Worms don’t eat dirt. They eat detritus and poop dirt.
Genuinely curious - what is the difference between detritus and dirt?
e,t,u and s
Well, now that I’ve reviewed up the definition of detritus, not a whole lot.
😂 I would say that detritus is coarser and implies the sense being recognizeable as having been part of a larger whole.
I meant it in the sense of organic debris: leaf litter and such. I think of dirt as being finer and relatively uniform. Water + dirt = mud. Water + detritus = clean detritus.What I meant was that worms sustain themselves on organic material, and, after they break it down, it is more incorporated in to the soil.
Theres is a whole other discussion to be had whether dirt ≈ soil…
what is the difference between detritus and dirt?
They’re pretty similar but it seems:
Detritus - fragments of materials that have disintegrated or worn away.
Dirt - Unclean matter, soil or grime.
Close because I’m pretty sure soil is broken down rocks and stuff.
I’m already doing this my diet is mostly coffee… And before I hear all you say coffee isn’t dirt… I can assure you it was GROUND this morning 🤪
by doing this you become the worm.
chicken now try to eat you
If a chicken was bigger than a human and saw us as food that would be terrifying. I’ve seen a chicken kick the shit out of a Hawk, and another wreck a car Street fighter style. They are vicious towards food and threats. They’re just tiny dinosaurs.
Relax. With these economic trends, I’m pretty sure we’ll all end up there.
Except who tf can afford it? Granted, this is the organic stuff, but excuse me if I prefer not to feed my kids chemical-filled junk.
We’ve been eating shit for decades due to capitalism and parasitic billionaires, dirt is a step up.
Pretty much all of human history really. We cannot self govern without segregating into the haves and have nots.
We cannot self govern without segregating into the haves and have nots.
We can self-govern fine without this dichotomy, it’s just that the “haves” don’t want you to think it’s possible and they have the means of reinforcing their narrative, and the have-nots do not have a voice.
While yes, it’s been this way for a long time, it’s not the rule and no more required to our survival than a thousand other false essentialist ideas we’ve discarded along the path through history.
I can only post a classic in response.

In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirtBut the Nine Inch Nails version…
Can you actually eat dirt? Is it good for you?
Even worms don’t “eat dirt” they eat biological material like decaying plant matter. And it depends what kind of “worm” we’re talking about here. There are countless varieties that eat different things.
But animals that eat pure minerals directly from the Earth? Not many.
Yeah that whole niche was kinda taken over by the flora kingdom early on jokes on them though we have SpongeBob on our team! He lives in a pineapple showing the innate superiority of animals over plants.
No they’re more like carrion eaters.
Also an amazing inventor once said “grass taste bad” pretty sure he would know.
I used to like it as a kid, I dunno why. Could be the body demanding minerals or just a kid being stupid
it’s also dirt cheap
Me when my gf asks “would you still love me if I was a worm?”
No. You would be too powerful for me; mo way to make that ethical. Did you not read ‘dune’?
And then lose 90% of that pure energy as heat
I mean eating only dirt would probably kill you, and (if you believe in that sort of stuff) then you can ascend beyond the corporeal.
Trying to picture the size of the bird that eats you
Plants.
