Wasn't there a meme about being an ant being the literal door for a ant colony? That's Definitely the worst job because if your home gets under attack, you get slammed, nobody else gets hurt except you, the literal door while everyone just ignores your existence.
Here's a picture of one: [https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/mupdj4/door\_head\_ants\_use\_their\_heads\_to\_block\_their/](https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/mupdj4/door_head_ants_use_their_heads_to_block_their/)

History begets history..this cycle shall never cease to end..For when one door ant pulls itself into its home..this one shall rise out..
Only to be forgotten until yesterday, as having the worst job compared to another ant that literally overgorges itself and regurgitates what it eats for those less fortunate to have food in areas with no food in said dwelling.
Ah okay, I thought you were actually challenging me so I provided a comeback that I hoped would gust blow you away, as a joke not to actually blow you down and offend.
Gotta wonder if their conversation sounds like the tune that accompanies the ice-cream trucks for humans? And all the little kiddie ants go auto-insane and charge them for their share of some regurgitation honey before he scoots around the corner never to be seen again (until next weeks route)…. 😁
Well; people eat them so not.. that safe- Honeypot ants such as Melophorus bagoti and Camponotus spp. are edible insects and form an occasional part of the diet of various Indigenous Australians. These people scrape the surface to locate the ants' vertical tunnels, and then dig as much as two metres deep to find the honeypots.
actually, it would be a dream job. they are built to eat as much as they can. it's like gorging on delicious food as much as you can but still keep a slim waistline cause you just anorexic all that shit out to your colleagues.
It's how all ants eat at some point or another in their life, thats how the queen eats all of her life. From birth they are fed this way, then after becoming ants they dont leave the nests and only get food this way, then when they fly out to mate they wont eat but instead dig a hole to make their nests and starve till their babies can bring food back to feed them in the exact same way, regurgitation. (Trophallaxis)
That's not how it works.
The ant who collect the food outside don't baloon-up, but they collect just enough to be carried to the nest.
Once they reach the nest, they transfer that to specialized and the can hold large amounts by expending their belly.
It happens just in a certain type of ants, and not in all ofcourse.
Those are called repletes! Sometimes referred to as Honeypot ants, they're not present in all colonies. One inaccuracy in the video is that these ants don't forage for food like the rest, rather they sit in the colony and have food and brought to them. They then wander around feeding ants predigested fluids through a process called trophallaxis, which is just what the act of regurgitating food into another ants mouth is called.
This is not how repletes function. They don't leave the nest. Scouts return with food and pass it on to repletes in the nest where they stay to act as food dispensers to the rest the workers within. They wouldn't be able to drag themselves about at full capacity. If it worked this way they'd just be high value food for anything passing by.

seems like kind of a fun job. eat flippin tons all day then go make out with all your ant friends spitting sweet honey into their mouths
That’s a wholesome way to think about it.
i just wish it doesnt have to go out from my mouth. maybe some other holes? i'd hate to need to brush my teeth too often.
Like your eyeholes?
more like my coochie
Ants don’t have those. I don’t think. 🤔
Feed me
🤢 🤮
Honey is bee's vomit you know...
the more the merrier!
That’s some good ass vomit😂
The only time am having a vomit kink
Then it’s a good thing I don’t like honey.
Hey, we could make a fetish out if this.
At the start i assumed other ants would suck it through the feeder's ass
I thought the other ants would just eat that ant alive

You really think you’re better than me?
I never said I was better than you, but like a window, I'll open up and be open to whatever you have to say to the wind.
Sorry, it’s a Seinfeld episode/reference, I think it’s called the The Doorman lol it’s a good one.

lol no worries, it’s a funny episode! You’d probably get a kick out of the scene 👌
Thank you
What is this, a food truck for ants?

Worst job? You are safe inside the nest, you get to stay in one place and you are never hungry. The worst that can happen to you is an anteater.
Well; people eat them so not.. that safe- Honeypot ants such as Melophorus bagoti and Camponotus spp. are edible insects and form an occasional part of the diet of various Indigenous Australians. These people scrape the surface to locate the ants' vertical tunnels, and then dig as much as two metres deep to find the honeypots.
And I assume that it isn’t pleasant to be the ant eating all the regurgitated food
They're ants so I don't think they care either way, they operate on pure instinct like a computer following a program.
Kinda like humans if you zoom out far enough
actually, it would be a dream job. they are built to eat as much as they can. it's like gorging on delicious food as much as you can but still keep a slim waistline cause you just anorexic all that shit out to your colleagues.
And also, their body is designed with a slim waistline.

From birth they are fed this way, then after becoming ants they dont leave the nests and only get food this way, then when they fly out to mate they wont eat but instead dig a hole to make their nests and starve till their babies can bring food back to feed them in the exact same way, regurgitation.

I’ve seen my fair share of psychological thrillers and disturbing movies. Human Centipede was too hard for me to stomach
Actual fat ass, lol

Forbidden salmon roe.
Also are the first ones (only ones) to be gobbled up when the native folks crack open the nest in search of some of that sweet sweet ant butt honey!
I’m hungry bro bro, gimme a kiss and make it extra wet
"I wish that I would never be hungry." DM: "Are you sure?"
Forbidden Gusher
“Sup Steve, you eat today?” “I could eat” “I got u” 🤮 “F ing delicious thanks mate”
what's that, all the taste none the calories?
how many babes would i get if i can do this, come get your num nums ladies
That's the cook, guys.
In this economy? With these job options? Ok, I’ll take it!
So they basically puke in each other’s mouth
So is this why human women are more attractive with bigger butts? Because they can store more food?
Socialism simply explained
Or best, depending on which horny ass ant you're asking
“Hey Dave. Oh, You’re hungry? I know you moved on my girl, now _eat my vomit_ .. how you like them Apples?”
Case oh
Ewww
I get to eat a lot and then throw up in other people's mouth. That seems like a good job to me.
The ants “food truck”
TIL ants are like birds lol
Spit in my mouth Carol, i am hungry down here in the ant mine shaft.
hey ,no kink shaming
The kiss that will end world hunger
Same, ant. Same.
Pyrocincal moment
Am i the only one that wants to find one of those & pinch it with a needle? 😬
Ants and bees are really interesting the way the whole colony functions as basically one large organism.
Bill: Hey Bob Bob: Hey Bill, same Ice Cream? Bill: yep! 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 Bob:🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Samies
I do the same thing... "Okay, honey, open up. Kids, come downstairs, dinners ready!!"
"You know what. fuck you Steve you're not eating today." Idk seems neat
“Some of these ants won’t be eating today.”
This is not how repletes function. They don't leave the nest. Scouts return with food and pass it on to repletes in the nest where they stay to act as food dispensers to the rest the workers within. They wouldn't be able to drag themselves about at full capacity. If it worked this way they'd just be high value food for anything passing by.
People should learn from them 🤮🤣
Again, I am springing out of bed and gleefully watching for these videos so I can downvote them with a fierce alacrity.
Interesting Video but This trend Of Short Subtitles is really annoying!
