Worms were wonderful, weird, wild, wet, wobbly, wondrous, worldly, worrisome wriggling wigglers whispering warm wishes when the world was wee.
Why
Noah Ludford Why what?
well...
Celia R. Well worded!
Wow! 🖖🙂💕
Someone must be really satisfied with that alliteration in the title.
You know it!
I was so close, but it was ruined by weird coming after wiggly. The rhythm would have felt so much better and it would have introduced a little bit of a rhyme too had it been the inverse.
Yes, yes I am.
@@ramshacklealex7772 should have been weird wiggly wild
Its me!!
In the last segment I'm reminded of the Futurama episode Parasites Lost in which Fry eats an egg sandwich from a gas station vending machine and is subsequently infected with worms that make him immortal.
A man ate gas station sushi, this is what happened to his brain...
That episode was hilarious
My favorite one as well. Him being smart was awesomeness 🤣
10:20 The worm still remembering the training after decapitation proves, once more, that management is useless.

I just started eating spaghetti. Never fails when I get a SciShow notice.
RainyDayLady the worms who was about to hijack your brain: ABANDON SHIP precedes to run with its mucus legs
😅
Dya like it chewy? The Chewier the better imo.
Stuff like that weirdly doesn't bother me.
WOW! I literally just bought 100 worms, got myself a compost bag, and 2 Gallon Chapin sprayer so that these lovely worms can give me fresh black gold for my garden.
Geoffrey Chavez nice don't forget to add tomatoe sauce!
ruclips.net/video/vQtcZEiZokE/видео.html
From now on I'm referring to worm castings as black gold lol
"Plenarians can retain their memory for at least 14 days. That raises the question 'what happens when you cut off his head?'"
Yes that was definitely the next logical question. 🤣
04:51 Oh god, it wasn’t just “Red fluid, but literally blood as we know it”
Actually, I'm pretty sure that it's hemolymph (which, while functionally the same as blood, is technically different), since I think tube worms have an open circulatory system

Earth worm cant see or hear but can feel.
Fisherman: let me just stab this whole hook into this little thing and use it as bait while it wiggles in pain and agony
@@eaglesfan701 not really, just likes feeling superior
Its what must be done to catch the yummies under the water.
2:34
The worms who thought it was safe to crawl on asphalt: LIAR
Or slugs that try to do the same thing, went from grass to pavement, sun came out, got fried
It's sad that we'll only see Olivia on replays. I wish her the best.

Why what happened?im new on the channel
@@imaybestupid2045She died of liberalism, it’s fatal.
@@agentmuellerYou're soooooooo funny. It almost makes up for the rest of your shortcomings!
daily reminder: some ribbon worms will eat themselves if they cant find any food
Sounds ok to me
Ouroboros imagine if like that... or 69
That's.......,,.oh God. I thought I had it bad.
Your body eats itself all the time
I'd eat me.
Fun fact: The German name for the 'earth worm' is 'Regenwurm' which literally translates to 'rain worm'. It's literally named like that because you usually see them after a rain storm.
And they call raccoons “laundry bears” because they wash their food before they eat it and it looks like they’re washing clothes.
Aw man I thought she was back before I realized it was a compilation video
Me too haha.
annie wait she left
It's a shame. Imo, she is second only to Hank himself. (She didn't start out that way, but she improved immensely)
Who is she
Jeebus Olivia she was one of the most popular female narrator from these different PBS science channels
so what do you do for a living?
"I'm a qualified worm grunter"
This is the wholesome content the world needs right now
Who else got hit a bit in the feels when they saw Olivia and remembered she left sci-show.
she sucked
she received so much cyberbullying ☝️🙄 It sucks :-s
@@Stjcb_7 really had no idea. People really do be jobless if they have nothing better to do than hate
@@neroangelo1409 I bet you live a miserable life. Good.
really?! what happened?
Me: Doctor, I've been having a bit of allergies this Spring....
Doctor: LET ME GET THE LEECHES!!!! I, uh, mean worms.
Me: You know, I think I'll just buy an extra box of tissue, but thanks, you know.
Leeches are still used in micro vascular surgery, they contain anti coagulant better than man made anti coagulants.
What doctor are you going to thats giving you leeches for allergies
Leaches are worms, in fact they're relatively close relatives of earthworms
@@gingermcgingin1733 yeah leaches too belong to the phylum Annelida with earthworms.

when i was a toddler, my mother told me this... after a rain, i would go outside, pick up the worms that were on the concrete struggling, kiss them then put them in the dirt... I felt bad watching these worms slowly die on the concrete, so that was my solution, lol....
to be a kid again.... ! :-)
ruclips.net/video/vQtcZEiZokE/видео.html
... why kiss them???
@@JubioHDX i was just a kid... and thought it would make em feel better..? lol
"Jellyfish, for example, get along fine with a mouth that is also
an anus."
Oh, Hank.
Uhhhh.....

They're the only ones that can use toilet paper as napkin.
Fun fact: years back, we had a cat named Jingle. One day my dad was busy planting in the flowerbed and found an earthworm while Jingle was snooping around the yard, so he decided to see what Jingle would do with it.
Jingle, being Jingle, decided it looked like nice snack - so he ate it.
SciShow: Why doesn't watching scary movies count as cardio?
You lose calories when you watch them, so I count them as cardio.

I keep worms as pets, kind of, vermiculture/wormbin :)
To anyone on the fence about worms, they barely even scratched the surface of what I think is the most interesting group of worms: Annelids. While earthworms are interesting in their own right with colorful and/or large variants (for colors my favorite is the fried egg worm and for size the longest earthworm measured was 21 feet long), the most interesting annelids are the ones that barely ever get discussed.
While still well known, leeches are more interesting than you'd think. Some are colorful, they can have anywhere between 2 and 10 eyespots, there are terrestrial variants that move by grabbing the surface with their mouth and anus, and some aren't parasitic and instead swallow other worms whole.
Some worms are filter feeders like the Tube Worms mentioned in the video. Most of them feed with feather-like appendages which in some species have eyespots, they are aptly named Feather Worms. Another example are the Christmas Tree Worms that have two filter feeding appendages that resemble christmas trees and have eyes in their gills.
Some of these worms even superficially resemble arthropods (spiders, crabs, bugs, etc), having mandibles, antenna, eyes and/or rudimentary "legs". Some of my favorite examples are the Bobbit Worms which snatch fish and pull them underground, Sea Mice, Ragworms, Bearded Fireworms among many, many others.
I didn't even touch on some of the other interesting groups of this phylum (bristleworms, spoon worms, peanut worms, etc), let alone the other really interesting worms out there like velvet worms, arrow worms, ribbon worms, penis worms, lancelets (close relatives to vertebrates) and so on.
This is the first time I watched even the first part of a compilation - you had a good host there! Thanks for adding the Compilation warning.
How about the Alaskan Bull Worm?
I heard that this worm was once destroyed an entire underwater city.
I love worms. I used to wrap around my fingers they felt so cool on my hand
Sicko
That is bizarre but I'm not going to judge! Sounds like you're an interesting person :D
Yeah, me too
Olenhol I bet you do weird stuff too, buddy.
Yep
Might just be anecdotal but I have dermatographia and I find that, when I'm really sick, it doesn't affect me. When I'm healthy I'm back to my itchy self and reaching for the antihistamines.

