I bet theres still always carrots in it.
Your username could be interpreted as analogous to their digestive system.
Unfortunately if can also lodge inedibles in their throat such as plastic wrap.
And plastic bags keep them from being able to vomit out the water.
Yeah, but think of the CEOs! What would happen if they didn’t buy a new supercar each year at least?
Aww, shit. I’ve been using the same ALDI bags for years now. I guess they’ll have to cut back on their avocado toast. 🤷♂️
Isn’t nature beautiful
😭
Imagine if human digestion worked this way. Next to every drinking fountain would be a purge trough.
This would have been a useful upgrade during Uni…
Purge the booze, keep the snacks. Yeah that’s handy.
Other way around.
Booze the purge, snack the keeps?
No no no
Snack the keeps, booze the purge
That’s what they meant
I thought they were implying “Purge the keep, snack the booze.”
Maybe it could’ve been “Yeah the booze. Purge the snacks. Keep that’s handy”
They’re filter feeders? Like whales, but the teeth are in the neck?
So if they can’t swallow something do they just die
Don’t we all?
Wouldn’t a reverse filter mix things together
I think a reverse filter would only let large particles through while retaining the ones to small to pass through it.
So size exclusion chromatography
That’s still just a filter. A filter is something that separates and divides a mixed group into specific categories. So a reverse filter would be the opposite of that. Something that takes separate groups and mixes them together.
Something that takes separate groups and mixes them together.
I’ve got a system like that, you can mix together things from any group you want: fruits and vegetables, proteins, grains, you name it. Unfortunately the end product isn’t what I’d describe as desirable.
So do they just have no gut acid? How quickly does that regenerate if you’re giving your stomach a seawater oral enema every time you eat.
turtles, because of the jellyfish they eat have very thick eosophagus lining, i assume thier stomaches are equally touch.
Well, our stomachs are not at full acid all the time, only when we eat. I imagine it’s pretty similar.
Now that’s classy
Sspine doesn’t make sense here at all. I assume OP meant esophagus/ gullet.
It says spines, rather than spine. The esophagus is covered in spines (think like the spines on a porcupine, not a backbone).
Those “spines” are called papillae, for anyone wanting specifics.
Thanks to all for the English lesson! I’ve learned something.
More a biology lesson. It’s the scientific word for the appendage. Human’s — I believe all mammals as well — have them lining our lower intestines. They help us absorb nutrients by increasing surface area.
The word itself, papillae, just means “a small, rounded part which protrudes from an organ/ nipple” from Latin.
Seems like they meant spines to me? As in those little spikey spines pointing backwards down the esophagus?
Reverse filter is a strainer or sieve.
Strainers and sieves are filters. A filter is a filter. A reverse filter is still a filter. Direction doesn’t make a difference because direction is subjective.
Direction matters in what you keep. A filter you keep the water. A strainer/sieve you keep the contents. Direction does matter, that’s why the comic has to specify reserve filter. But it’s a poor choice of words because reverse means it’s a strainer/sieve.
Well, unless you used the strainer/sieve to get and keep fine cake flour (the water in your analogy) from coarse flour (the contents).
Or like in the way they use sieves to sort gravel. They keep all of it.
My point is, direction is relative.
Oh using multiple accounts then?
The one here is water and contents. Like water filter, you keep the water. Or pasta strainer, you keep the pasta. Hell even the comic says reverse filter. You’re trying to ignore common day parlance. Ciao.
An odd dragon
That must feel so good
