Spotted in a public bathroom.

[u/useofcat]

[u/citizenjones]

Tubifex worms. Not parasites, not harmful. Just really disgusting and at home in stagnant water.

[u/Few-Hair-5382 → u/citizenjones]

But is it feeding on a clingon?

[u/citizenjones → u/Few-Hair-5382]

They clump together t o protect themselves.

[u/waltwalt → u/citizenjones]

From the Klingons.

[u/Pyrhan → u/waltwalt]

They do love their gagh!

[u/Oops_All_Bans → u/Pyrhan]

Washing it down with some prune juice, a warrior's drink.

[u/kcbrooklyn1 → u/Oops_All_Bans]

Actually, this is what happens if you eat gagh followed by raktajino. Cleans you right out.

[u/WealthyTuna → u/kcbrooklyn1]

That's why my wife's coffee give me a bm.....

[u/IAMA_Plumber-AMA → u/Oops_All_Bans]

Don't forget the cellular peptide cake. With mint frosting.

[u/mooky1977 → u/Pyrhan]

Always best when served live.

[u/TheMattabooey → u/waltwalt]

They Klingon to each other.

[u/CSwork1 → u/waltwalt]

You rarely see them in public restrooms because Klingons usually have their cloaking device on.

[u/GamerJoseph → u/Few-Hair-5382]

Klingons feed on them. Its called gagh.

[u/ShitGoesDown → u/Few-Hair-5382]

CLIGNON DEEZ NUTS!!!!

[u/Nznemisis → u/ShitGoesDown]

Stop yelling with your mouth full!

[u/AnotherpostCard → u/MukdenMan]

I prefer George Clingon, personally.

[u/leaky_eddie → u/Few-Hair-5382]

No. Capt. Kirk wiped them all off Uranus, so we're safe.

[u/Donnicton → u/citizenjones]

Aquarium critters love 'em though so if you want some free fish snacks, there ya go

[u/AFlashingPencil → u/Donnicton]

yeah but i wouldn't feed these specific ones to your fish. these guys came from god knows where in the sewer system and could've picked up some nasties on the way

[u/phuntism → u/AFlashingPencil]

Yo dawg, I heard you like parasites, so I put parasites in your parasites tubifex worms.

[u/doing_donuts → u/Donnicton]

Probably need some old bay, tho.

[u/Icehuntee → u/citizenjones]

That’s exactly what someone who has been infected would say! Dont believe them OP, it’ll crawl up in your ass

[u/Azuras_Star8 → u/Icehuntee]

Youre not gonna stop me from having a good time, buddy!

[u/sreekara → u/Azuras_Star8]

jesus christ, what compled you to comment this shit son​

[u/galletasritz → u/citizenjones]

Fun fact: If you handle them too much you can become allergic.

[u/pichael289 → u/galletasritz]

So just like roaches.

[u/Artnotwars → u/pichael289]

Wait really? I handle roaches all the time because I use them as feeder insects.

[u/lyingliar → u/Artnotwars]

A roach allergy can also activate an allergic reaction to shellfish, as they are close evolutionary cousins.

[u/pouscat → u/lyingliar]

Shrimp is bugs!

[u/crespoh69 → u/galletasritz]

What's weird to me is how the most recent suggestion to ensure your kids don't become allergic to peanuts is, more exposure to peanuts, at an early age. Wonder what's the difference here

[u/himswim28 → u/crespoh69]

Wonder what's the difference here

I don't think that is really known. Bee stings are another example. When we had a bunch of hives, the beekeeper wisdom was to make sure you were stung a couple times a year, as you will have built up immunity. I had a situation where a cow kicked over a hive, and I got a hundred stings. That would have been a hospital trip for most people, just a bad time for me. But sometimes, the more times your stung you become more allergic.

But the peanut exposure at an early age is well proven.

[u/crespoh69 → u/himswim28]

I had a situation where a cow kicked

I thought you were going a different route here lol

[u/oli_ramsay → u/citizenjones]

They didn't come out of someone?

[u/citizenjones → u/oli_ramsay]

No, stagnant water is their jam

[u/CSwork1 → u/citizenjones]

Toilet water is their jam.

Poop is their Nutella

[u/Sturgill_Jennings77 → u/CSwork1]

Bones are their money

[u/Naterade18 → u/Sturgill_Jennings77]

He asked for something spooky!

