I really hope they fully cooked that takoyaki I ate…

That beak is going to hurt like a mother, though.
Beaked for your pleasure
No one said it wouldn’t be painful lol
TIL what that Coldplay song is about.
The Willie Nelson cover is much better, imo

Octo-Diddy Where Art Thou?
In jail without bond, currently.
Something an incredibly large number of people do not understand is that solid objects cannot pass through you: anything larger than 1-2mm will not get past the Pylorus Sphincter at the end of your stomach.
Any claims otherwise are misled bullshit.
EDIT: Lots of typos
I never threw the quarter i swallowed at 6 years old back up, doc said it likely passed. Thats hella bigger tam 1-2mm and there’s no quarters showing up on imaging… so how exactly does that work?
Not saying I don’t believe this its just that reconciling this statement with real world experience isn’t adding up.
And now I’m picturing the ‘Little Book of Calm’ getting absorbed and Bill Bailey running around looking like Jesus and quoting it. I never walked around like moose jesus so I guess I didn’t absorb it.
Coins will dissolve within a month, pass once small enough. US Quarters are Copper with a plating of Copper Nickel Alloy, all of which will dissolve in acid.
Now that’s interesting.

Looks like you typoed the unit of measure. Thats 2 cm, not mm, 10x bigger.
However, exceptions include sharp or toxic bodies, objects too large to pass through the pyloric sphincter (greater than 2×6 cm),

The pylorus contracts to slow gastric emptying and results in further mixing of gastric contents. During this time, the stomach transforms its contents into multiphase slurry called chyme, which is a combination of separate phases of aqueous solutions, fats, and solids. The more intense peristaltic waves promote antral empty- ing, which allows gastric contents, mainly fluid mixed with small particles, to pass through the pylorus and enter the duodenum. The particle size of the food emptied through the pylorus is less than 1 to 2 mm during the fed state (Thomas 2006).
and the Thomas Citation:
Thomas A. 2006. Gut motility, sphincters and reflex control. Anaesthesia Intens Care Med 7(2):57–8.
I think yours is the typo.
I don’t read any conflicts here, in fact it seems the blurb you shared is speaking to normal food particle size that passes though, while the one I shared talks about maximum foreign object size that can pass.
Huh. TIL
When I was a kid, I passed a marble. It was quite painful when exiting the stomach, but I’ll never forget the sound of it hitting the porcelain afterwards.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.
Not again.
Cheers @[email protected] I was in need of a new fear…
Scareoused?
That’s just great! Now I want that :(
I have a stomach ache and this is not helping
It’s just fully autonomous pipe cleaning.
So’s coffee what’s your point?
Alive?
I like my coffee FrEsH.
Stop it, you’ll make me cum
GI?
General infantry
what kind of octopus are we talking? How big?
It’s a known fact that as long as their mouth fits through the hole, the rest will follow, but it must be pretty small for it to move through your entire GI tract.
Now the spooky thing is that it’s probably intelligent enough to do it, assuming it doesn’t die somewhere along the way.
Could it survive the stomach acid?
Nope, that’s the point. That’s how we trick them into get eaten.
And that’s why you should never trust an octopus.
You wouldn’t see us squid doing anything like that. Ick.
