So, here's the deal... We've all been spelling it wrong for this entire time.

In the Gummyverse, the bears really are bear-sized. They're legit. You wouldn't want to fight one, no matter how squishy they look. They're apex in their domains.

But...

What we have been mistakenly calling gummy "worms" are on another level entirely. They are mystic, ancient, and quite eldritch. If you find yourself in the Gummyverse, you do not want to run into these things. They're not worms.

They're wyrms.

Sugar-hulud

Bless the Maker and His sweetness.

Bless the coming and going of Him.

May His passage cleanse the world.

May He keep the world for His people.

I must not get diabeetus.

Diabeetus is the mind-killer.

Diabeetus is the little death that brings foot amputations.

I will face my insulin injection.

I will let it pass over me and through me.

And when it has gone past, I will turn the test strip to see my blood-sugar.

Where the diabeetus has gone there will be nothing.

Only Wilford Brimley will remain.

Can we spare a moment to think about this?

[-] kameecoding@programming.dev 7 points 11 months ago

thanks for reminding us how stupid those units are.

[-] goodnessme@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

26 lbs gummy?! RIP your digestive system!

[-] qyron@lemmy.pt 5 points 11 months ago

Or...

Buy a pack of regular gummy bears, put them in a jar and force them to watch their god being slowly devoured over the course of a year.

It's weird that the documentary never mentioned the giant worms. Conspiracy?

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

[-] hactar42@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Or an insanely cute one. Who wouldn't want a bunch of cute tiny bears. Like something between an actual bear and a tardigrade.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

May I remind you, they also come in giant size.

[-] hactar42@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

I could deal with cat size bears

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Ok but what about dachshund sized worms?

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 11 months ago

I'm ready to ditch imperial for this dachshund-based measuring system. And I do not even use imperial.

[-] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I would not be surprised if cat sized bears are less dangerous than cat sized cats.

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago

Avoid the waters near Sweden while in the gummyverse, just trust me.

[-] oo1@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago

the gum is the worm, the worm is the gum.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago
