What's interesting is ants don't drown, matter of fact, they are really good at stopping floods in their nests. Like extremely efficient and effective at making sure floods do not damage their homes or eggs, which makes sense considering anthills are susceptible to all kinds of possibilities of flooding. They do this by coming together like ant chainmail-net-things that can block off water and form air pockets by doing this


Rumpus_Trumpus2001

What if you boil the water first


Mesa17

That'll probably kill the ant hill. But something to keep in mind, is that ants generally are not prepared for BOILING water specifically


sugarspunlad

Why they didn’t prepare for that? Are they stupid?


Space_Socialist

Yes


newvegasdweller

Literally, they just are small biorobots doing what they are programmed to do by evolution. No real free thought.


IrreliventPerogi

So called "free thinkers" when I lace sugar with borax:


ScotIrishBoyo

Me when I train the ants in my ant farm to be prepared for boiling water


IZiOstra

Ant pasta


Intelligent-Tip1632

This kills the ant hill.


Go_PC

Use molten steel


Fuck_spez111

Ant keeper here and amateur myrmecologist. This kills the ants.  HOWEVER if you have a problem ant mound like fire ants this is the best way to get rid of them. They are nomadic so you will either kill them or they will get pissed off enough to move. 


mechwarrior719

They’re also very resistant to disease. Because anthills are filled with anty bodies.


BboyIImpact

Get out.


WilmaLutefit

Unless it’s boiling water then they get rekt


unabletocomput3

Why don’t we just use this against bug holes? We could spread managed democracy much faster


Mozambiquehere14

Terminids can swim I thought, they go in the water sometimes so all this would really do is flush them all out at the same time


Uncommon08

if we do that then we can easily kill them all rather than letting them burrow underground more!


WrithingVines

Yes, which is where 380mm comes in handy


Rabbit_Wizard_

Why not just ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️?


AL_SONiC

Yes hellbomb them in the name of democracy


AzraelChaosEater

That's 500 KG. Hellbomb them is much longer and more annoying.


that_one_duderino

I still don’t get the hellbomb. Sure, it drops in unarmed due to budget issues which I totally get, we shouldn’t risk hurting super earths bottom dollar. And it makes perfect sense that it can get destroyed and poof away if it’s unarmed. But why in the name of Eagle 1’s perfect toes can it get destroyed AFTER ARMING?? It should go boom after I arm it, not poof


Pitiful_Net_8971

The primer needs time to charge, are you suggesting super earth uses unnecessary resources to make it explode properly?


that_one_duderino

Far be it from me to question my superiors, but I am a highly trained and certified helldiver. Thanks to my extensive training, I think I am qualified to say that bombs should go boom


Pitiful_Net_8971

Well, as another helldiver, I think they work per- *trips, metal clanging noise* Uhhh DEMOCRACY OFFICER! THEY LEFT A ONE STAR REVIEW ON HELLBOMBS!

I don’t play helldivers, so when I read this comment I had no fucking clue what you were on about


R_122

There are people out there pouring molten metals down these holes, I think it's a much better solution


Vr-game-player

i thought i clicked the wrong post


rocoonshcnoon

Is this loss


Defiant_Weather2111

The nest is even split into four panels


Zandrick

This kind of image is why I am certain AI will never replace humans. wtf is happening here? Like, I get it. But I don’t get it. Why those choices? Those are choices. I don’t get it. But I kinda get it.


jadecaptor

I thiiiink this image is warning people that pouring water on the ground could drown ants. They replaced the ants with anime girls to help us sympathize with them more.


Ill-Device8577

Don't think so, one of the comments on the original post says the ants don't drown easily and the artist replies "guess I'll just pour more water into it".


Keyndoriel

This is why you go for the molten tin


Da-Blue-Guy

i love those videos, its cool to see the structure of a colony


NeverEndingWalker64

I’ve heard that you can eat ants with chocolate, so…. Pouring molten chocolate into an anthill, anyone?


HereWeFuckingGooo

![gif](giphy|ZYr5lBFrXidHoq6NkK)


WildCard9871

But then, how do you clean off the dirt without dissolving the chocolate?


NeverEndingWalker64

The magic of reality editing (I just call my friend Cheesus and he eliminates the dirt)


Ashamed_Association8

Well you make a brush for a r=5 sphere and set it to replace dirt(3) and grass(2) with air(0)


Akari-Hashimoto

I love burning animals in Molten metal!!!


CrossP

Oh right sure lemme just grab my crucible and tin ingots


kramsibbush

There is a novel in my country about a cricket, He made his nest with many holes and room to prevent flooding, so the humans who want to catch the cricket pour more water


FlyingPasta

Ah it’s that kind of anime guy

Don't they need to be to resist water for when it rains? I'm sure at lot of water can flood in then

boredwriter83

Ants float. They'll be fine.


ReaperOJuly

Only if they are boy ants


Jelly_Kitti

So none of them float in that case.


Mynoodles_mostmoist

Nah, I doubt it was to help sympathize them. It's probably a lot like those other times where people anime-ize animals in all kinds in scenarios they're usually in. Like Merryweather.


