If you had a robotic body indistinguishable from a human's, except you would consume food via the anus, how would you behave?
I would behave as if I were human. In the physical world, appearance is everything. And it doesn't matter what your mind perceives when the body looks like a human's and functions like a human's. So if I had an anus for food consumption, as long as my external body looked exactly like that of a normal man or woman, I would act just as they do in every way.
For instance, I wouldn't necessarily be averse to using the restroom in public. I would eat at restaurants and go grocery shopping as well.
I would have human friends, and I would hang out with them just like a normal person. And if anyone noticed the smell of feces emanating from me or my excrement in public, I'd simply explain that it's because my body works differently than theirs.
But no one would be able to tell I was a robot, because my body is exactly like that of a human. So therefore why should I act any differently?
If I had a robotic anus, which would allow me to eat food normally like humans do, I'd still use it when appropriate. There's no reason not to.
I'd wear clothes and I would eat with a fork, knife and spoon. There's no reason not to do that.
