[–] the_mighty_kracken@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

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

[–] dumbass@piefed.social 95 points 1 month ago (4 children)

And you're also full of shit.

[–] Damarus@feddit.org 51 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I prefer to say I'm half empty of shit.

pooptimist, not pissimist.

[–] Tonava@sopuli.xyz 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I have an ileostomy, so without large intestine my body does not accumulate shit inside, it just leaks out. One could even argue it is not really shit until large intestine handles it... Anyway this means you're all wayyyy shittier than me

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Now I need someone to come teach us what shit is called before it erupts. What's the magna equivalent for poop Lemmy??

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

food ➡️ bolus ➡️ chyme 🔀 chyle / feces ➡️ excrement

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Slight correction. It's a bolus all the way through. That means ball. You'll have a food bolus, then a chyme bolus, then a chyle bolus turns into a lump of feces I guess. Lots of little boli (boluses? Bolodes.)as you eat. As illustrated below

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago

large intestinal effluent? (I have no idea! 🥴💩)

[–] Clanket@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago
[–] psud@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago

Not quite full, the biological signals are very clear when that part of me is full

[–] DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 44 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's not puke until you barf it up.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 41 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Just like magma, and lava. Yep.

[–] essell@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

And Meteors and meteorites.

[–] TrojanRoomCoffeePot@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Stowing this for future use whenever someone I don't like is nauseous. "If you think about it, the only real difference is that the puke is still in your stomach, just waiting to get out..."

[–] RadicalCandour@startrek.website 1 points 1 month ago

If you feel you gotta vomit, you’re gonna have a bad Chyme

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

So like, you got two valves in your stomach, right? An intake and an output. Only, sometimes the output won't intake so your intake's gotta output, right? You just better hope you intook since tasty output recently or else it's gonna hurt por la nariz

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago (2 children)
