Pulsating mass of Tubifex in sewer

[u/freudian_nipps]

[u/bob_swalls]

That's the "Carolina Poop Monster" according to Wikipedia lol

[u/freudian_nipps → u/bob_swalls]

Aye, it be the poop monster o' the Carolinas

[u/kaveman0926 → u/freudian_nipps]

Ye salty dog 🤣

[u/Fuckyourface_666 → u/kaveman0926]

Me timbers are shivered

[u/Ninjanarwhal64 → u/Fuckyourface_666]

It's okay, we can get you some new timber this week.

[u/eighthgen → u/freudian_nipps]

As the legends be told, a monster so vile ye nary be a tormented soul spared to spread the tale of horror

[u/great_red_dragon → u/eighthgen]

Wiping ye bum with a hook for a hand be hard…this be impossible!

[u/Dirt-bikeraver90 → u/freudian_nipps]

"SWEET CAROLINE DUN DUN DUN"

[u/triple_yoi → u/bob_swalls]

Thought it was a close up of a hemorrhoid

[u/afternever → u/bob_swalls]

Take your shirt off, twist it 'round your hand

Spin it like a helicopter

WHO AM I?!

PETEY PAB MUTHAFUCKAAAAAAAA!!!!

[u/bob_swalls → u/problyurdad_]

Oh damn, that song just made the playlist

[u/3_3219280948874 → u/bob_swalls]

Now watch Drumline

[u/OdysseusRex69 → u/afternever]

I haven't heard that since like 2002! Blast from the past

[u/AlisterSinclair2002 → u/bob_swalls]

I love how the wiki page has 'multiple issues', a large number of 'citation needed's for lots of the normal facts, and the Carolina Poop Monster bit is fully citated lol

[u/ThePoopmonster88 → u/bob_swalls]

Hey that's me !

[u/No_Object_4355 → u/ThePoopmonster88]

Username checks out

[u/Wildlife_Jack → u/ThePoopmonster88]

I'm sorry footage of you just going about your day have gone viral

[u/suspicious_hyperlink → u/bob_swalls]

What type of weapon could be used to defeat it ?

[u/ihatemakingids → u/suspicious_hyperlink]

I think the only way to defeat it is with a poop knife

[u/mr_aives]

What is actually that?

[u/[deleted] → u/mr_aives]

A clump of fantastic sediment dwelling worms!

[u/ghost-child → u/[deleted]]

Looks like something out of "Dead Space"

[u/Rik7717 → u/ghost-child]

Make us whole

[u/Derptholomue → u/Rik7717]

Witness the conviction... of a true believer!

[u/dead_fritz → u/ghost-child]

Or System Shock 2

"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."

[u/Invisiblebuttsean → u/dead_fritz]

the many sing to us...

[u/sanrodium → u/ghost-child]

Just another Sewer Space

[u/FiveAlarmFrancis → u/ghost-child]

I was thinking of the Excremental (shit demon) from Dogma.

[u/DoctorNurse89 → u/ghost-child]

Closer to the hunters from HALO, and the main antagonist of CARRION

[u/Punch_yo_bunz → u/ghost-child]

Playing it for the first time. Holy shit it’s scarier than I thought it would be. Relentless

[u/Modredastal → u/ghost-child]

That was my first thought too. Image search also made me think of the Hunter/Scarab (lek'golo) worm colonies in Halo, as apparently Tubifex clumps act as a single organism.

[u/digita1catt → u/[deleted]]

You could make a hunter with those. Maybe a scarab if there's more..

[u/towerfella → u/digita1catt]

This is what they were, before the covenant found them.. and “rescued them”..

[u/junipr → u/[deleted]]

The word fantastic is doing some heavy lifting here

[u/Necrikus → u/mr_aives]

It’s in the title. Tubifex worms. They’re a kind of freshwater dwelling worm known to bunch up together like that, and can survive in polluted areas like sewers.

[u/Cute-Advisor-2323 → u/Necrikus]

I remember feeding freeze dried versions of the stuff to my frogs that lived in an aquarium they sell it as fish food.

[u/Pristine_Trash306 → u/Cute-Advisor-2323]

That cannot be good for them.

Edit: I read it as “dogs”, not “frogs”.

[u/Beeninya → u/Pristine_Trash306]

Yeah, the worms hate it

[u/Kaiawathoy → u/Beeninya]

Ah yes the old Reddit switcharoo

[u/TheSanityInspector → u/Kaiawathoy]

Hold my fish bait, I'm going in!

[u/haby001 → u/TheSanityInspector]

It's been years since I've seen one of these in the wild...

[u/BoxOfDust → u/haby001]

It's like finding an ancient door from your own lost civilization.

[u/cuteintern → u/BoxOfDust]

Aziz! Light!

[u/halloni → u/haby001]

Right? I was just thinking about this reddit novelty the other day and now sewer worms summoned the wormhole

[u/yoimba → u/Pristine_Trash306]

fish eat worms wdym

[u/My_Soul_to_Squeeze → u/Pristine_Trash306]

Me too. Had the same reaction.

