That gave me a good chortle. Thanks for making my dumb thought funnier 😊
They don’t care.
Project 2025 says the ideal US population number is around 100 million. That means we need to shed about 250 million people.
This is all according to plan.
Honestly was just the first example I could come up with, but the fact remains that a lot of things do consider ants to be harmless because they aren’t, like, hunting those things. Especially other small arthropods.
I’m sure there are some hunting ant species (like the 200 army ant species), but most of them aren’t.
Consider: the goal isn’t for predators to be fooled, but prey.
Lots of things consider ants totally harmless, like aphids that gets farmed and stuff. Perhaps it’s an adaptation to throw those things off.
Arthropods, man. They have two ideals and everything goes toward them.
When I was working on my degree (science communication; half science, half linguistics and communications courses), I had the choice between making it a B.S. or B.A.
I went for a B.S. Guess I chose wrong. I figured it was all BS anyway..
I do the same thing. I’m also perfectly comfortable saying I was wrong if I was, and most people aren’t. I assume you are the same.
No one person can know everything. But learning and updating the information that shapes my picture of reality is something enjoyable. I’d like it to be as accurate as possible. It blows my mind that many other people aren’t like that at all. No intellectual curiosity whatever.
Though I do prefer more even-keeled discussion over combative tone. It’s just unnecessary and produces bad feels.
This is the second reference to elbows I’ve seen related to this topic, and I really don’t understand. Would you mind providing context?
Guess I’ll have to give that a rewatch, thanks!
What is this from?
We’ll smuggle you out.
I feel like any major restructure like that would require some sort of open border policy, even if temporary, simply because people have never had any reason to not move..? And if we Balkanize with closed borders from go, well that’s for sure going to cause conflict.
So you are telling me I should have stayed up until 6:05AM, rather than going to bed when I physically couldn’t handle doomscrolling anymore at 6:04?
Why wasn’t there anything good in the prior 12-24 hrs? What kind of casino is this, to not give me even a teeny tiny dopamine hit to keep me coming back?
