The enterprise must either plan to have ants, or simply have ants they didn't expect. Thems the breaks.

@JeremyMallin

It would be so annoying to set things up though.

Also, on a big ship you'd have spaces with plants, UV lights, those would need to cycle for the plants people and insects to thrive.

I guess you could have different rooms with different lights, but ideally you'd have ambient light that suggested sunlight and nobody wants that on their skin if your body thinks it's night.

@JeremyMallin

Having two crews might be more difficult socially? The crew with the captain would attract other "important people" and you'd end up with a needless divide. Maybe "bridge" vs. "engineering" or something.

By having "night" and only a smaller staff the majority are all part of one group.

This would be like me carrying one of those giant plywood sheets from a construction site... all by myself, above my head, while running at full speed...

with my mouth!

Her mandibles are like scissors and her whole body is like a compass ... the length of her legs places an upper limit on the size of leaf chunk she can manipulate.

@retroist

OK. This sounds kind of good TBH.

@goaty

They are some of the cutest ants you will find.

Ants have tremendous physical variation. Consider the difference in the legs between turtle ants and leaf cutters.

This photo by Chris Joll shows how compact Cephalotes varians can be. Her body is flat so she can hide in tree bark.

Leafcutter ants have long legs that help them to carry and cut larger leaves. Their bodies are like a compass.

@Tattie

Yes.

@shoq

They are gonna put a fence around it I bet.

@CliftonR

Yes, always on my mind, THAT one.

dang forgot the antennae

She is excited to help you recycle and compost that tree!

@retech

I especially dislike the technical nature of these euphemisms: it implies a precision and omniscience that simply isn’t possible.

It’s just killing people. I get that this is what armies do, but in theory there is a reason. By making it technical do they think the absence of a coherent reason won’t matter?

Yes.

@FandaSin

But you couldn't possibly know what you want to watch! Let the program tell you what to watch... please ... please...

@hypostase

There is nothing elegant or honorable about the "geek tax" and it's not some accomplishment to know how to pay it and get out of the slop machine.

It's like bragging that you brought your own life vest while everyone around you is drowning.

Why can ya'll just say what you are really doing? Are you ashamed? I would be ashamed if I were you. I get it.

"lethal kinetic strike"

I have more respect for a phrase like "waste disposal technician" (garbage man)

What is the purpose of paying for software when a company like Adobe treats you like a free software user and keeps adding things to the app that you don't want and failing to fix the things that make using it harder?

You can *buy* a television *subscribe* to streaming ... but you still need to see ads.

Even minecraft shows ads on the loading screen.