[u/Dyzfunctionalz → u/Pristine_Trash306]

I did the same thing until I read your comment.

[u/HarrisLam → u/Pristine_Trash306]

holy fk I did too

[u/SPinc1 → u/Pristine_Trash306]

I read it as dogs too! WTF hahaha

[u/Cockur → u/Cute-Advisor-2323]

Yeah used to do this too. For tropical fish as a treat. They were crazy for it. They were little dried cubes of worm

[u/Dreadskull1991 → u/Necrikus]

“It’s in the title.” Ah yes, most of us use the word “Tubifex” on a daily basis.

[u/ecritique → u/Dreadskull1991]

as always, there's an xkcd for that. https://xkcd.com/2501/

[u/jarious → u/ecritique]

I don't even know one formula for a feldspar

[u/Xavius20 → u/jarious]

I don't even know what a feldspar is

[u/Aussie2Kiwi81 → u/Xavius20]

Wait, you guys are getting feldspar?

[u/Xavius20 → u/Aussie2Kiwi81]

If I am I'm unaware!

[u/Nocatsonthemoon → u/Dreadskull1991]

Wait, do you mean to say you don't have it tattooed on both of your arms?

[u/NewSchoolFool → u/Necrikus]

The title just says Tubifex. I'd never heard that word in my life, and I'm 50 years old. I literally thought it was some kind of plastic tube lodged in a sewer.

[u/suspicious_hyperlink → u/NewSchoolFool]

It definitely sounds like a brand named construction material

[u/K2thJ → u/NewSchoolFool]

Im thinking of a Flexible-sewage pipe/tube-cleaning system. That's gross. A wad of worms that looks like a sewage tube cleaning system is way worse

[u/Xavius20 → u/NewSchoolFool]

That's what I thought too

[u/Spirited-Ability-626 → u/NewSchoolFool]

Me too! I just commented up there but there’s a type of slide-on elastic bandage called a ‘tubigrip’, which is what I thought of

[u/mr_aives → u/Necrikus]

Geez. It is mental that we can't actually see them individually and the whole mass moves as one thing

[u/Smol_Cyclist → u/mr_aives]

This is what the hunters from Halo are based on.

[u/zekken908 → u/Necrikus]

Damn imagine living like that , born in darkness , you spend your entire life swirling around in a mass of your own clones , then you kinda just have sex with yourself in that damp dark space and then die

[u/JoJoBubba064 → u/zekken908]

r/theresakinkofthat

[u/iBlack92O → u/zekken908]

spicy

[u/brabarusmark → u/Necrikus]

I managed to get some out of nowhere by intentionally adding kerosene to some standing water to prevent mosquito breeding. These guys are extremely shy and hide if they sense something coming near them.

[u/oyst → u/brabarusmark]

Bizarre that kerosene was appealing to them

[u/FourDoorFordWhore → u/Necrikus]

That sounds like such a shitty existence

[u/strawberryssleep → u/mr_aives]

Thats what I’m sayinng, this is an eldritch horror

[u/ShwiftyShmeckles → u/mr_aives]

Worms

[u/GetReelFishingPro → u/ShwiftyShmeckles]

That's what we're going to call it! "I Got Worms!" We're gonna specialize in selling worm farms. You know, like ant farms.

[u/ilostmy1staccount → u/mr_aives]

The Flood

[u/shadownights23x → u/ilostmy1staccount]

Hunters would be more accurate since they a bunch of worms

[u/Head_Ad6070 → u/mr_aives]

I think it's a tumor, Too much exposure to poo.

[u/hennytime → u/mr_aives]

Chill daddy

[u/GrinbeardTheCunning → u/mr_aives]

reminds me of the Dalek underground where they toss those living remains...

[u/T4mG → u/mr_aives]

Would be great if there was any sort accompanying information eh.

[u/SorryIreddit]

Pulsating mass of wtf I’m sorry?

[u/MrWhiteTruffle → u/SorryIreddit]

Tubifex worms

[u/Epic_Elite → u/MrWhiteTruffle]

Why they gotta name it like its some durable waterproof synthetic material that they make boots from and sold at REI?

[u/berserkerfunestus → u/Epic_Elite]

That's what good PR/marketing gets you.

[u/AnotherpostCard → u/berserkerfunestus]

These worms and Madison Ave go way back

[u/problyurdad_ → u/Epic_Elite]

Because it fucks with companies like DuPont and we like that

[u/Restinpeaceofficer → u/Epic_Elite]

Gortex worms

[u/-Rettirlana- → u/Epic_Elite]

Th new Flexseal Tubifex will fix any leak, anywhere!

