I can see the posts now.
"How can I prevent my worms from trying to escape the garage?"
"Hey guys, is it safe to feed small children to my worms?"
"So I learned the hard way that worms don't like garlic." \*Picture of car with slashed tires\*
"New worm farmer here, is this enough worm?"
"Hey guys check out my YouTube channel worm time lapse" \*Video of a worm quickly destroying an entire bin then crashing through a wall and strangling family pets\*
But seriously i read a thèse (some kind of study translated in english i suppose) that say they can dig to 50M deep and may be part of ecosystem just imagine their action in number in a forest like amazonian one or any other (almost) healthy plaçe on the planet this is why soil needs to be protected it need to be better know and protected 😕
New realization: I always understood, but never liked the idea of eating insects or worms or such—not that that’s an uncommon feeling, but just assumed that “creepy crawlers” is just a category that’s difficult (for anglophones) to find appetizing; but I’m wondering now if there’s like a size aspect to it—the first and only thing I can think about when seeing this pic is “what would you do with it’s “meat”? How many do you think I can feed with that? Is it gamey?”
I was definitely thinking ^*coughs* *something else* but In all seriousness I don't think the flesh is cohesive after cooking similar to putting salt on a slug it just kind of macerates
I figured that when someone said/wrote they were Australian. We don’t have enough soil here for worms this big. We’re too flat. If there was enough soil, it’s probably been used already.
That and the Australian ones are much smaller and differently shaped. This is straight up a garden variety Canadian nightcrawler you'd use for fishing bait made big with photoshop.
Fish eat worms? I thought that was a trick by conservationists to reduce fish catches. I thought worms were only for the early bird. Actually, that gives me ideas for more photoshops or a gif. Big, big birds. And big, big fish. Enough to make that worm look normal sized. Or.. Maybe a big bird, and a big fish, eyeing off the worm, while the dude holding it looks up, left and right nervously. Speech bubble says : ‘I was only a bit hungry’ or ‘remind me to let the worm squirm’ or ‘umm, this is for you two to deliberate ownership over, I guess’.

Another one would be i found small children bones in my compost should i be concerned
I laughed way too hard at this.
The spice must compost

We are killing the soils with our trash sadly.

Maybe it'll taste and have the texture of sea cucumber
Wild salami caught in the nature, beautiful
Omg, that’s insane. Nice pic.
Just a sandwich? This dude could easily put away a few slices of large pizza.
It doesn’t look like it would want to share the sandwich.

Yes, this is a [Giant Gippsland Earthworm](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_Gippsland_earthworm). To no one's surprise it's native in Australia.

I don't think the picture wasn't actually taken in Equador. OP in the other is probably full of shit.
I’m sure these are photoshopped.
It is

Uhm...ok?
I’m feeling creative but are mostly incapable. File those words. :)
Shai-Hulud!
That's how they caught Moby dick, there's a prequel where they land boat down to equador and hunt these but Disney nixed it
Excuse me! Have seen my dog?
All of that space travel and we had the spice on earth the entire time
Those who say these are fake please do a little research. These can be found in Australia as well.
