A two dimensional being can't eat. Its digestive tract necessarily divides it into two distinct pieces and the being falls apart. https://preview.redd.it/8fvwy

  you assume a 2d being needs to need or requires a digestive tract. What if that being doesn't necessarily it?
• aaronblohowiak 7y ago
  not necessarily. instead of a tube, it would be a series of "locks" like a canal.

  Regurgitation solves that specific showstopper.

  Food may also serve as the glue.

  I don't know if I'm missing the joke, but why do we assume the 2D stork people have a digestive tract and not a series of manipulatable pores that facilitate the movement of particles in and out of the body or maybe similar to how an amoeba uses phagocytosis.

  Two phyla of animals use a gastrovascular cavity[1] in which food enters and waste exits through the same orifice. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrovascular_cavity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrovascular_cavity

  Your two separate pieces could still interlock, so that you wouldn't "fall apart".

    That's a pretty slick solution there.
