I didn't know tapeworms came out

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago

they do if they get exposed to water, where they release the eggs, or it gets long enough to exit the bumhole.

They're named after the tape measure and if those birds let go its the coming back in you've got to worry about.

A reply in your inbox is just like a tapewormmeasure, it keeps you coming back to the post.

Older people around here tell stories of homemade treatments where the person would be fasting for hours while sat on a chair with a hole, with a bucket of milk or white wine below. According to them, this would make the tapeworm get out (very slowly) into the bucket.
