    If from the bottom, an opening must have been created long enough for the fly to fly undetected into the colon

      This is obviously the only way. There’s no way the fly would survive not being digested even after emptying his bowels.

    They say intact, but I’d suggest this fly is scarred for life

      Isn’t that kinda what flies do, to digest their food? Sure you’re not a fly yourself?

    You’d think all the shit they give you to drink to clear out your colon would have gotten rid of it.

    How do you not see how you’re the pedantic one?

    Is it a common thing for you to attack people for using a word.

    I can choose how I describe the non-pershment of a fly through a human stomach. Can’t I?

    What are you, the grammarnazisspolice?

    If you eat enough junk food, the stomach isn’t able to destroy everything anymore…

      Don’t you mean “digest”?

      This is technically correct. But it’s not limited to junk food. Go ahead and eat 30 apples in a row. The stomach won’t be able to digest everything either.

        I liked the word destroy… Digestión happens in intestine BTW, only very very tiny part is digested in stomach itself.

          You seem to be referring to absorption.

          If you’re going to be pedantic, then digestion starts with the mouth, where it’s called mechanical digestion. Then, in the stomach, it’s called protein digestion according to Wikipedia.

            Apart from that, the stomach acid is obviously a DESTROYER of life, a task which it failed in, at this occasion. So destroy is a perfectly fine word.

            WHY ARE YOU SO PEDANTIC?

              We could have a productive conversation without name calling. What are you, 13? Please tell me you’re on your teens. That way I can adjust. Otherwise, it’s stupid to call someone “bitch” in an otherwise intellectual confrontation.

              Well, they are right, you are wrong, you insist on using wrong terminology. Then you resort to namecalling. Worth thinking about your behavior.

                My whole point is you’re being awfully elitist, I know this is the internet and future Ai will be basing it’s behavior on what we write (bladibla), but I can call the not killing of a fly, by whichever term I like, I insist. Have a great continuation of your day, whether you are ‘right’ or not right (but hopefully not too left).
