Trypanorhyncha is an order of cestodes, a type of flatworm.

Some species infect gamefish, such as sciaenids, during the parasitic worm's plerocercoid stage, and are commonly called spaghetti worm because of their appearance, approximating cooked spaghetti. Such species include Poecilancistrium caryophyllum and Pseudogrillotia pleistacantha.

gollark: I changed it to "stupid", but this probably has similar connotations to "idiot", so hmm.

gollark: Oh, did you? Hmm. I'll make some tweaks.

gollark: The original one you seem to like says "idiot".

gollark: This is serious, except the "dodecahedron" bit and maybe orbital laser strike.

gollark: Rule suggestions if we *must* change for whatever reason:```Do not do stupid/unreasonable things, including but not limited to- Spamming- Posting NSFW media- Posting NSFW messages after someone asks you to stop- Searching for and/or revealing personal information without permission- Excessive/annoying/spammy advertising- Threats or harassment- Breaking Discord ToS and associated documents- Having unpingable usernamesPlease try and be civil and respectful at all times. If you see the rules being violated, please report this to the staff team so that it can be appropriately dealt with.```