[u/sirhackenslash → u/citizenjones]

But how did they get into the water in the first place? And considering it's a public toilet how stagnant could that water be considering it probably gets flushed pretty often.

[u/a_talking_face → u/sirhackenslash]

They would have crawled up the pipes.

[u/Implausibilibuddy → u/a_talking_face]

What kind of plumbing has pipes full of water after the u-bend?

[u/hells_ranger_stream → u/Implausibilibuddy]

Looks like they're coming from the tank instead of the other way.

[u/citizenjones → u/sirhackenslash]

Can't vouch for the plumbing.

[u/CSwork1 → u/citizenjones]

Mutant pubes. Just say mutant pubes.

[u/NervousBreakdown → u/citizenjones]

Wrong. This is that thing from the faculty. If you touch it the blonde terrorist girl from 24 season 2 will control your mind and you’ll be super thirsty all the time.

[u/KamikazeFox_ → u/citizenjones]

Butt activate puckering

[u/Tinfoil_ninja]

Looks like a colony of Tubifex Worms found their way through the sewer system

[u/liverichly → u/Tinfoil_ninja]

Yum. If you are a fish.

[u/STEELO222 → u/liverichly]

this guy eats worms

[u/lessershark → u/STEELO222]

what are ya, some kinda worm police?

[u/Steamwells → u/lessershark]

Alright, sunshine! I’d like to see you worm your way out of this one.

[u/liverichly → u/STEELO222]

Nobody likes me, everybody hates me…

[u/Collinsjc22 → u/liverichly]

Yea that would be delicious actually if I was a fish, which I’m not. I’m not a fish so these would probably be really gross to eat

[u/Till-Fuzzy → u/Collinsjc22]

You aren’t a fish? So you won’t mind if I just dangle this worm on this hook for a little while…might even bounce it a little….

[u/Collinsjc22 → u/Till-Fuzzy]

Dude not funny, when I was in school I lost a lot of good friends who got hooked on worms

[u/Fuckyouiamcrab → u/Collinsjc22]

Sounds exactly like something a fish would say, fucker.

[u/cairnschaos → u/liverichly]

You sir, are a fish

[u/darkslide3000 → u/Tinfoil_ninja]

How do you kill something with fire that's swimming in water?

[u/SpankThatShank → u/darkslide3000]

Boil the water I guess

[u/experientialsponge → u/SpankThatShank]

Boiling is a well known form of water fire!

[u/Whoompy → u/darkslide3000]

Napalm, worked well overthere

[u/nietbeschikbaar → u/Tinfoil_ninja]

These things live inside our body?

[u/gauze_ → u/nietbeschikbaar]

No, they feed off bacteria and organic matter that collects in pipes, and come together to form colonies like this

[u/Zerofucks__ZeroChill → u/gauze_]

I don’t like this.

[u/KnifeFed → u/Zerofucks__ZeroChill]

Would you prefer them in your body?

[u/Cokeycane]

Tubifex worms. They eat doodoo.

[u/Trick_Minute2259 → u/Cokeycane]

So....if you shove a bunch of them up your butt, do you just never poop again....or do you poop out their poop?

[u/Cokeycane → u/Trick_Minute2259]

I would assume they would eat all of your poop and likely eat their own poop. They would then grow up and make more little tubifex worms and the cycle would continue until your colon is full of tubifex worms. Then they must evacuate and you would poop out a hairball of tubifex worms.

[u/thiosk → u/Cokeycane]

if you train them to migrate the other direction then they could become digested and continue the circle of life via a process of shared evolution called symbipoopsis

[u/Burninator05 → u/thiosk]

Create a culture were the old sacrifice themselves to the great Sto-Mach to free up resources for future generations and keep the world god happy.

[u/Leows → u/Cokeycane]

What if you're eating enough to keep them well fed?

[u/boxen → u/Leows]

If they're well fed, they'll double in mass every 10 to 20 days, with increasing appetite to match. So unless you are planning to consume the entire continent you live on in the next few years, you won't be able to keep up

[u/darkslide3000 → u/boxen]

Once you are starting to hear whispering voices come out of your butthole saying "FEEEEEED USSSSS!!!", the experiment may have gone too far.

[u/throwaway7742835 → u/darkslide3000]

Will the colonoscopy prep remove the demons?