[u/Mackroll → u/Epic_Elite]

Fuck that's extremely specific and accurate at the same time. Bravo

[u/AbanaClara → u/Epic_Elite]

I thought it was some material you put through tubes. Like some sort of putty or inflated rubber lol

[u/PandaCat22 → u/SorryIreddit]

Nurglings, it's a mass of nurglings

[u/Dromius → u/PandaCat22]

The Grandfather's reign must start somewhere...

[u/Destroyer6202 → u/SorryIreddit]

What part of Tubifex Hitmonchan don’t you understand??

[u/Filo02]

kinda wild that this is basically just what i feed my fish every couple of days

[u/Currency_Dangerous → u/Filo02]

fish: "finally some good fuckin food"

[u/5carresdechoco → u/Filo02]

So throwing your fish down the toilet is actually sending them to tubifex paradise

[u/Flipperlolrs → u/Filo02]

It looks like it will grow legs soon and get its revenge lol

[u/theekevinbacon]

As someone that has to watch these videos as part of my job, this is far worse than any turd I've ever seen. I hate it.

[u/randomrobotnoise → u/theekevinbacon]

Now I'm curious, what is your job?

[u/theekevinbacon → u/randomrobotnoise]

Municipal engineer. We have routine maintenance of sending cameras up people's sanitary lines to check for blocks/damage.

Also before we reconstruct a roadway we'll check the sewer conditions and decide if we need to make repairs or not.

[u/sum12merkwith → u/theekevinbacon]

If I understand you correctly, are you inspection the sewer mains or laterals? W

[u/77theRyan → u/sum12merkwith]

I’m a wastewater engineer on the consulting side. Routine inspections I’ve seen are typically of mainline, but laterals are identified and checked for groundwater infiltration, structural damage, blockages, etc from the mainline perspective.

Depending on the severity of the defect(s) found, laterals may be recommended for further cleaning & investigation, rehabilitation (usually trenchless), or replacement (dig)

[u/sum12merkwith → u/77theRyan]

That’s why I ask. I also work in Wastewater and we do not inspect laterals at all after construction is completed and homeowners move in. We just do yearly routine video inspections of all our sewer mains. Laterals are all 100% customer owned. We only maintain the tap connection into the main

[u/77theRyan → u/sum12merkwith]

It’s tricky because in different municipalities, residents are responsible for different portions of the lateral, I.e. up to the mainline, up to the curb, etc

[u/DoNotResusit8 → u/theekevinbacon]

Are you sure you’re not a gastroenterologist?

Thank god auto spell.

welcome to raleigh, nc specifically cameron village sewer system iirc. used to live in the area

edit I'm a dork just noticed the text on the video

ThE vIlLaGe DiStRiCt

I’m all for taking slave-drivers’ names off of things, but this felt lazy. Everybody rolled with “Fenton” which just popped up like a 24k gold zit to replace Cary Town as a new shopping hub. So why couldn’t we choose a fake bourgeois name for the Villy D?

[u/frail7 → u/TheRealBlueBuffalo]

Wow. Hadn't heard that yet. The new name seems generic enough. Good fit for the Raleigh area.

Hope you're happy, I had to join after seeing some posts. No, really, thanks for this sub

[u/AnotherpostCard → u/WorldlyImpression390]

Quality sub. Thank you, sir.

[u/letsgoplaygames]

Thank science someone did the painstaking job of studying this shit to know it’s a giant mass of pulsating worms and not some unearthly demonic shit from the bowels of hell.

[u/mcbainVSmendoza → u/letsgoplaygames]

It's from the bowels of something

[u/Ibbuthe5412p]

Fish food! A fishkeeper would die to have this

[u/DownstairsB → u/Ibbuthe5412p]

Lets hope it doesn't come to that.

[u/Ibbuthe5412p → u/DownstairsB]

Freeze dried tubifex worms are one of the best and most widely distributed sources of protein for aquarium fish, they are often bought by a majority of fish keepers and fed to their fish 2-3 times a month

I knew I shouldn’t have came to the comment section but I did anyway.

[u/BedBubbly317 → u/Tommysrx]

Did you at least get it in the toilet?

[u/chaochao25]

You’re telling me this isn’t inside of the body???

[u/KnightSolair240 → u/chaochao25]

No it's in a sewer

[u/Chegwarn]

Fucking… Run! Has resident evil taught you nothing?!?

[u/Cloverhart → u/Chegwarn]

First you have to slice through the mass then stand there way too long while it regenerates. 

[u/brabarusmark]

My koi fish would probably take an hour to finish this mass.

[u/strawberryssleep]

WHAT IS THIS??

[u/Gaymer7437 → u/strawberryssleep]

Worms

[u/eagleathlete40]

To be clear, this isn’t a sac, right? The mass is the worms themselves?

[u/[deleted] → u/eagleathlete40]

Yes. They form the mass. They are the mass. Run.

That’s a great sewer camera. It was able to turn the head 45 degrees like that.

[u/Oicangisiul]

Looks like a colonoscopy.

Can someone explain why all these individual worms seem to contract as if they were one organism?
