>>5085571
Where you at anon?

>>5085573
Northern England. about 2 miles inland, not near a river or anything. found on a random path.

couple of inches long. maybe it fell out of a dog?
>>
Looks like a marine polychaete worm, must have been brought inland by a bird

AI says your image is from a 2013 reddit post

>>5085609
why do people do this?
>>
>>5085610
>people
4chan staff allow and operate engagement bots. They shit out repeated and low value controversial content to get people (you)ing and interested in coming back to the board.

Ive seen beloved contributors permanently rangebanned for realizing this and refusing to shut up about it and retarded schizos almost realize it but be too retarded to see exactly what it is and blame the jews instead (which may be because they make the bots get hung up on one thing on purpose because it makes people talk)

Remember: 4chan is a data broker. They need you here, talking, clicking links. The urleavin4chinz page when you click links exists for data mining. Copy and paste only, turn off embeds, if you care.

This. /co/, /v/ and /pol/ are pretty bad for this

lmao so i see what's happened here:

>This is a bug my friend and I found on a housing estate in the north east of england.
i am the friend in that story. i don't know if it was far back as 2013, but it's one of those mysteries we discuss and try looking into over the years.

today i decided "fuck it, maybe /an/ knows" and i suppose she did the same over on Reddit earlier this year.

>>5085610
>>5085618
so i'm not a bot or Reddit reposter, i just had the same image. maybe i've swayed a robot towards serving more polychaete content. i can live with that.

sorry /an/, wasn't trying to dupe yous in any way.
>marine polychaete worm
looks like it might be what it was. bristle worm, maybe?
>>
>>5085626
this thread was made at 2am in england and the apologetics come only when bots come up just on time
>i am the friend
>but also
>i just had the same image
hmmmm. ai-ish behavior.
its engagement bait
>>
>>5085631
Not even really 2 am, it was closer to 3 am in the dead of night.

it's now ten to eight. i am still awake. here is a quick snap of some Yorkshire Tea (malty biscuit flavour).

she and i will have a larf about this when she wakes up. but yeah, time to read that Reddit thread in full, and thanks to the anon who gave the correct (? i think) answer.