Interesting!
I raised an absolute massive amount (between 2000-8000 when I had to leave) of European earthworms for about a year-year and a half.
I started doing so to help break down compost, generate rich soil, and to sell them (the soil and worms) gardeners, and to fishers.
I had to travel across country due to a severe family medical emergency, but while there I was in my own accident causing me to lose my job (at first it was supposed to be temporary but after needing 6+ months of recovery it became more 'real') followed by an additional medical and financial emergency with myself, and another medical emergency with my family which really was the absolute last strike to getting my jobs back. Oh and this job was mostly unrelated to the worms - I started dealing with them on the side both as a personal project for my own enjoyment, and to generate a bit of additional income while using my own passions for biology.
I gotta say, I was surprisingly devastated to lose all my little wriggling buddies. I still want to start over and go for it again when I'm able to scrape together enough to afford another medium/large setup. This goal is a bit further away, especially now due to the social distancing and whatnot.
Anyway, worms can be cute lil wriggling guys, I miss ya my friends.
I also miss the small ecosystem that formed around them, including a small family of birds that settled next to my front door. They started out skiddish but after a bit they too became quite friendly, even coming up to me to eat little treats.
It was a pretty enjoyable little situation.
That last segment about worms, cleanliness and immune diseases kind of makes sense. I've often said, let your kids go play in the dirt and swamp water. Me and my sister grew up in the woods, playing in the trees and dirt, eating wild thimbleberries and blackberries, catching water creatures with nets from the pond and stuff like that. We rarely get sick. Its the people that religiously disinfect Everything that seem to get sick most often. Their immune systems never get exposed to anything and when something finally makes it past their disinfectant barrier its a strong one and they get sick. Let all the weak viruses in also. Let your body learn how to deal with them. Then when a stronger one comes along, your body has an idea of what to do. You might get the sniffles for a day or 2 but the person disinfecting everything is going to get a full blown flu.
Life begets life right? No church
I agree with this so much!
I don't know, I grew up exactly like what you described and i'm always getting sick.
Correlation does not imply causality.
As a fan of fishing (or more importantly relaxing by the water) round worms for the win!
It’s 4am and I’m tired and read “as a fan of fisting” I’m going to sleep now...
Michael looks good through the years
I had an extremely traumatizing experience as a child when my dog got heartworms and I ran inside to my mom screaming "mom! mom! Gus is pooping spaghetti!!" 🤮🍝
put me right off all pasta until literally just a few years ago
Who knew a worm would cause so much destruction to an underwater city
Matt and crew brighten my day!:-)💜
"They can remember things after you cut out of their heads"
I bet they remember their own beheading.
there's a joke somewhere there
The horror
😱😱😱😱😱
Fascinating compilation! Thanks everyone.
People who are not afraid of worms: touches worms* me: still scared to go in the bathroom at night
Wait, they said that if you have worms you probably don't have allergies and asthma? Oh, boy! What is wrong with me?
Im fine with the worms if it allows me to eat whatever I want
You had me at, "worm-da-ful"
Nothing like going to sleep like listening to a video about worms and ads.
Wow, a nearly 23 minute *SciShow* upload... about worms.
_A worm crawled up my arm and rested on my neck. When he whispered into my ear, I felt a tingle... He told me how to make a weapon to help us against our enemies. And here's the thing... it's made of worms... it even fires worms... but it stings like you wouldn't believe._
What's that strangeness from?
What is this???
@@noahludford3667 It's an audiolog from System Shock 2. If you enjoyed Bioshock, Bethesda's Prey, Doom 3 and other first person shooters similar to them you should go play it. The graphics are ancient but the story is excellent.

