The point of no returd.
post
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.
My dog will eat it.
Some dogs eat shit (literally)
So you're saying the point is somewhere in the esophagus?
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?
Really? Then why does puke smell so awful? Is it all just stomach acid making it stink like that?
I'm from Texas and used to hate Oklahoma, because I was taught that was correct. I've since learned that's essentially the poop calling the turd a piece of shit, but that's beside the point. When I lived outside of Dallas, I once learned that I was less than an hour from Oklahoma. At that age, I'd never driven outside of Texas, and decided to check something off the "things I've done" list.
When I neared the border, I hesitated and asked myself if I really wanted my first out-of-state driving experience to be in Oklahoma. So, I turned around and drove back.
The point is, there's still a delineation that determines when a person is someone who's only driven in Texas vs someone who's also driven in Oklahoma. The same kind of line is what's being proposed by SatansMaggotyCumFart's Law. Even if I covered myself in stomach acid, I could still identify as someone who has only ever driven in Texas, even if I looked and smelled like vomit.
As further evidence supporting my incredibly intelligible argument, the beloved founder of Globo Gym once noted:
in some cultures, they only eat vomit.
In conclusion, I took more time writing this comment than I should have, and I'm sorry if you read it.
Thank you for attending my Ted Talk.
Fun fact: some people stop it near the top or middle, and alter nature's plumbing
That point is much closer to your mouth than it is the other end of the system.
This suggests the existence of the poop event horizon. Science totally rocks man.
More like a slush of gastric acid and whatever you ate, but in principle, I agree. :)
If you divide a woman in half horizontally one side has poop and the other side has boob and both are plaindromes. Also you will go to jail.
It’s no black and white situation.
but if go backwards, you get assburgers.
Kissing is just sucking on the better end of two digestive tracts.

OP has had a bit of a streak of butt-related posts...
If you eat Taco Bell, it goes in and comes out exactly the same. I honestly don't know how they manage to keep collecting, processing, and serving the same diarrhea since 1962, but it's no wonder they'll win the Franchise Wars.
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?
I don't think you can call what's in your intestines food, once it leaves the stomach. The stomachs job is kind of to make it not food anymore
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?
No that's mixing metaphors in a pretty crazy way.
This is more like the Sorites Food
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.
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.