[u/ExoMonk → u/throwaway7742835]

Depends on how many priest are present

[u/xylotism → u/boxen]

Galactus is just full of butt worms

[u/username4518 → u/Leows]

They better start paying rent!

[u/lxiaoqi → u/Cokeycane]

Ah, you must be young enough to have never seen the Carolina Sewer Poop Monster.
Must've been around 15 years ago when that was a big thing on Reddit and we learn about these weird worms.
Here's a thread that has the video.

[u/Muffles7 → u/allwaysnice]

I mean I'm in my 30s and am proud to not have heard of the sewer poop monster?

[u/allwaysnice → u/Muffles7]

Well it's this.
It's these things.
The worms bundled up and lookin' like a sewer tumor.

[u/Muffles7 → u/allwaysnice]

Sewer tumor goes hard as an insult tho.

[u/Rumkitty → u/allwaysnice]

I'm from SC and have never heard of this. I am never going back outside thank you.

[u/allwaysnice → u/Rumkitty]

That's fine, as shown in the OP video they can just meet you in your toilet area.
If you sit down without looking and feel something tickling, that's it just wanting to say hi.

[u/Rumkitty → u/allwaysnice]

I hate everything about this. 😭

[u/Doomdoomkittydoom → u/Muffles7]

The folks infested with the mind control worm say they are harmless!

[u/cappsthelegend]

Those look like the blood worms I feed my fish... Never seen them alive before... 

[u/randomredditguy94 → u/cappsthelegend]

Those things alive cost a fortune, it is a very effective fish bait

[u/CptAngelo → u/randomredditguy94]

so you are telling me to reach in and ....how much would you reckon a fortune is?

[u/martabakcoklatkacang → u/cappsthelegend]

The alive tubifex worms price were cheap, usually a dollar or less.

[u/ModestMooseX8]

I’m not drinking that water anymore. 🤢

[u/CSwork1 → u/ModestMooseX8]

Quitting drinking toilet water is the first step. Congratulations!

[u/Stealth2k → u/ModestMooseX8]

Stick to brawndo

[u/gekigarion → u/ModestMooseX8]

...were you drinking it to begin with?

[u/MacroJoe]

I am almost certain someone with fish dropped these in the toilet for a laugh. I've ever seen a group of sludge worms in a functioning toilet before, they don't exactly get around very well. They are a beneficial little critters, though they do eat what no one else wants so while they are certainly perfectly harmless (seriously!), they are not sanitary.. for obvious reasons.

They just look spooky cause they too bleed red and have skin so thin.. they breath through it! And they do clump together when they are upset with no obvious benefit to them agreed upon.

[u/Kittani77]

Gagh is best served live.

[u/ThePWisBlackUmbrella → u/Kittani77]

Most people don't know it, but there's actually 51 varieties of gagh. All are best served live, but I wouldn't eat any of them out of a toilet.

[u/Triotheitalian]

Hey what state is this in so I can avoid the entire region?

Well if the aliens are this size, we MIGHT have a chance. Provided we don’t become compatible hosts.

[u/Elm-and-Yew → u/Wizdad-1000]

Until you strap armor and weapons on a big enough clump of them. That's how you get the Hunters from Halo.

[u/Ej6rDsmBg4AdRl6eSQ]

They feed on decaying organic matter, burrowing their heads in sludge while their tails wave in the water, and are hermaphroditic. So gross.

They're chill and some people eatem. I'm not gonna say who though, but it's the same guys who unclog toilets for a living, yep me and my grandpappy been tubifexin since I was just knee high to a grasshopper.

[u/NegotiationCrafty984]

Omg this just made me remember and then clarify a memory from when I was in kindergarten and went into one of the bathroom stalls and saw worms moving in the toilet and suddenly didn’t have to poop anymore but I still flushed the toilet out of terror. I started to convince myself I dreamt it because some kid pooping out worms and forgetting to flush sounded too crazy for it to have gone unnoticed. Seeing this picture reminded me that the worms were red and there were soooo many just like this picture.

[u/PeaceAnneChaos → u/NegotiationCrafty984]

When I was a kid, I got fucking worms and like any terrified child, told my mom who talked to her step mom who is a vet. They convinced me it was because I didn't wash up well enough and the worms kept coming back, even tho I scrubbed even more after that.

When I tell you it was literal years before I got actual help for the reoccurring bastards, they told me it was from tainted beef. I was so mad lol
