It sounds like a joke but it's true, #tomato seeds do survive the human digestive passage. That's how the wild relatives are distributed: internally by animals (called '#endozoochory').
If not dying during the #sewage treatment, #tomatoe plants can grow nearby rivers, well-fertilised by human waste. You can call them truly 'turdmatoes'.
