    This makes sense. I remember helping to build a fence on a farm, using a piledriver, and I remember being puzzled by how many worms were on the surface nearby. At the time I just assumed the soil was really healthy and was just bursting at the seams with worms. This explanation makes more sense. Also explains why the chickens kept following me around that day.

I’ve never seen or heard anyone else doing this, so when I saw this video title, I had to see if my hunch was right. Thanks for bringing back memories of my granddaddy and my youth.

    Pretty cool stuff!
    One thing that that bugs me a little is the connotation that every adaptation in evolution is purely overall beneficial. Or heck, are beneficial at all. The question "Why do worms still have this feature," or why does any other species still have something is, to put simply, because they aren't extinct yet. It's like asking someone why they left the lights on. "Well I didn't turn them off" is the only totally honest answer. You can say you forgot, but when the analogy goes back to evolution, you have to remember that there is no thought behind it. There is no mind saying "Shoot, I forgot to remove that feature" even though it doesn't work anymore. In fact this type of thing happens all the time. They're called vestigial structures. For example, whales still grow finger bones and hind legs, but are never used.
    The rare vs common predator is a good reason for explaining why they aren't extinct yet *because of this feature. But it does not explain why they have this feature in the first place or why they still have it. To put into other words, let's say for example that moles all disappeared one day and the amount that other animals exploited this feature went way up. Way up to the point where these worms are in danger of extinction. Now you can then ask "Why do worms still have this feature" and the only honest answer is that they or the feature hasn't gone away yet. And one or the other eventually will in this scenario. But nothing has really changed. The worms of course didn't, and the structure of evolution didn't change, so neither does the question.
    I'm very much not narking this one video. It is actually really interesting stuff! I just notice this kind of thinking about evolution is super common. To think that everything happens for a reason, often an environmental one. I mean, a lot of things do happen for environmental reasons, but it's not why things don't happen.

      Same here, I guess in Holland this is common knowledge... maybe because we have lots of canals, and worms are perfect for fishing. I always did this trick with a shovel, stick it in and out of the ground real fast. Tapping it is new to me though...

    Oh yes. My ex-husband use to purchase worms on the rear times he decided to go fishing. I never understood this because all he had to do was flip the dirt anywhere in our yard and there would be an abundance of worms! The soil was extremely soft and rich so it wasn't like he had to dig for long. But he never did.

    If you take dish soap and water and mix a good amount in a bucket and dump it in a spot where you would already find a few, like under a large rock or something, you can get like over 20 under the tight conditions to come up all at once. It's not as effectas this but it's a nice little experiment, especially if your kid was like me and liked digging around in the backyard. My dad showed me this and it blew my mind when big giant worms came up out of the ground rather than the little ones I would just find every once in a while

    • @rainbowconnected

      Not very nice to the worms, given that they breathe through their skin. Covering them in dish soap and water would likely lead to them suffering and probably dying. Better to find other, harm free ways of summoning them.
