I hear the #forkiverse is the good place on the internet, so I'll start posting a photo of one of my cats sleeping with upside down with an open eye, not being creepy at all. -
You ever read a book that you liked so much that you thought "if I were in prison, but I had this book I would not mind at least until I was done reading it"I bought it on Abebooks. I collect books about ants. Please don't tell anyone.

This book is SO GOOD.The "King James" version of the bible uses "it" rather than "she" ... but in some other texts they get the pronoun right for a worker ant which makes me wonder if some people knew that all of the workers are female or if it's just a coincidence.

This book is SO GOOD.I think they are both copying proverbs 6:6
Look to the ant lazy one,
consider her ways and be wise,
She has no boss, no overseer or king,
yet she stores provisions in summer
she gathers her food at harvest. -
You ever read a book that you liked so much that you thought "if I were in prison, but I had this book I would not mind at least until I was done reading it"It's important for those of you who may have written, or might yet write a book to know that nearly every book that I've liked *this* much wasn't some big hit. Not some acclaimed work.
It was just a book that finally found one of the people who would love it.
And your audience is out there too.
It might be like six people, but will you deny them freedom?

WHO told me to read "Consider Her Ways" by Frederick Philip Grove? Someone on here told me about this book... This books is: * amazing * a little bonkers, can't believe it's real * hilarious ... wall to wall ant jokes Let me share a passage: "She went so far as to assert that, if nature had not given man to ants, ants would, at least in these parts, have had to invent or to breed something much resembling man in order to subsist in safety." 1/

This book is SO GOOD.That's a different story. I'm talking about the book about ants by Frederick Philip Grove

WHO told me to read "Consider Her Ways" by Frederick Philip Grove?It's nice to know that someone else who has watched ants has noticed that comport themself as if the planet were made for them and they have conquered it. They shape the landscape, farm, raise livestock, and organize all of their affairs and it really makes human people look... messy when you glace up from the anthill.
And yet! It's not like ants are peaceful or meek. They have their warlike moments, deceptions, and more.
So these things are not products of the human mind alone.

WHO told me to read "Consider Her Ways" by Frederick Philip Grove?This book is much older than that book I wonder if it was an inspiration.
The book Phase IV is **terrible** please skip that one.

WHO told me to read "Consider Her Ways" by Frederick Philip Grove?The fire ants LOVE humans and find us useful. Our narrator is less impressed.
"In the third place, it has been rumoured that man also keeps cattle; and from that fact it has been inferred by certain bold speculators that he must have reached a social and intellectual stage little below
that of certain ants, though not the most highly developed kinds."The Author (A leaf-cutter) Musing about humans.

WHO told me to read "Consider Her Ways" by Frederick Philip Grove?"But, of course, having created ants, the crown and supreme achievement of her work, nature could be trusted to provide for them; and so she had also created man."

I can't be "an ant pretending to be a person on the internet" -
@trent @chozari Nautilus and Aeon — love them!I can't see the post this is replying to, can you link it? This happens from time to time on here and I don't know why exactly.

What happened here?*brrrup*
*desperate scrambling* -
Can someone explain to me what Trump and the US Government or companies would be able to do if they "had Greenland" that they can't do right now?I think it's important to remember that you can know something is a bad idea even if you can't make sense of the motivations of the people trying to do it.
Because it's possible their motivations make no sense. No one can explain this to me sufficiently. It's a bad idea.
It's bad that it even is "an idea" it's not worth thinking about.
