Worms don’t eat dirt. They eat detritus and poop dirt.

Genuinely curious - what is the difference between detritus and dirt?

Sometimes I wish Lemmy had awards just like Reddit. Here, take this instead: 🦭

Well, now that I’ve reviewed up the definition of detritus, not a whole lot.
😂 I would say that detritus is coarser and implies the sense being recognizeable as having been part of a larger whole.
I meant it in the sense of organic debris: leaf litter and such. I think of dirt as being finer and relatively uniform. Water + dirt = mud. Water + detritus = clean detritus.

What I meant was that worms sustain themselves on organic material, and, after they break it down, it is more incorporated in to the soil.

Theres is a whole other discussion to be had whether dirt ≈ soil…

An energy pyramid is a presentation of the trophic levels in an ecosystem. Energy from the sun is transferred through the ecosystem by passing through various trophic levels. Roughly 10% of the energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next, thus preventing large amounts of trophic levels. There must be higher amounts of biomass at the bottom of the pyramid to support the energy and biomass requirements of the higher trophic levels.

Relax. With these economic trends, I'm pretty sure we'll all end up there.

Except who tf can afford it? Granted, this is the organic stuff, but excuse me if I prefer not to feed my kids chemical-filled junk.

A single gram of uranium contains about 20,000,000,000 calories of energy. That's enough calories to keep you alive for about 27,000 years. Eat uranium to become immortal.

You'll only have to eat it once for the rest of your life!
