This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Does this actually get absorbed like as if you drank it from your mouth?

And what if the water isn't clean, does it get filtered this way? Since excrement isn't clean either, there must be protection against dirt in there?

  1. essentially. You can absorb water through the esophagus, intravenously, subcutaneously, or via the rectal route

  2. nope. The bacteria and viruses will remain in your bowel, avoiding the acidic stomach acids that would normally kill them. This is a great way to get an infection

So it's actually safer to drink the dirty water