@Glenn Griffon ohhhh thanks for the suggestion. That would be fun to try out, although I’ve never played shooting games before.
So many hosts! I love it
Me too
I love watching seagulls doing the worm dance where they stomp their feet until worms come up
I used to regularly walk home down UK paved streets in the rain in the middle of the night. Most of the streets here had small front gardens with low walls between them and the flagstone-paved footway: When it rained I had to be careful where I trod, because all the snails and slugs would spread out over the wet stones, but they were quite randomly distributed. The earthworms, on the other hand, emerged from the right angle between the vertical walls and paving, and the stretched out to full length at 45 degrees to the wall with only the tip of their tails remaining in their burrows. I used to walk to town and back most nights--about 3 miles each way--and I witnessed this many times. From what SciShow says, I'd imagine that the stretched themselves to full length, both to get a good wash, and to maximise their skin area for absorbing oxygen. The snails, on the other hand were just maximising their grazing while the going was easier with the extra lubrication.
I love worms because they often look so simple, but are actually really complex!! From earthworms to polychaetes, I love those little dudes and every other one in between.
Those "Ray Charles" of the ground as some would say 💯
Love it when I come across a scishow vid where long haired Michael is hosting🤩😘
Out-out are the lights-out all!
And, over each quivering form,
The curtain, a funeral pall,
Comes down with the rush of a storm,
While the angels, all pallid and wan,
Uprising, unveiling, affirm
That the play is the tragedy, “Man,”
And its hero, the Conqueror Worm.
That was interesting. Keep up the good work.
Papa nurgle loves you all, his blessings are many.
I love worms. My compost piles have TONS of worms in them. I like watching them burrow down into the pile.
Thanks for your videos ❤️❤️❤️
For defense, I use a combination of the Hero’s Leathers, Diamond Circlet, and Soldier’s Greaves, gives like 86 defense points and also comes with the bonus of one attack up ala Diamond Circlet
I would like to thank my dad for taking me to the farm and letting me loose. The germs and worms I got probably helped me not have allergies and asthma. I still miss the chickens :(
I have a total crush on Michael
Worms are such a interesting creature, as a gardener they are so important
16:45 Sudden flashback to Fry from futurama
No arms.
No legs.
No existential crisis.
Just worms.
I wonder if that's why toddlers are so adamant to eat and walk around dirt.
I don't eat fish that hasn't been previously frozen. I found a wiggly nematode in my salmon once.
to be TOTALLY honest i'm REALLY glad i did do and will save worms lives by making sure they are NOT stepped on or run over
Though it may be messed up to think this i hope that this channel can get much bigger so that it spreads its messages further
I love your videos
Love it when you work hard for the aliteration...alien approved aliteration!
You had me at the title
That settles it. I am eating boogers, biting nails, licking toe, tossing the occasional salad, and drinking alcohol in moderation so I should live to 120! Thanks Sci Show!
great vid many worms
I’d be confident in ruling out shipwrecks as being vital to the lifecycle of deep sea vent tube worms, as they evolved long before any ships were around to wreck
Worms are some of the most successful animals to have ever exsisted and one of the oldest animals.
Wow, nice Hair dude!
I really love these compilations. Makes it easier for us and them to do with content.
Olivia, if you're out there watching, I miss you, and hope you're doing well!
As a lifelong sufferer of allergies, I’d try worm infestation then then suffer more.
11pm.....20 minute video on worms...worms with no mouth nor bum...God Bless America.
This video reminded me to give my dog her heart worm meds today.
Wormderful. Bit of a stretch. Love it! Where do kings keep their armies?
In their sleevies! 🤣
I've eaten tube worms that look just like those. In US Samoa they are a popular delicacy....they call it Pacific caviar, and smear it on rustic crusty bread or pitas with some smoked pork (island boar) sliced thin and sometimes a malage of minced herbs green onions and something green that tasted bright and sour.
Don't give worms credit.
Their fiscal responsibility is horrible!
They wriggle out of their debts
@@julianshepherd2038
How dare you Sir?!
Dishonour!
Dishonour on you!
Dishonour on your cow!
Ooh, baby, baby it’s a wild worm
I clicked on this video again to make this comment but it seems I already did last time I was here
I remember and entire wildcrats episode about why worms come out when it rains, in the end it was just “because they can!” (Though they implied that they normally can’t because it’s not safe)
What's a worms favourite opera? Wriggletto. (Rigoletto.......No?.......Wriggle? Rigoletto? No?... I give up!)
Using vibrations to coax worms out of the ground. My dad used to use an extension cord to pass a current through the ground.
Regarding memory: I read somewhere that an experiment showed that behaviours learned by monarch butterfly caterpillars were retained through metamorphosis and manifested in the butterflies. This despite (as far as we know) the caterpillar body is completely disassembled into a kind of soup in the chrysalis before reforming as a butterfly. How can this be?
Remember that old kid's verse?
Nobody likes me,
Everybody hates me,
I'm going to the garden
and eat WORMS!
I remember a Spanish version... I never understood where that came from and I'm fine with that actually 😁
Yeah that's grim and very weird to me
Mikey from Ants Canada should see this. It might help with his fear. 🤗
Thank - you .
Is it just me, or does Michael look like an older Otto from rocket power lol?
I injured my tongue on that title and I demand recompense
wee bit late for #WormWeek but much appreciated either way
Such a wonderfully wholesome uh... wideo?
Heartworm infections can also be fatal in cats. If you have a cat, your veterinarian can give the cat a topical medication that kills fleas, ticks, and heartworms.
Wait wait wait.. your camera operator is named JENOVA?! That's friggin' awesome!

I love normal earthworms, they are good for my soils. Just like springtails. They always find their ways into pots too. Their need to wat is very large
oh, worm?
ahhh, Worms W.M.D. on scishow!
that guy at 01:02 is clearly Col Carrot from my Misonoodles team
Shouldve released this during #wormweek
Ah, 7DoS
Male worms always made me laugh and grin
Futurama for the win!!
