Would you eat a worm for $20 ?

[milabue]

It has to be fresh from the soil. No fried worms.

I ate a fresh mealworm for free.
Tastes like cookies.

 

[milabue]

Oh, I should have specified: an annelid.
and only ones that live in dirt

@pes second mealworms they are delicious. Especially with some hot sauce.

As for earthworms, nope. One of my favorite parasites ever, the Giant Kidney worm Diactophyma, uses earthworms as part of the life cycle for its eggs. I would not want to join that life cycle, thanks!

Risk getting parasites and illness for $20, where do I sign up?

Oh. That is another thing I hadn't considered. It was just about ickiness of eating a live earthworm freshly plucked from the ground. Should I change the quiz? Restart? How about assume there is no danger of parasites. I have no idea what the likelihood of that is, I can't come up with a realistic payoff.

This is something a kid thinks of on a playground.

Gimme the worm, I'm not a wimp! (My odds of getting parasites are concerningly high)

Didn't some young Aussie lad do this as a dare some years back, ended up basically brain dead and died recently afaik. So no, I'd rather pay you double to eat it yourself.

Actually scrap that, it was a slug and he survived for 8 years somehow, give me two worms to go.

yetch

 

[Schuppentier]

No.

If you whant me to do something gross, the amount you pay has to be life changing.

20 fuckin' bucks, are you kidding me?
Put 2 more zeroes after 20 and we have a deal.
