Oh wow...that's a great fucking story I'll share with a few people. Thank you kind redditor!!!!! <3
They actually released a new oddworld game recently
https://store.steampowered.com/app/619390/Oddworld_Soulstorm_Enhanced_Edition/
Sadly it wasn't very well received.
“Follow me!”
lol came to say this.
How dare you insult Mitch McConnell like that…
How dare you insult Abe like this!
Agreed. One is a blessed deliverer of his people. The other is a turtle doing an incredible impersonation of an asshole.
More of an embodiment than an impersonation really.
You made me lmao. I laughed so hard that i’m still looking for it
FART
Hee hee...ok.
That's the face that's gonna get me ready for bikini season this summer.
My immediate thought as well
Hewwo!
Beat me to it lol
Came here to post the same…..
I tip my hat sir!
Okay a little elbow grease, guys
Awwh man
Glad to see this as the top comment when I came in!
Yoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyo
I can hear the photo! "Eu-eu-eu-eu-eu-eu" <- chanting sounds
My tapeworm tells me what to do.
slither up to me, in your pimpin' majesty
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass.
HEY!
My tapeworm tells me where to go
Puuull the tapeworm out of your ass!
I'll never not appreciate seeing System out in the wild
Become Illithid, become your destiny
I find it’s easier that way.
I really didn't need to see that right now... That shit could be inside you as you watch this, because I'm thinking about this, you need to think about this as well, share my horror!!!
Depends...are you overweight? Fun fact- the old military field guides for survival recommends a teaspoon of gasoline in your diet if you suspect you might have worms. Cancer vs. worms.
I don't know man, on the one hand cancer is a fucker, but on the other I don't want some bastard child of Earthworm Jim and Abe from Oddworld living inside of me.
Meh...after a little unleaded, you'll poop it out. Or not...you might have to reach around and pull out the last six feet or so.
You think that six footer would like a reach around?
Page 42 of the Marine Corps jungle warfare survival book, "Your wits are your best survival tool".
Thank you
Oh god I did not need to imagine that sensation
You know what, just let it be, it's free weight loss.
Could this be the origin of why public schools in my 3rd world country put gasoline in students' food?
Well, starvation kills faster than cancer so..
I was told that fashion models would eat tapeworm eggs to stay so skinny and slank
Garlic helps, lots of it
Wouldn't that also fuck up your gut microbiome?
Really fun fact, there's actually been an instance where the cancer from a tapeworm has transferred to its human host, giving the host its cancer.
def. not inside of me, youre still a maybe though
So what? Probably millions different organisms are inside me. What one tapeworm will change?
Most of the organisms aren't visible to the naked eye and parasitically sucking nutrients from you.
This looks amazing I want to watch.
it’s a video game series called Oddworld.
Damn I played the hell out of that and had completely forgotten it existed till now
Allllaya! Follow me!
If you're interested, the games are fairly cheap on Steam, especially on sale. There's two newer ones, Oddworld New n Tasty and Oddworld Soulstorm which are remakes and what that gif is from, and then the originals. Oddworld: Abe's Exodus from 1998 is one of my favorite games of all time, it still holds up, and if you've got a few bucks to drop on Steam, I'd highly recommend it. The first game, Abe's Odyssey, is also good, and has a style unlike anything else, but very hard.
I was introduced via Munch’s Odyssey on Xbox. Shit was grim haha.
Oh my god. That's what it was! I've had memories of that game forever, been imitating those characters for ages.
Here's a fact: Tapeworms can grow up to 50 feet and may live inside a host for up to 20 years, usually entering humans through undercooked meat or contaminated water.
That is NOT a fun fact.
who said it was going to be fun... ? lol
Golden Corrals new slogan!
I had a friend in high school who got a tape worm and he had no idea. He was just hungry all the time and no matter how much he ate he was still a skinny guy. His parents took him to the hospital and somehow they found out he had a tape worm and he got some pills or something for it.
Yep you just get a couple of pills and poop it out (dead)
The part (dead) is very important
Still very disturbing I remember seeing pictures of tapeworms in the toilet as a kid and now I’m scarred for life
That's another point in time where you really don't want to get constipated.
I was the skinny guy in high school that people asked if I had a tapeworm because I ate so much
Actual fun fact: they can be easily killed by medicine. 💊
Medicine or poison?
Yes
Depends on who is reading the fact. Other flatworms are thinking it's a very fun fact.
It was a popular diet fad back in the 1890s
“… usually entering humans through…” I held my breath but it turned out just fine.
“…through good old fashioned flattery and liquor.”
