That is an alien, not a worm dustin......

Jeff Schubert

I really enjoy all your videos, but these spontaneous unscripted ones are on a different level. Thanks!

Anthony Case

Ferrous Worm would be an awesome band name. :)

Nate D

Hey Destin. I love supporting your videos.... but Patreon is making it very hard to do. They keep making me go through a cloudflare step despite me being signed up for 2FA. Their response is "There's nothing we can do, it's our web host". and that seems like a load of crap to me. So, can you either post direct links to the youtube videos or have them fix the problem with their webhost? Thank you! I love your work, and want to continue to support it, but I really can't if they keep making it such a pain in the butt.

Is that enough iron in their blood? to do that! Oh Ok that might be what they consumed, but will they extrude the extra of what they need?

Cory Helmer

Snatch block magnetic worm mystery. Every video I see now. I add snatch block to it. I feel like I get more pull out of it.

KC

So then. When does the movie Iron Worm come out?

Tony Anschutz

That was super cool. What a fun discovery. Love what you do. I'm on your email list. Thanks man. Your awesome!

Chris Van Nostrand

Awesome video! The real question is which worm catches fish better? Magnetic worm or nonmagnetic worm?

Bobby

So many more questions! Excellent discovery

Jason Williamson

What’s going to happen after he makes legit SED 253252? 😂

FaffinAboot

The email list seems like a useful workaround.

Steve Jones

Awesome discovery! I see Destin's next thing will be something like "ancestry.com" for worms, where you can track what part of the yard a worm came from by how much iron is in it.. I can't help but feel a little bad for the worm, seeing as though he just went through the equivalent of being put through an MRI machine with a metal hip, but I guess it beats getting eaten by a catfish. :-)

Steve Jones

Hey Destin.. are you still working on a backlog of baseballs? Just curious because I was a patreon supporter from before you started it, and haven't received one.. It's not a big deal, but I would love to proudly display it!! I'm sad the Frederick Keys (Maryland) aren't in the same league as the Trash Pandas.. was hoping to see them play.. :-)

Andy

Hi - will there be captioning forthcoming? Thanks

smartereveryday

This actually is a big deal! Expect a direct message. More often than not this has to do with an error with how the mailing address was entered.

Joel Estes

Is there extra content here that's not on YouTube? I got here from an email saying there was a patron-only video but all I see is the YT video. Not mad or anything, I just want to make sure I'm not missing any content!

smartereveryday

Whoa. How exactly do you check it? Do you have IFTTT ping you or something?

smartereveryday

I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying I should post the URL in the Patreon post?

Nate D

Yeah, exactly..... post the direct youtube video link as part of the text of the patreon text post. A few other folks I know do this.... like Technology Connections.

Dirk Rybinski

Just add the feed(s) to your RRS feed reader app or the to Feedly (or Feedbin or ,,, ) if you have an account there. The app (or the service) checks the feed (and may send you a notification). You can find NetNewsWire (free and open source - thx Brent) at https://netnewswire.com/ #RSS4EVER

Brandon Smith

This was the most ironic conclusion I could have expected!

Dirk Rybinski

I do not use IFTTT in the moment - but I think you can use it (somehow) to check the feed

Chris Lipford

To be ferr, the video would've been less interesting if they explained it in the beginning.

Steve Jones

I was blaming it on the post office being in "Covid mode".. Up here, I know the main Baltimore post office was basically backed up with MONTHS worth of packages..+

Aaron Cheeseman

Thats nuts magnetic worms🤣🤣🤣🤣

Witold Kardys

Survival trick: use a magnetic worm as a compass :D

Brittan Hunter

Destin, you should feed your chickens next to the same steel dust and see if they become chick magnets!

Robert Sanges

I'm so glad you thought to film this.

James

Great video Destin! I sent you a direct message I was hoping you could get a chance to answer it.

EpicWolverine

Yup, IFTTT can use an RSS feed as a trigger.

Lawrence

With a little effort, some liquid nitrogen and high-temperature superconductors you might even make a worm fly.

Thomas Jones

2 boys from Alabama, playing with worms. LOL Excellent video Dustin!

Clifton Ballad

Can you form your own company that needs things welded so I can flee NY and come work for competent people? Is that too much to ask? I know lots of things about welding and I know a bit about stuff that isn't welding and I don't eat much and I'll be quiet (except about quality...) Also, please do more random videos like this, especially when some random phenomenon makes you mad. - Clif, the defeated by corporate management welder...

Oilcancap

I loved the sillyness of just exploring stuff in this video, reminds me of my buddy and I going detail crazy over something we've only found out 5 minutes ago and theorizing how it works and then going and finding out how it actually works and see how close we got!

Steve Cheeseman

Awesome job Destin. I have a slightly different theory. The worms have a mucus on its body to help it stay moist. Rather than ingesting the iron particles, the particles may well be stuck to this mucus. In the name of science I think you should wash the worms first and see if that removes the magnetic properties. Love the unedited and unscripted video. Keep up the great work.

Rebecca

Good job!!! magic and amazing!

Terence Post

Hearing Destin say “what’s happening?” in an angry albeit inquisitive tone absolutely made my day!

Randall Aki

Maybe the dirt in that it eats or the dirt it was found in has a high concentration of iron in it.

Rick Gonzales

Try a rare-earth magnet. It might suck up worms deep underground.

Icicle C Cold

Uhhh... not what I expected to learn today, but thank you! That was AMAZING!

Clifton Ballad

Thank you, but large corporate shops broke my soul lol The only ones I'd work for now would be space x or nasa...

Trent

Worms ingest dirt and when there is ferrous oxide, or in your case iron filings, in the dirt that material in their intestines is magnetic. Still, fascinating that it was enough to be attracted to a magnet so clearly.
