I really hope they fully cooked that takoyaki I ate…

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.
How much?
Pretty sure that’s not true…
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.
If they weren’t too big or have to swim through all the digestive juices, it would be entirely possible
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.
Hey, if we can make a pencil out of leaves, cephalopods can swim through our GI tract like species 8472 through fluidic space.
The problem isn’t the space it’s the acid.
No, the acid takes time, the bigger issue is the Pylorus stopping solid food.

Octo-Diddy Where Art Thou?
In jail without bond, currently.
That’s one well-trained octopus!

I’m pretty sure there’s japanese porn on this exact theme
Not just porn, but classic art by a famous artist. Check out Hokusai’s “The Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife.”
That was a super interesting read! Thanks!
Prove it
Don’t give people ideas.
Flexible enough? Sure.
But will it withstand my stomach acids?
Bro, it lives underwater, in the ocean, where there’s sharks and shit. It doesn’t care about your stomach acid.
It lives in water with salt. The average ocean pH value is 8.1. It’s a brain coated with a thin bit of goo.
My stomach is about 1.5 pH.
You could easily go through a waterslide, but if I change the water to be hydrochloric acid, you’re not gonna come out as fresh as you went in. And most skin on the face and body has a pH of between 4.7 and 5.75.
In addition, pH is a logarithmic scale, a pH of 3 is 10x more acidic than pH 4
Genuine question: what is the point of logarithmic scales? Why can’t we have a linear scale of 3 to 30 instead of 3 to 4? A linear scale works perfectly fine in most cases (for example the Scoville scale which goes from something like 3 for a green pepper to 20 million for a reaper), so why can’t pH do the same?
Well, sure, you could, but would you rather write that a substance has a pH value of 11, or the absolute value, which is the hydrogen ion molar concentration, which would be 0.00000000001?

Especially since what we consider the neutral point, is a pH value of 7 (pure water). So then, for an example, if you have 3 substances, they have the values of 0.0000043, 0.00000003, and 0.0000005. are they acidic? Or basic? It’s really difficult to tell at a glance.
And sure, you could have a different measurement like set water as 0 and positive are acids and negative are bases or something, but then you just move further away from the actual definition of acidity.
Holy crap, I never knew that!
Okay, but mine was funnier.
Stop, please. I can only get so erect.
a small one could probably go up that too
Or, the other way around 😉
GI?

And that’s why you should never trust an octopus.
You wouldn’t see us squid doing anything like that. Ick.