The spirit of Norm Macdonald is speaking through you today. Well done.
You know that's just the worst ones they know about, so there have to be much longer, older tapeworms... if you care for one right you could probably get into Guinness.
"care for one" 😭😂
I raised him right here in my own colon
No thank you
I have one. It talks to me. We have an understanding. It's psychic.
Another fun fact: tapeworms don’t have mouths or a digestive tract. They absorb all their nutrients through their tegument (outer surface).
Didn't you see the picture? Shit looks like an unholy abomination mixed from Abe and a piranha!
I want to subscribe to more tapeworm facts please!
So if someone who is obese, is it safe to say they do not have a tapeworm inside of them?
It just means the tapeworm is bigger
Fun fact: tapeworms have been used in the past as a dietary way to lose weight. Some place may still do it.
Another fact. You only get tapeworms with pork. Not chicken, beef, fish or egg.
"If you want to get a tapeworm eat some pork"
RIP Sean Lock
There is definitely a beef tapeworm
There is also a fish tapeworm lol
Haha first thing I thought of…
Same, first thing that popped in my head lol.
Does anyone know what we are looking at? I assume those aren't eyes even though it looks like it.
Those are the suckers
I think we are the suckers, where the tapeworm is concerned.
What the other commenter said is correct. Those are suckers and hooks for latching on to a person. There is no mouth or eyes.
If there's no mouth, than what is that which looks like a mouth full of sharp teeth?
Hooks. It just looks like a mouth because we’re programmed to find that similarity. But there is no opening there. They’re just hooks. Tapeworms have no mouth or a digestive tract for that matter. They absorb nutrients through their “skin”, which isn’t skin.
nope. don't like it.
Ack ack ack ack
“We come in peace!”
You might not believe this, but r/ACK
That movie scared me senseless as a kid. I actually had nightmares about those aliens. The noise they made was short term PTSD
You and me both. I couldn't watch it for YEARS. I finally mustered up the courage to watch it again a few years ago and really enjoyed it.
lmao... Same but for some reason I loved watching it
Don't you go hollow
Specifically their expression when about to be crushed by the rocks.
Yes!! This is the first thing I thought of. Can’t believe I had to scroll so far to see another mention of the hydra from Hercules
My thoughts exactly. I wonder if that hydra design was specifically inspired by tapeworms.
SOUTH BRONX PARADISE, BABY!!!
But can it do the ultimate song?
That’s 2 ATHF references in 5 mins. Guess the universe wants me to watch it tonight.
Why? Why do these exist?
That's at 200x Magnification. source
200x, but not electron microscope. Confocal microscopy is a form of optical microscopy, but gives you fluorescence and higher resolutions. You can also view live samples.
Source: Too much time in the Microbiology lab.
Also if it was alive, it's definitely blind now. That confocal laser is no joke
"Psst, hey buddy. Wanna buy a paramite pie?"
Time hasn't been kind to Earthworm Jim...
Nah, that's Abe from Oddworld.
I love listening to music.
Omg, you're right! In that case, he aged like fine wine. 👍
I gave myself Jerry on purpose
Looks straight out of dark souls
This is some dark souls shit
Andrew Tateworm
Pulled up Reddit to have a nice evening wank and this is the first thing I see…
*When they look at you through an electron microscope*
that look is so cartoonish I'm having a hard time believing this is real
Looks like something from an Oddworld game!
He’s seen things.
Anyone else seeing Abe from oddworld here?
I wasn't gonna sleep anyway
Are those eyes?
What a strange world..an odd world even.
Looks like the hydra from hercules.
That's a basilisk. Beware of curse.
Thanks I hate this
This thing will curse me like it’s dark souls
Bears sometimes walk around with these hanging out of their ass.
Jesus did they have to give it's mouth and eyes a satanic glow
"Hello!"
"Hello!!"
"Follow me!
"No."
🤣
This was taped.
What in the Marklar…
Well I know what monster is going into my next D&D game!
He's trying his best
He looks like the hydra from Hercules
⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️
Shai Hulud nephew
Welp thats horrifying. This should have had a spoiler cover tbh so ppl can choose whether they wanted to see....that
Nsfw that shit, nobody needs to see that without warning
Looks like a dark souls enemy in a swamp area
He looks like he eats poop
"Such a handsome boy" - His Grandmother
Oh hell nah
Another fear has been unlocked!
And now I hate em even more
Dude's been looking living in someone's intestines his whole life.
Definitely looks like he's seen some shit.

Nah.. that’s just this ugly mufugger from Hercules
That’s Abe!
Earthworm Jim?
That's Abe...
