No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I don't have your answer, but I'd like to add to the question.
You specified "nutrients", but what about the other crap in what we eat?
IF the coffee DOES push everything out before you can absorb every nutrient, is it also preventing us from absorbing all the sugars, calories, preservatives, micro plastics and whatever else we might not want?
Might be a "yes, but" situation that evens out in the end. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ I don't know, I'm just throwing out ideas.
Oooh, I didn't think of that. "Eat all you want without gaining weight with this one simple trick"
(the one simple trick is diarrhea)
Or eating fingers...
Isn't that just a crappier version of bulimia?
Excessive laxative use is a thing bulimics sometimes do. It will ruin your insides so probably not a good idea.
Totally. And then comes the dependency on laxatives... They're constipated without them, which causes hemorrhoids.
I see what you did there
If that worked I wouldn't have spent so many months to go from overweight to normal, while still drinking a litre and half of coffee per day.
Our bodies aren't 100% efficient when it comes to nutrient absorption anyway, so considering there's a number of other factors at play, it's probably making minimal difference.
When we eat, the food added to our stomachs signals the large intestine (colon) to get a move on and make room for incoming food. Caffeine can help stimulate this response, but since most nutrient absorption occurs in the small intestine, we're not really losing anything of value. There is some absorption in the colon, but that's mostly water being removed so we can have formed stools instead of chronic diarrhea.
