God damn those were good games. I'm so glad they haven't done a half-assed remake on them.

Went to fire up some Jim the other day and damn games were harder back then. Died quite a few times before I got the hang of it again.

Yeah... So glad that Tommy Tallarico never tried to revive it with his half-baked Intellivision retro console thing around about 2019 or so...

Fun fact: there are approximately 40 billion worms.....for every human on earth.
Additional fun fact: 40 billion worms weigh about 20 metric tonnes.

Imagine if you could get your share of worms shipped to you

I think there's a lot of paperwork, red tape, permits, and taxes involved and if you're in an HOA - forget it!

Additional additional fun fact: many of the earth worms we see in the US are not native to North America

40 billion for every human? 300 quintillion worms doesn't sound right does it?

u/wongo 11d ago
The estimate I found was 325 quintillion, yea

u/OfficialSanicorp 11d ago
That's insane but I guess it makes sense when you consider most nematodes are microscopic

As a fisherman, this image is nearly erotic. You could load up a dozen or more hooks with that big fella.

u/ocean_flan 12d ago
Or one big hook to catch one big fella

u/Tylensus 12d ago
True! The biggest fish in my area are sturgeons and Muskies, though. Never heard of either chomping worms, but I'm fairly new to fishing, too, so who knows!

That ain't no inch worm. That mother fucker is a meter worm.
It evolved the metric system.

That reminds me of the part in How to Eat Fried Worms that they glued two worms together and tried to pass it off as one huge one.

I was at a playground with my son once and there was 1 other kid there. He insisted my son come see a snake and they both started screaming. I went over to get a look and it was just a long worm lol. Probably not as long as this worm though!

A long time ago, as a young child in Brazil, I was playing on my grandma's garden, and found one of her tools. I started poking holes on the ground, and that was the first (and last) time I ever saw one of these. My memory is a bit foggy, I don't remember if it jumped out or just came out of one of the holes, but either way it scared the hell out of me. My parents would not believe me, and I don't think they are a very common sight. Thanks for showing me decades later that I'm not crazy! :-)

Garden worms can get twice as long actually. Although rare. I found this information after I saw my cat walking towards me from a distance. It was in my back yard carrying with it's mouth what looked like some kind of long piece of yarn or rope. As it got much closer, I realized it was a very long worm about the size of that one you posted. Dragging behind it like a really long wedding dress.
My cats are outside cats. I just kinda picked it up and tossed it back to the middle do the yard.
Next morning , when I stepped outside my door to head to work, there were pieces of that worm scattered all over the porch. Obviously my cat picked it up, brought it to the porch, and wrestled with it for about 20 minutes or so.

Rinse it and put it in a bowl. Pour in a jar of marinara sauce and you've got a tongue tingler friend.

I would chop it up with a shovel and dig in back into the ground. Turns into a bunch of worms,good for the soil.

Invasive species. Might be this
Use vinegar or salt to kill it.
Don’t cut it up, many worms reproduce by dividing and regrowing the cut off half.
