Put a few in individual test tubes and you can give starter ant colonies as Spring (Easter? anything like that) gifts for all your friends!
I love to put an ant colony in an Easter basket for the right sorts of kids at church. (with instructions on care)
Their parents have mixed feelings but it's educational.
Hold on. I don't think people think "Apple is doomed" on mastodon. It's a huge company with a lot of inertia and maybe even a little forward motion at moments.
I just don't think ANY big companies are well loved here. Not when so many US companies have aligned with the state so openly. How could you still respect them much at all.
And the whole AI thing is kind of embarrassing. Overblown. But we've seen fads before.
IDK I think he's overstating it.
I like how it's also implied this truck is full of "facebook"
OMG How did I miss this?
But if you haven't seen the show I will explain it. I always explain jokes if asked.
I will not be taking any complaints. It does what it says on the warning label and you clicked on it.

FYI #PicaTheCat has requested that I show her how everyone voted?
Listen I'm sorry! She is VERY purrsuasive.
What keeps you up at night more?
That is a very appealing tree.
Have not seen it yet but our creepy and exuberant corner of the fedi is kind of toxic for this type of thing. For now. 
Ant crime is, in fact, a big problem. But as with humans, it mostly involves trying to do coups, and take over nests of other ants.
Oh it's an adult ant, she's just holding her body like a pupae so she can be carried easily.
I've taken video of this.

I will. I've been watching for an affordable copy for a long time and one popped up today. All of the plates look like they are in good condition so this should be fun.
There. Is. No. Such. Thing. As. A. "Police Ant"
The strange thing about this engraving? It's a very accurate deception of ants performing "social carrying" I guess they gave it a silly caption to make it more interesting?
Someone was really observing ants and it was not whoever was setting the text.
(A better caption: An ant carries her sister to a new nest. She may be too young to navigate on her own without getting exhausted or lost, or she may be injured and in need of rest.)
Illustration from "The living world: a complete natural history of the world's creatures" by J.W. Buel was first published in 1891 (I just scored a copy!)
I'm obsessed with these deep sea creatures that are based on rumors heresy and globsters from fishing nets:
I also have some choice words about the inaccuracy of the section on ants.
2 hoods. Well la te da! Not everyone has all those hoods.
Listen tumblr started this whole "does it have nipples" thing with their strange policies. THIS WAS NOT MY FAULT.
But ants don't even have any nipples! I thought that was the whole issue. "presentation of the nipple" or something?
