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.

[–] Ach@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

Dr. Fleets says otherwise

Always chyming in with facts and stuff

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

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 6 points 23 hours ago

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

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

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

TIL a new word! Awesome!

[–] the_mighty_kracken@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

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

[–] dumbass@piefed.social 89 points 1 day ago (4 children)

And you're also full of shit.

[–] psud@aussie.zone 3 points 17 hours ago

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

[–] Damarus@feddit.org 47 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

pooptimist, not pissimist.

[–] Tonava@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 day 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 day 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 day ago (1 children)

food ➡️ bolus ➡️ chyme 🔀 chyle / feces ➡️ excrement

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours 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 2 points 1 day ago

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

[–] DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 40 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's not puke until you barf it up.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 38 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Just like magma, and lava. Yep.

[–] essell@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

And Meteors and meteorites.

Dunno, why are dipshits posting any content that came from that shit site?

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

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours 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

[–] RadicalCandour@startrek.website 1 points 17 hours ago

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