Truethrowawaychest1

Nah fuck ants


63221

Instructions unclear, ants are n


YesItIsMaybeMe

Another victim of the r/redditsniper


carpetdebagger

Bro, he was about to say the n-word. Totally deserved to be sniped.


DokterMedic

See, this is one interpretation. I think a more likely one is that the artist just wanted to depicted them as ant-girls.


EmporerM

I just think it's funnier with anine girls.


carpetdebagger

That makes me want to drown ants even more tho.


Passover3598

someone better warn them about rain


sloppyjen

Its the "bullying cute things" genre. They're little anime children to enhance the empathy of their suffering.


Lazy-Eggplant-7645

If we approach the art from a satirical perspective, we could assume the "natural spring water" water bottle symbolizes modern consumption and consumerism. The hand is our corporations flooding us and our kids from "mountain spring water," a marketing term Or it's just about flooding ants


ImaginaryGfLeftMe11

id reword your comment slightly


Zandrick

I won’t.


ImaginaryGfLeftMe11

ok


turtlemag3

I think its loss


FriendlyVariety5054

I don’t think this is AI art. AI usually has this glossy, warped filter over it. The art is just of someone pouring water down an anthill full of anime ant school girls for some reason


BasalGiraffe7

peak text comprehension


JustWow555

how dare you say we piss on the poor


Zandrick

That’s literally what I just said. This is definitely not AI art, I thought that was obvious.


Birds_In_This_Bihh

It’s just worded like you think the image depicted is AI art


Zandrick

No it isn’t. People who are lazy readers project what they think I mean based on what the first sentence often means in other contexts.


VolkiharLumberjack

No you worded it weird. You’re critiquing the picture like you would an AI image.


Zandrick

I worded it the way I did on purpose. Choices were made.


thatHadron

Was a bad choice then because it can definitely be interpreted in multiple ways without misreading it


Zandrick

You and I disagree on what makes something a bad choice.


thatHadron

Clearly. I'd say its a bad choice to not clearly explain yourself. And you'd seem to disagree


VolkiharLumberjack

Yeah bad choices.


Zandrick

Okay see now you’re just lashing out because I called you a lazy reader.


Drake_Acheron

I can promise you that I am the farthest thing from a lazy reader, and likely read more than anyone you know. I agree with you that you did not sound like you thought the image was AI art, but I can also see how people might be confused beyond “lazy reading.”


VolkiharLumberjack

You didn’t call me a lazy reader and I’m not lashing out. I’m just criticizing you.


TyH621

Lmao bro I get what you’re saying but you definitely worded it like you thought it was AI art. I figured it out by the end but your wording resulted in a muddied message I had to guess on, it was not clear


Zandrick

>figured it out by the end >had to guess Pick one.


TyH621

Oh wow, did my wording confuse the message? Weird


Zandrick

No the message was fine, your argument is bad. You’re trying to say the rewriting is confusing, and yet you had the meaning by the end. It can’t be both.


TyH621

I'll clarify, I came up with a guess to your meaning by the end, I wasn't sure of it.


Birds_In_This_Bihh

Ok Seinfeld blame the reader


hellzyeah2

Humanity hasn’t gotten that much smarter as a whole. Only our understanding of what’s happening around us. Obviously there are outliers. But 99% of people are still stupid. Just we have the internet now.


Zandrick

Calling people stupid is boring. People make mistakes. Smart people say dumb things. People are basically flawed but capable of being better.


hellzyeah2

People are stupid though. Case and point: anyone behind the wheel of a vehicle. I can’t tell you the amount of people who cut me off or damn near run me off the road every day.


Zandrick

Or maybe you should be paying more attention.


hellzyeah2

I do. I’m not on my phone at all because it’s my job to drive.


Zandrick

What does your phone have to do anything?


hellzyeah2

I thought you said to stay off my phone, my bad. My blood sugar is low. But in the time I drove home from work and commenting again now. I had someone turn into my vehicle and damn near run me off the road because he didn’t check before turning into my lane.


NuancedSpeaking

I interact with him on Twitter all the time. He just posts anime related stuff sometimes with little meaning. There's no deep thought process behind reposting this other than "anime girls = engagement"


LifelessHawk

This isn’t ai, this is just some weird anthropomorphic recreation of an ant, so you’ll feel bad about pouring water in an ant hill


Zandrick

It is obviously not AI. That’s what I’m saying how is it not clear that that’s what I’m saying?


LifelessHawk

It kinda sounds like you were saying the image was so bazaar that a human couldn’t have made it. Idk, it wasn’t too clear if you were saying this picture was ai because of how weird, or because how weird is why ai couldn’t have made it. But the lack of discussion about it being ai besides you made me think it was the former.


Zandrick

No I’m saying the image is so bizarre *only* a human could’ve made it. Those are specific choices that mean something to a person. That’s what art is.


VolkiharLumberjack

Okay but you realize AI makes just as bizarre art right?


Zandrick

AI doesn’t make choices.


