Pretty sure that's not true...

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 (1 children)

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

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

what kind of octopus are we talking? How big?

It's a known fact that as long as their mouth fits through the hole, the rest will follow, but it must be pretty small for it to move through your entire GI tract.

Now the spooky thing is that it's probably intelligent enough to do it, assuming it doesn't die somewhere along the way.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

And that's why you should never trust an octopus.

You wouldn't see us squid doing anything like that. Ick.
