        That’s still just a filter. A filter is something that separates and divides a mixed group into specific categories. So a reverse filter would be the opposite of that. Something that takes separate groups and mixes them together.

          I’ve got a system like that, you can mix together things from any group you want: fruits and vegetables, proteins, grains, you name it. Unfortunately the end product isn’t what I’d describe as desirable.

    So do they just have no gut acid? How quickly does that regenerate if you’re giving your stomach a seawater oral enema every time you eat.

      Well, our stomachs are not at full acid all the time, only when we eat. I imagine it’s pretty similar.

      Strainers and sieves are filters. A filter is a filter. A reverse filter is still a filter. Direction doesn’t make a difference because direction is subjective.

        Direction matters in what you keep. A filter you keep the water. A strainer/sieve you keep the contents. Direction does matter, that’s why the comic has to specify reverse filter. But it’s a poor choice of words because reverse means it’s a strainer/sieve.

          Well, unless you used the strainer/sieve to get and keep fine cake flour (the water in your analogy) from coarse flour (the contents).

          Or like in the way they use sieves to sort gravel. They keep all of it.

          My point is, direction is relative.

            Oh using multiple accounts then?

            The one here is water and contents. Like water filter, you keep the water. Or pasta strainer, you keep the pasta. Hell even the comic says reverse filter. You’re trying to ignore common day parlance. Ciao.

              Nope, multiple people disagree with you.

              Or pasta strainer, you keep the pasta.

              You’re also supposed to keep some of the water to thicken the sauce typically

              You’re trying to ignore common day parlance.

              And you’re ignoring the gravel sieve example where everything is kept, because it’s inconvenient for your argument.

                You said “My point” not “Their point”.

                This comic is water and its contents. Anyway, you’re being weird (b b but some water is kept!) and weirdly confrontational about this so ciao.

      It says spines, rather than spine. The esophagus is covered in spines (think like the spines on a porcupine, not a backbone).

            More a biology lesson. It’s the scientific word for the appendage. Human’s — I believe all mammals as well — have them lining our lower intestines. They help us absorb nutrients by increasing surface area.

            The word itself, papillae, just means “a small, rounded part which protrudes from an organ/ nipple” from Latin.

      Seems like they meant spines to me? As in those little spikey spines pointing backwards down the esophagus?
