Unreliable memory.. but here’s a less opinionated, and closer to original sounding one.. although the source is dodgy.
And she felt hungry. And that also made no sense. The stomach was a bag for digesting food. It wasn’t supposed to issue commands. The Auditors could survive quite well by exchanging molecules with their surroundings and making use of any local source of energy. That was a fact.
Try telling that to the stomach. She could feel it. It was sitting there, grumbling. She was being harassed by her internal organs. Why the … why the. . why had they copied internal organs? Yuerkkk.
Note from the future: I asked a bunch of LLMs for Terry Pratchett quotes on the human stomach, and while there’s no guarantee any of them are actual non-hallucinated quotes (in different conversations I got many different ones while no single one came up twice), I think they’re all pretty good:
”All he knew was that his stomach had just started investigating some of the more revolutionary options available to it.”
“The stomach is smarter than the mind, which is why it likes to make all the important decisions.”
″His stomach was making the kind of noises that normally precede the arrival of a self-propelled meal.”
“His stomach felt like it was trying to digest a live weasel while attempting to escape through his boots.”
“The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it. And the trouble with having an empty stomach is that it wants food all the time.”
“The stomach is an essential part of the nervous system. It tells the brain what it wants far more clearly than the brain manages to tell it.”
“The human stomach is an amazing thing. It can stretch to accommodate all sorts of things. In theory, anyway. It just doesn’t appreciate it when you try to prove it.”
