If I swallow a live oyster, can I drink dirty water safely?

[–] ashenone@lemmy.ml 30 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Technically if you swallow s live oyster you don't even need a kidney anymore

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Are you expecting oysters to be poisonous?

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I think they’re making the joke that you could outsource body filtration to the oyster.

I’m assuming you’d at least fuck your throat though, because it’s not staying alive without the shell

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

The stomach acid would probably kill the oyster as soon as it has opened the shell.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Yes. You probably shouldn’t actually try to outsource your kidney function to oysters

So now you tell me!

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 5 points 2 weeks ago

This is very disappointing

Iirc, this is kinda how mitochondria might have become a thing. A living thing eating another living thing, and it become an organ

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Do you have some special internal path for the oysters own waste product that doesn't interact or otherwise affect your other internal organs?

[–] CameronDev@programming.dev 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Where does the oyster poo go in the ocean?

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Hopefully not inside the human body.

Turns out eating oysters straight off the rocks is not recommended. Like super duper not recommended.

I found this out after I managed to open one on the rocks and ate it :)

So what was the outcome? Did you get all the diseases?

How is the hospital food?
