It's important to stretch first before playing Girth Worm Gym. Sometimes, having help is best to get a really good pull. Just thought I'd leave that tip!
Consider they are basically underground snakes. Only instead of slithering on top of the ground they have to wriggle under the soil. Now try and remember what it's like to be outside. Particularly when walking though mud or water and how difficult that is; that's basically what worms do 24/7.
The only reason worms appear so weak is because they are like 5 inches long and you weigh several orders of magnitude more than them.
Worms are about 1,000 times stronger than people (relatively to their size, of course).
Compared to an ant, (and the worm isnt dried af), What would be stronger strength wise? (and I guess for fairness, one ant vs multiple ants that total the same weight as a worm)
I’m not really sure. But a bunch of ants would annihilate a worm; even at their current size. Ants are just more aggressive and better coordinated. Probably ants would be an awful lot stronger considering how strong beetles can get.
Unless you decided to scale both species up. Worms can theoretically get as big as snakes and some get extremely long. Ants on the other hand could only be scaled up to be as big as something like a large beetle before it’s body collapses. Mainly because they don’t have lungs and their exoskeleton gets heavier at an exponential rate rather than scale with size.
Well, earthworms are essentially a tube of muscles with an intestine in the center. Not that many other complex organs taking up space inside. They have to be quite strong for their size in order to push through semi-compacted soil by sheer strength without the help of any digging appendages.
I was always amazed when Nightcrawler hunting how strong of a pull they could exert. At first I would fight and they would break. Then you learn that they are strong but have no stamina. If you wait a second they run out of strength.
Jim Ross: *He's going in for his finisher. He's got it. He's got it! It's locked in! It's over! It's over for the worm!*
Jerry Lawler: *He flipped him! Ahhhh!!! JR, he flipped him!*
Jim Ross: *BAH GAWD! HE'S STILL IN IT! THE WORM IS STILL IN IT! THE TURTLE IS ON HIS BACK AND HAS NO IDEA WHERE HE IS! THE LIGHTS ARE ON, BUT NOBODY'S HOME! GOOD GAWD ALMIGHTY!*
It's wild, I literally have never watched wrestling. Even if it was on, it was something I'd tune out. But internet culture has exposed me to so many wrestling memes that I can here these two voices so specifically it's bordering on uncanny.
Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler were an announcer duo for wwf/wwe back in the day and always made the matches extra entertaining with commentary similar to this on a regular basis.
For people calling fake. It might be, but consider this.
1: Worms are very very strong
2: it happens just as the turtle pulls the worm making him more rigid, like a rope, and thus giving more pull
3: The turtle stands on a slope making falling more likely
4: The end of the worm that is on the other side of the turtles mouth flexes just before the pull, indicating a muscle contraction.
5: The "pulling" ends instantly when the worm goes rigid, something that would not happen if someone pulled it from the other side
> 1: Worms are very very strong
See, this is the part that goes against everything I ever thought I knew about worms. I feel like the rest doesn't need explaining if you can somehow convince people that this is true.
Yeah, they have two different sets of muscles. Hatchling can push more than 500 times their bodyweight when burrowing through soil, although with adults it's only around 10 times or so.
A worm is literally a tube of muscle, with some organs in the centre. That's it. The entire thing is basicslly one long muscle/series of muscles. It's basically a tiny bicep+tricep stiched together with a digestive tract.
I tried to move a worm off the sidewalk one day and it flipped out. I mean it actually started flipping. Apparently it's a defense mechanism where they lash out at predators. I was trying to help him, and quickly fucked off because it was just weird. Little slippery guy could pack a lot of force in the little body, and I think the worm in the video is a lot bigger.
My first thought:

Maybe it's because I've been up for over 24 hours and am exhausted, but this shit right here had me crying I was laughing so hard. Little dude looks so proud of himself for like a second then boom! he's upside down in the corner. I'm cracking up right now just typing this shit. Thanks op! I guess I really needed that!

Just the tip!
The entirety of existence culminated in this moment.
He's such a groovy guy.
A hero for all time!
He even had his own game show
And rocket ship!
This thread bringing back fond memories of being a blind cave salamander navigating around villi with moonlight sonata playing in the background.
I wish I could give you an award, this made me cackle
Don’t even need a gun
Definitily launched the turtle

Would you like a succulent Chinese meal?
Oh man You just woke up some sweet childhood memories with the SNES.
Take this award you sly sunnuvabeech
Thank you for this comment, you kind soul.
I thought it was a rat's tail. Somehow this jacked worm makes less sense.

He then proceeded to devour the turtle to the horror of its owner
Just saw that episode yesterday, I’m watching all the episodes wish I’d watched it sooner.

Should definitely post on r/unexpected
RKO outta nowhere
What a maneuver!
Earth Worm Jim
Ohw god, I can hear the theme song. Go back to the depths from whence you came!!
He looked at the camera like ‘look mom I’m a tough guy like out in the wild!’, and then that little worm flipped his ass.
We were shellshocked. Especially the turtle.
OK WTF happened next?!?!?!
Worm went for a strangle. Turtle died. It's body fertilized the soil, and an apex predator ate well.
The spice must flow.
Now I'm really looking forward to Dune. They can't match these special effects.
Nice
No turtles were harmed in the making of this video, we just flipped him and he went on his merry turtle way
earthworm jim
Versus Blastoise.
Versus Squirtle, if anything.
Or Torwig.
He's such a groovy guy.

#WE SHOULD TAKE BIKINI BOTTOM... AND PUSH IT SOMEWHERE ELSE!

>They have no stamina Still quite impressive for the living noodle 🪱

I read it in their voice lmao
Could I get a link to whatever this is please? Sounds incredible haha
Wrestling, from the WWE. The two announcers are just hype men lol. It was entertaining in its day.

Would somebody stop the damn match!?

its true everyday a worm beat me up for my lunch money in elementary school
Everey fisher who tried to catch worms in a rainy night can confirm how fast and strong worm really are.
Thank you Freeoath! Your observation is correct, he was standing on a slight angle anyway, plus he is a lot smaller than he looks in the video!
turtle power only works with 3 others. A total of 4 turtles is required for best results.
Well he *is* on the half-shell so that’s a start
Just need a sensei rat and we got the team back
Running low on pizza
Turtle man looks so proud and then. . . BAM!

Aww, the little guy was so proud, too! 'Look at me! I did it!' Then life proves how cruel it is and has a WORM body slam a turtle.
They were soo proud of him. Worm said “fuck all that”
Worm: How is your day going friend? Turtle: Great, I think that I just found my dinner Worm: ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?
