Theoretical a worm eat plants and leaf's
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.
I used to like it as a kid, I dunno why. Could be the body demanding minerals or just a kid being stupid
No they're more like carrion eaters.
Also an amazing inventor once said "grass taste bad" pretty sure he would know.
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.
That's a racist myth. White supremacists want you to think it doesn't get any better than Europe, but it does. Google indigenous communism.
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.
Worms donβt eat dirt. They eat detritus and poop dirt.
Genuinely curious - what is the difference between detritus and dirt?
A compost pile (detritus, plant matter), with the help of worms, turns into dirt.
So what does fecal matter count as? For example my chickens eat the plants, then process it. Then the worm population skyrockets in the dirt where they live, and of course many of them get eaten by said chickens as well, but overall the population has still increased noticably.
Is the chicken's digestive track just considered part of the composting process? Or is that only once it hits the ground and started getting rained on
It's actually more complicated than I bet most Lemmy users can comment on, there are so many varieties of worms, different kinds of topsoil and interactions, and the idea that animal feces can vary wildly in composition and starts undergoing chemical changes as soon as it contacts air.

Sometimes I wish Lemmy had awards just like Reddit. Here, take this instead: π¦
I know itβs the most expensive liquid by fluid oz, but is it more expensive than gold by weight too?
Gold is 19.32 Kilograms per litre. 1kg is 35.274 ounces. One ounce of gold is currently 3429 USD. So one litre of gold is 3429 Γ 35.274 Γ 19.32 = 2325956 USD.
Printer ink is 23.05 USD per litre per bulk refill, but standard desktop cartridges typically hold just between 3 to 10 milliliters of ink, costing USD 20 to 50, so USD 200 - 16666.
So no. But ppl are definately ripped of depending on what ink packs they buy. Easy to check with gold.

Thanks for doing the math, also I havenβt bought printer ink in almost 20 years, after the last time it asked for yellow to print a b/w page. I still have my old wide format epson in my damn attic though, mostly since I was planning on using the motors and linear rails for a camera mount someday.

Well, now that Iβve reviewed up the definition of detritus, not a whole lot.
π 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 β soilβ¦
I'll take a shot. "Detritus" is the easier part: it's decaying plant and animal matter. So the worms are eating leaves and stuff after it's started breaking down.
"Dirt" is a little more difficult because it doesn't have as crisp of a definition. Usually when people say "dirt" in this context, they mean "soil," but that's only a little better. The relevant definition for soil is, "the upper layer of earth that may be dug or plowed and in which plants grow."
That detritus gets broken down by bacteria and becomes soil even without worms, but worms do basically the same thing faster. Plus their moving around helps loosen the soil, which also is helpful for growing plants.
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.

become solar panel
Do you have any mail-order companies where I can get ahold of phytoplankton that I can absorb into my body and form a symbiotic relationship with so they can convert sunlight to energy and supply me with excess?
Last time I tried I just got really bad gas.
β¦and eat mushrooms
A single gram of uranium contains about 20,000,000,000 calories of energy. That's enough calories to keep you alive for about 27,000 years. Eat uranium to become immortal.
Instructions unclear, ate urine and became even more mortal.
You'll only have to eat it once for the rest of your life!

How's your day going? Well I started shitting and puking my kidney out around noon, I'm fairly sure it's not supposed to come up through my intestines, but it has
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. Iβve 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. Theyβre just tiny dinosaurs.
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
But the Nine Inch Nails version...
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 π€ͺ
Worm no eat dirt, worm make dirt.
