The most undialectical shit post

Fun fact: some people stop it near the top or middle, and alter nature's plumbing

More like a slush of gastric acid and whatever you ate, but in principle, I agree. :)

Medicine is so cool.

It’s no black and white situation.

It’s brown and white situation

The point of no returd.

Umm no? Have you never vomited? I'm not sure I'd call that "food". I guess, maybe, it's still food after you've finished chewing it; you could spit it out into your hand instead of swallowing, and someone else could choke it down. But it stops being food long before it hits the intestines. At some point when it starts mixing with stomach acid, probably.

OP has had a bit of a streak of butt-related posts...

goddamnit

What did you call me?

My dog will eat it.

Think that's called a skid mark.

The hard R

Literally

Some dogs eat shit (literally)

It's like a Food of Theseus.

Bit by bit the food is replaced with a bit of poop, at which point does it cease being food?

(only vaguely relevant, but I love this one so much)

What do you call Alternative Medicine that works?

Reminds me of philosophical question of a boy eating an apple: at what point does it cease to be the apple and become the boy? I suppose this is a similar question: at what point does it cease to be an apple and become a turd?

At what point does a boy become a turd?

Is this No Poop For 3 Days guy?

See, still food.

Satan's maggoty cum fart? Naw

And so do some humans. I guess this kinda stretches the definition of food….

Usually about 11 or 12.

No that's mixing metaphors in a pretty crazy way.

This is more like the Sorites Food

Foop

It’s called chyme from the moment it’s swallowed

Unlike children, and some adults, I don't eat sand, be it in a heap or not, so I'm not entirely convinced that's the right model either.

Interesting "paradox" though, as the initial premise of one million grains of sand being a heap falls over as it doesn't specify the structure of the sand: which is what defines a heap of anything.

This suggests the existence of the poop event horizon. Science totally rocks man.

I have a dog that did that until the older dog died. Didn't like her own product I guess.

That point is much closer to your mouth than it is the other end of the system.

So you're saying the point is somewhere in the esophagus?

I'm in a silent study room full of other students and you're making me laugh uncontrollably, thanks

Rocks big part of science. But science not totally rocks. Science more than rocks.

The point when it goes from food to vomit, yeah. I’m not sure when it goes from puke to poop, though. Maybe that happens in the intestines?

Yeah, it's called the pyloric sphincter.

Since you can empty your stomach back up, I guess the event horizon for food is after the stomach. After that the only way out is down.

but if go backwards, you get assburgers.

And you are either an angry assby or a nice assby.

Kissing is just sucking on the better end of two digestive tracts.

don't knock the other side till you try it

Really? Then why does puke smell so awful? Is it all just stomach acid making it stink like that?

Ah, I wasn't going to ask. So thanks for answering. :-)

You think that's a worse fit than: If I replace parts of a thing with SOMETHING ELSE is it still the same thing? The ship of theseus is more well known, but you would need to eat sand to think it's a good fit IMO.

As an aside, the structure of the heap has nothing to do with it. The point is simply "when does a heap stop being a heap if I remove one grain at a time?" That is the same is the same as when does food stop being food if you make it poop one bit at a time. If you don't like "heap" you can call it a pile WLOG.

If I spread a million grain heap of sand out evenly over a plane such that the grains are still touching it's no longer a heap. Therefore the heap is a structure not a numeric quantity.

You think that’s a worse fit than...

I said no such thing.

Ah, the food of Theseus.
