But can they fuck up the environment the way we do? I don’t think so
Alright… So what the fuck am I supposed to do with 2.5m ants?
Well, on my property it’s probably 70 million ants and just me. I’m doing the real work.
I must have killed at least 10 peoples worth of ants in my garden this year.
Wait, really? How do I get mine?
Star by rubbing syrup all over yourself. Then lie down in the grass. Then start squirming around. Then roll around. What was the question?
I don’t know, but I need a cigarette. Hope it was good for you, too.
But how many ants are there? […] “According to our estimates, the global ant population is 20 x 10¹⁵ – that is, 20 quadrillion animals. […]”
Divided by 8 billion yields the 2.5 million per person.
I don’t think the average person could defend themselves against 2.5m ants. They could overthrow us at any moment.
Do I get prep time?
An indefinite amount. They could come for you today. They could come for you in 43 years. You’ll never know until you see the wave marching across your shoes.
All we have to do is get them going in a circle
I hope mine are fire ants!
All ants are fire yo
“The average person has one Fallopian tube.” ―Bo Burnham
I didn’t get any. :( Can someone share their extras? Redistribute fallopian tubes!
And <1 ball
So most of them are just living because of reckless abandonment!
Anyone else have a mental image of the guy in John Carpenter’s Prince of Darkness who says “pray for death” as his body falls apart into a pile of ants?
And there would be even more if it wasn’t for those damned kids!
what am I supposed to do with 2.5 million ants??
Give each and every one of them housing and health care. 🖤🐜
If you can train each one to bring you a cent you’d be a rich man!
You’d need decoy ants too. So no one can follow their trail.
most of them are pretty small.
It may sound like a lot, but that’s at maximum just 12.5kg (around 27.5 pounds) of ants.
12.5 kg of ants is, like, a LOT of ants.
Well now I want ants.
I remember reading once that world wide, all the ants on the planet weigh collectively more than all the elephants put together on the planet.
It’s actually more than the combined mass of all wild birds and mammals.
Another fun insect fact: there are more species of beetles than all of the other species combined.
