Something new to try for Thanksgiving:

No. Your stomach and small intestine absorb most of the nutrients, your large intestine absorbs mostly water.
Yes.
For how long? Science doesn't know yet.
We can finally put a number on it when Musk passes.
From Wikipedia:
A variety of different mixes have been used for nutrient enemas throughout history. A paper published in Nature in 1926 stated that because the rectum and lower digestive tractlack digestive enzymes, it is likely that only the end-products of normal digestion such as sugars, amino acids, salt and alcohol, will be absorbed.[8]
Plus I think you’d have no lipid absorption, so you could probably survive longer than starvation, but I’m guessing not “quite some” time.
Damn, that is tragic.
I suppose one could decide to consume ass-absorbable nutrients only by enema, and supplement the incompatible nutrients orally. That won't be pure ass, but half a loaf is better than no bread.
No, medically speaking, this is how you get Assburgers Syndrome.
But what if you stick to pasta?
Most people survive only talking out their ass, so I dont see why not
You can breathe through your rectum, too, technically; but it's not fast enough at getting oxygen in your system to keep you from suffocating.
I am suspecting that eating food that way may have the same issue. It almost certainly would not break up normal food enough without saliva, chewing, and stomach acids, limiting thr nutrients you can absorb, too.
I'm not thinking about actual undigested food, but special food "slurry", with nutrients specifically arranged and concentrated for maximum absorption.
But your rectum does not absorb any oxygen
TIL. Apparently there were studies done using an oxygen-enriched enema potentially for drowned people to resuscitate them. Didn't work lol.
I feel like there is a limit on "no stupid questions", and you flew past it at 100mph with that latin music drive-by meme.
Latin music drive-by meme? I tried looking for it but didn't find anything resembling that.
Also, there should be no limit to stupidity ;)
Latin might not have been the best descriptor, and this one is dumb https://www.tiktok.com/@meg__legs/video/7229005319286885675
🤣 I don't think I'd be able to come up with a better descriptor either.
(same video here for those who understandably don't want to open tiktok)
Alternatively, is it possible to survive by eating only ass?
human centipede? have you watched it?
you will mostly get blood poisoning from bacteria/fecal decaying and food in your rectum.
