Pretty sure that's not true...

If they weren't too big or have to swim through all the digestive juices, it would be entirely possible

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

For clarification, too big means larger than a millimeter for the human stomach.

I mean, some octopodes are pretty small. The real issue is them moving through the GI tract. They might be flexible enough, but propelling themselves forward consistently would be the real feat.

More importantly nothing larger than a millimeter is getting past the stomach, ever.

Aye that's part of what I was saying. Now, the argument could be made that if the octopus is smart enough to have the goal of moving through the tract, they could muscle open the sphincter. I haven't ever tested an octopus against a sphincter. The controlled variable would have to be octopus size...

Off hand, I think the sphincter would win out until the octopus is too big to fit through without rupturing other areas.

You would be correct, the Pylorus Sphincter stops anything larger than 1 to 2 millimeters in size from entering the intestines. Solids do not oass through human beings.

Hey, if we can make a pencil out of leaves, cephalopods can swim through our GI tract like species 8472 through fluidic space.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

The problem isn't the space it's the acid.

No, the acid takes time, the bigger issue is the Pylorus stopping solid food.
