Krieger22 Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 We are actually wormposting? For real? Meet a 2.8 meter long tapeworm. The guy it was in was completely asymptomatic the entire time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The location of towns would be decipherable, since for every massing of human beings there would be a corresponding massing of certain nematodes. Trees would still stand in ghostly rows representing our streets and highways. The location of the various plants and animals would still be decipherable, and, had we sufficient knowledge, in many cases even their species could be determined by an examination of their erstwhile nematode parasites.
