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

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

TIL a new word! Awesome!

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

Dr. Fleets says otherwise

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

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days 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

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

And you're also full of shit.

[–] Damarus@feddit.org 49 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

pooptimist, not pissimist.

[–] Tonava@sopuli.xyz 14 points 5 days 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 5 days 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 4 days 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

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 3 points 5 days ago

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

[–] psud@aussie.zone 3 points 4 days ago

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

[–] DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 40 points 5 days ago (2 children)

It's not puke until you barf it up.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 39 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Just like magma, and lava. Yep.

[–] essell@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

And Meteors and meteorites.

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

[–] TrojanRoomCoffeePot@lemmy.world 21 points 5 days 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