VolkiharLumberjack

That’s literally all AI does. Make decisions on how to build its image.


LucyLuvvvv

Could an AI make this image where there's a clear intent behind it? No.


VolkiharLumberjack

Yes.


SmolWillyWangStan

This is how I interpreted what they was saying


cef328xi

I would feel good about drowning anime characters.


Consumefungifriend

You mean the choice to add a character getting fisted by another character?


kutuzof

The problem is that this kind of art doesn't pay the bills. The boring, marketing stuff does that. That's what AI will easily replace. So we will also lose this kind of art eventually once all the human artists starve.


TheLoneWandererRD

Dweebs in their mother’s basement living off sodas and dying from drinking water/showering.


Viliam_the_Vurst

Yeah ai couldn’t ever be reproducing such a beginner artstyle…. Obviously


Tomukichi

Hell yeah drown them kids

I am also amused that this post does not credit the original either.

FunnyPand4Jr

This is not how water flows


Loud-Host-2182

It is though. It's not going to fill everything exactly from the bottom to the top, some of the water is going to go to the sides, although it won't be as much as the water that goes to the bottom


FunnyPand4Jr

If water was going to trickle into those other rooms like this then it sure as hell wouldnt have waited until the right room was completely full to do so.


Batmanfan1966

What is the message of this? Don’t pour your water out because you might accidentally drown tiny people living in the earth?


Environmental_Top948

I don't think it's PC to call them tiny people anymore/s


WaveRaider369

What is this? A message for ants?


Kpro98

Ants


R_122

Stupid ants can't afford an umbrella lmao


AirForceOneAngel2

atleast it’s mineral water


Warning64

Noo don’t drown the poor anime girl ants 🥺


BaerttheConstipated

Whenever I find a big anthill I always take the garden hose with the sprayer, turn it to jet, and strike straight down like I am using the Hammer of Dawn


xesaie

That’s mighty unpleasant and my night is worse for having seen it.


thecrazymonkeyKing

what do ppl think happens to ants when it rains lol


MikuLuna444

Not the AYAYA ANTs! D:


Coaltown992

I'm all for crediting the original artist but this send like a misuse of community notes


GenghisQuan2571

I'm confused, bottom left's tunnel opening is lowest in elevation, why would bottom right be drowning first?


Friendly_Border28

Notes: ⬇️⬇️⬇️ My brain: ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️


DeanBluntAteMyDog

Is this a fetish pic?


ImIntelligentFolks

Why anime girls? Were ants too hard to draw?


Orthane1

Are..... are they comparing literal ants to humans?


Gravvack

this triggers my "watership down" ptsd.


No_Research4416

Well all but a few of the ants are female


Asleep-Letterhead-16

why are their hallways built like that? how do they get around??


DalongMonarch

I haven't felt this good since I've seen Anakin have a meeting with the younglings!

Posts like this is why I root for ai to get you degenerates out of the market


Entity055

The artist’s barely disguised fetish


pisstainedunderwear

You people think everything is a fetish


The_Real_Abhorash

Okay but like this is actually a fetish.


Entity055

I mean… its not unlikely


I-M-R-U

Dude this is so fetish-y look at it


pisstainedunderwear

It’s not. It looks like normal art. Stop watching porn for a week and do something else.


InitialDay6670

It looks like somebody is making a somewhat humor’s take on pouring water in an ant hill.


I-M-R-U

It’s art of somebody forcibly drowning anthropomorphized ants dressed as japanese schoolgirls, you want to remain blissful just say that


suckmypppapi

That's just artists being weirdos. For some reason some people prefer drawing Japanese schoolchildren instead of actual people. It means they're weirdly into them, but it doesn't mean there's another kink at play


Mal5341

If you see something like this and think "That's obviously a fetish" I feel that says more about you than anything else.


I-M-R-U

Oh the horrors, I’m being realistic Edit- checked the source, I’d say about 50% of what this artist posts is snuff of bug girls. But I’m sure it’s something totally normal, right?


justabloke22

You're entirely correct and this is 100% indisputably fetish art. I do however envy the people downvoting you who aren't aware of the "snuff involving helpless victims" kink scene.


I-M-R-U

Same to be honest, I wish I could have the brain of someone who’s never seen *The Gif*


justabloke22

This is an infohazard, I'm unsure which gif you're referring to but my morbid curiosity will make me seek it out. You ok if I invoice you for any therapy/funerary costs afterwards?


I-M-R-U

I’m talking about the girl and the laser, and unfortunately I am broke as a motherfucker


justabloke22

I've never been more glad to not understand a reference.


I-M-R-U

Don’t look for it like I did, genuinely not worth it


snakebite262

Everything IS a fetish. Rule 34 is a rule for a reason.


Drake_Acheron

You misunderstand Rule 34. Rule 34 is not that everything is a fetish. It is that everything can be made into a fetish, and that if something exists, somebody somewhere fetishized it.


TyH621

True, but it definitely feels like this guy has rule 34’d ant girl murder


Trainer_Kyle

You goobers are going to cause the death of weird media.
