And plastic bags keep them from being able to vomit out the water.

Isn't nature beautiful
ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Yeah, but think of the CEOs! What would happen if they didn’t buy a new supercar each year at least?
Geodad@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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. 🤷♂️

They generally expel the water out the nostrils so drinking straws love to get lodged in their noses. Then they slowly die of starvation. Isn’t life beautiful?

This would have been a useful upgrade during Uni…
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Unfortunately if can also lodge inedibles in their throat such as plastic wrap.
DarkCloud@lemmy.world 10 months ago
They’re filter feeders?
CityPop@lemmy.today 10 months ago
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.
cenzorrll@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
Well, our stomachs are not at full acid all the time, only when we eat. I imagine it’s pretty similar.
Ledericas@lemm.ee 10 months ago
turtles, because of the jellyfish they eat have very thick eosophagus lining, i assume thier stomaches are equally touch.
LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Imagine if human digestion worked this way. Next to every drinking fountain would be a purge trough.

Wouldn’t a reverse filter mix things together
Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 10 months ago
I think a reverse filter would only let large particles through while retaining the ones to small to pass through it.
thelasttoot@lemmy.world 10 months ago
That’s still just a filter. A filter is something that separates and divides a group into specific categories. So a reverse filter would be the opposite of that. Something that takes separate groups and mixes them together.

So size exclusion chromatography
Chee_Koala@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Now that’s classy
ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 10 months ago
So if they can’t swallow something do they just die

Don’t we all?

Sspine doesn’t make sense here at all. I assume OP meant esophagus/ gullet.
Dave@lemmy.nz 10 months ago
It says spines, rather than spine. The esophagus is covered in spines (think like the spines on a porcupine, not a backbone).
Crankenstein@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Those “spines” are called papillae, for anyone wanting specifics.
Hexarei@programming.dev 10 months ago
Seems like they meant spines to me? As in those little spikey spines pointing backwards down the esophagus?
someguy3@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Reverse filter is a strainer or sieve.
thelasttoot@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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.
someguy3@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Direction matters in what you keep. A filter you keep the water. A strainer/sieve you keep the contents.

An odd dragon
peetabix@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
I bet theres still always carrots in it.
FeatherConstrictor@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
That must feel so good
OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Wouldn’t check valve be more accurate?
psud@aussie.zone 10 months ago
It only stops solids above a certain size, so a filter is more accurate. Check valves generally stop everything or all of a class of things, the turtle passes all liquid and some solids
Our heart valves are check valves
OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 10 months ago
A class of things = large solid objects like jellyfish and food?
