    I can't be "an ant pretending to be a person on the internet"

    I post about human stuff all the time and no one has made a computer interface suitable for ants yet. So it's impossible.

      Seems like pinch-to-zoom would be a killer input move for ants.

        @futurebird I think we have a new project idea for @foone!

        It just needs to be an array of switches that can be actuated by a colony of ants!

          @futurebird That’s EXACTLY what an ant pretending to be a human would say.

            @futurebird why have an ant interface, when the whole computer can be ants? https://discworld.fandom.com/wiki/Hex

                    @futurebird none suitable for an ant, but I'm not convinced several ants couldn't make it work. Are you several ants?

                      @futurebird Nah, you're actually the embodiment of an entire colony of ants. No individual ant could reflect upon collectivist society as much as you do.

                            No, this is silly ants are concerned with digging simple holes and being very nice creatures that help keep the forest clean. They don't want to use the internet to do anything so complex and frustrating. Just don't worry about it I think.

                                          @futurebird All you need is some image recognition for mandibles and antennae... well, simulating output to the chemoreceptors might pose a problem...

                                          I still think going the fungus route is the way to communicate with ants: A bit slow, but very robust.
