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 week ago

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

[–] Iunnrais@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week 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 week 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.

Dr. Fleets says otherwise

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

[–] dumbass@piefed.social 94 points 1 week ago (4 children)

And you're also full of shit.

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

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

pooptimist, not pissimist.

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

food ➡️ bolus ➡️ chyme 🔀 chyle / feces ➡️ excrement

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

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

[–] psud@aussie.zone 3 points 1 week ago

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

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

It's not puke until you barf it up.

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

Just like magma, and lava. Yep.

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

And Meteors and meteorites.

[–] TrojanRoomCoffeePot@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week 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..."

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

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