how smart can they be?

Leeches got eye patterns like spiders.
Each segments got a brain.
They are anelids.
Hyper evolved worms that do need hyper-protein to survive just like we do for our brain and they do for theirs, which is a bit why they are the best carnivorous they can be as bloodsuckers but mostly as bloodletters which can be symbiotic with our lifestyle and need to bleed or even have a weird hyper-alien leech pet (which probably still share something like 60-80% of your carbon based lifeform DNA).
Those are only some of our known terrestrial and freshwater and arboreal leeches im talking about though, anelids are very very diversified, leeches are some of the smartest and most interesting. I remember seeing a 1 foot long one crawling on the bottom of a freshwater lake full of frogs and fishes once, it was pretty nasty but also very cool, vivid, shiny yet smart looking, unlike something dumb and similar like a sea cucumber, it probably was full of moose or carrion blood.
Anyway it was a cool host to my assisted lake diving shenanigans, but not wearing a wetsuit, after 10 more minutes of hanging out in there, there were tiny 1 inch long ribbon leeches swimming up to my fingers and attaching to get a meal.
I did get out at that point but for a 2-3rd amateur assisted diving, it was pretty neat.
But yeah all I mean is those are the smartest worms I know, they're pretty cool and apex for worms too. Considering how many brains a leech possess, its a wonder what that alien body can think, could it be similar to us and cephalopodaes? Are they fine being leeches ? Come to think of it I did meet some tismbux humans that did act like they were leeches in a past life.
Anyway this is all for my leech content shitposting which I always have on hand when worm/Anelid evolution and intelligence is topic-related in something I like to browse, have good morning OP n the anons and lurking junkies.
Your lack of paranormal worm knowledge worries me.
Giant mongolian sand worm.
Pet mind control worms
Zombie body worms
I heard of worms in eyeballs, guy was having hurty eyes, look in mirror, sees tiny needles like pinworms swimming in his crystaline eyeball.
That and many more freak things.
It's not accurate to say that Chinese people eat worms as a cultural practice. While some insects and worms are consumed as food in various parts of the world, it is not a common or widespread practice in China. Some regional Chinese cuisines do include insects or larvae as ingredients, such as the "bamboo worms" used in some dishes in southwestern China, but these are not a staple food and are considered a delicacy.
It's worth noting that the idea of eating worms or insects may seem strange or off-putting to some people due to cultural differences and personal preferences. However, it's important to approach other cultures and their traditions with an open mind and without perpetuating stereotypes or misconceptions.
Most cultures don't eat worms though there are some that eat blood worms that live in mud in north America and elsewhere.
Great annelid food source and their teeth are tipped with copper O _O?
Metalurgic worms.
But yeah bloodworm harvest occurs mostly in northern eastern parts of north America, including maritime parts of french canada, maritime english canada and presumably in some parts of coastal US communities with traditions for it.
Personally I mostly tried cricket, larvas and maggots in candy, but I eat stuff like offals of beef and veal liver, blood sausages , black pudding, horse meat.
Its funny though the english world is a bit more squimish when it comes to those, there's even some taboos around many of those in many different places.
But anon, I-
worms are dumb as shit
they aren't killing the earth at least
Actually they kind of are, Europeans brought common earthworms over the rockies to put in their gardens. West coast flora didn't evolve to deal with worms churning the soil so a lot of old growth forest is dying off directly because of the worms. Worst part is that there's no realistic way to stop them short of developing some kind of virus to kill them but obviously that is way too risky and unethical.
feeling like blaming the worms for that is a dodge...
Very.
I dont think you are ready to know just how smart they are.
the worms feast on the knowledge of the gods
The noblest of creatures.
"The nethermost caverns are not for the fathoming of eyes that see; for their marvels are strange and terrific. Cursed the ground where dead thoughts live new and oddly bodied, and evil the mind that is held by no head. Wisely did Ibn Schacabao say, that happy is the tomb where no wizard hath lain, and happy the town at night whose wizards are all ashes. For it is of old rumour that the soul of the devil-bought hastes not from his charnel clay, but fats and instructs the very worm that gnaws; till out of corruption horrid life springs, and the dull scavengers of earth wax crafty to vex it and swell monstrous to plague it. Great holes secretly are digged where earth’s pores ought to suffice, and things have learnt to walk that ought to crawl.”
Will we be worms one day ?
Or will worms be us ?
"worm" is one of the handful of words likely to be direct from proto-Human/Adamic. It was very important to early humans.
I dunno but some brown slug manifested on my wall and it ozzes green slime. Dunno what to do bros
Slugs are mollusks akin to clams, barnacles, octopus, argonauts, nautilus, squids, cuttlefish, etc
They are not WORMS
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
The wobblies make the train go fast! Chew chew!~
