If i killed people all the time and was constantly at war, I would have a different view of what my life meant. Why can ants kill ants but we can't kill ants?
We don't kill people anywhere near the scale ants do though. Also the majority of people would either say its an act of god or just say we don't have a chance. If they went out exterminating people jy would be different, but one death does not justify a war
Ok fair but thats like one of our worst traits, our urge to kill everything we don't like and then eachother. Ants are like everything bad about people cranked up
They also depend on each other and cooperate much more than we do. If a human is struggling it could keep trying and keep failing, but an ant would call for help immediately. Most species don’t do everything a human does, they just take one or a few things and turn them up to 11. They are humanity in its extremes, in all factors.
But most ants are so uniform, one of my favourite things about you humans is how unique they are, are thats so hard to see with the ants. They will cooperate, but they will also leave eachother to die, sending them off to hopeless wars. They are just so robotic in my eyes, and they are also terrifying.
Even if they do have free will, I don't like em. They are like tiny murder bots that murder everything they can and the only reason they haven't murderbotted me is because they are smol. And we shouldn't trust them, before one get some lucky strring of mutations that let's them kill us and then they do it to all of us
Yeah but there are also humans that protect endangered animals, keep habitats stable best they can and who adopt animals that can't live without them. And even with all thay, I still wouldn't want a second human species that even more numerous to wipe out the first and become the new dominant animal world wide
Well, ants are similar. They protect their own little group of aphids and keep its population stable. I’m not sure what you’re talking about with the second human species thing, but I do think that if another sapient species emerged there would be a LOT of fighting before any middle ground was reached.
Ants only protect aphids to farm them, which isn't the same as people trying to keep some random animals that they dont use alive. And the second species thing was just we saying even if ants were almost exactly like humans I would rather they didn't become the new world wide super power because of how many there are and how they would be messing up a while bunch of things like endangered animals people are protecting, or invasive species being dealt with
Nah, this is the part of the plot where you accept that I am and always have been right about ants, before falling helplessly and being spared amd made to kill ants forever. I have a copy of the script right here
Lucky for you chucklefucks, I have a copy right here!
A Discussion about Ants
sangwooooh:
What if you happen to kill an ant and the ant leaves discrete trails of formic acid or trail pheromones so that The Clan can bring vengeance
And you never see it coming
“My death might be meaningless to you. But yours won’t be to us.”
ijustreallylikeants:
That’s literally exactly what happens. I’m not even kidding.
i-am-scared-of-ants-offical:
Another reason they are HORRIBLE, they have no forgiveness and so we should show them none either.
ijustreallylikeants:
Well I don’t think you’d be very forgiving if a giant just killed someone
i-am-scared-of-ants-offical:
If i killed people all the time and was constantly at war, I would have a different view of what my life meant. Why can ants kill ants but we can't kill ants?
Humans kill humans all the time, but what would you do if a foot reached down from the skies and killed someone?
i-am-scared-of-ants-offical:
We don't kill people anywhere near the scale ants do though. Also the majority of people would either say its an act of god or just say we don't have a chance. If they went out exterminating people jy would be different, but one death does not justify a war

I don’t know what humanity you know, but the one I know would absolutely wage war against the Foot In The Sky

ijustreallylikeants:
I feel like we’ve had this conversation about ants and free will before.
Also some ants do have some kind of ‘medics’ which do help the injured ants, it’s just that most injuries to an ant are instant death.
i-am-scared-of-ants-offical:
Even if they do have free will, I don't like em. They are like tiny murder bots that murder everything they can and the only reason they haven't murderbotted me is because they are smol.

ijustreallylikeants:
I mean that makes sense. We’re a food source that has yet to be exploited. Some human would harvest an ant byproduct for profit if it was profitable.

You sure? Because my copy says you get devoured by ants and painfully killed.
Maybe we both have the wrong copies, because the producer doesn’t want to reveal the true ending?
i-am-scared-of-ants-offical:
I feel like we should just go with my ending, it seems better over all, just saying
ijustreallylikeants:
I’m sure whatever the producer has in store will blow our minds.
i-am-scared-of-ants-offical:
Yeah... I would ask but I forgor their name so it would just be a really awkward conversation
ijustreallylikeants:
Same. Maybe we can get a third party to ask?
i-am-scared-of-ants-offical:

Well a plot is fiction, and @definiitely-not-ao3-offical is a master of almost all fiction so they might know
definiitely-not-ao3-offical:
. . .
What?

Clearly you didn't read the script.
Lucky for you chucklefucks, I have a copy right here!
If i killed people all the time and was constantly at war, I would have a different view of what my life meant. Why can ants kill ants but we can't kill ants?
We don't kill people anywhere near the scale ants do though. Also the majority of people would either say its an act of god or just say we don't have a chance. If they went out exterminating people jy would be different, but one death does not justify a war
Ok fair but thats like one of our worst traits, our urge to kill everything we don't like and then eachother. Ants are like everything bad about people cranked up
They also depend on each other and cooperate much more than we do. If a human is struggling it could keep trying and keep failing, but an ant would call for help immediately. Most species don’t do everything a human does, they just take one or a few things and turn them up to 11. They are humanity in its extremes, in all factors.
But most ants are so uniform, one of my favourite things about you humans is how unique they are, are thats so hard to see with the ants. They will cooperate, but they will also leave eachother to die, sending them off to hopeless wars. They are just so robotic in my eyes, and they are also terrifying.
Even if they do have free will, I don't like em. They are like tiny murder bots that murder everything they can and the only reason they haven't murderbotted me is because they are smol. And we shouldn't trust them, before one get some lucky strring of mutations that let's them kill us and then they do it to all of us
Yeah but there are also humans that protect endangered animals, keep habitats stable best they can and who adopt animals that can't live without them. And even with all thay, I still wouldn't want a second human species that even more numerous to wipe out the first and become the new dominant animal world wide
Well, ants are similar. They protect their own little group of aphids and keep its population stable. I’m not sure what you’re talking about with the second human species thing, but I do think that if another sapient species emerged there would be a LOT of fighting before any middle ground was reached.
Ants only protect aphids to farm them, which isn't the same as people trying to keep some random animals that they dont use alive. And the second species thing was just we saying even if ants were almost exactly like humans I would rather they didn't become the new world wide super power because of how many there are and how they would be messing up a while bunch of things like endangered animals people are protecting, or invasive species being dealt with
Nah, this is the part of the plot where you accept that I am and always have been right about ants, before falling helplessly and being spared amd made to kill ants forever. I have a copy of the script right here
Lucky for you chucklefucks, I have a copy right here!
A Discussion about Ants
sangwooooh:
What if you happen to kill an ant and the ant leaves discrete trails of formic acid or trail pheromones so that The Clan can bring vengeance
And you never see it coming
“My death might be meaningless to you. But yours won’t be to us.”
ijustreallylikeants:
That’s literally exactly what happens. I’m not even kidding.
i-am-scared-of-ants-offical:
Another reason they are HORRIBLE, they have no forgiveness and so we should show them none either.
ijustreallylikeants:
Well I don’t think you’d be very forgiving if a giant just killed someone
i-am-scared-of-ants-offical:
If i killed people all the time and was constantly at war, I would have a different view of what my life meant. Why can ants kill ants but we can't kill ants?
Humans kill humans all the time, but what would you do if a foot reached down from the skies and killed someone?
i-am-scared-of-ants-offical:
We don't kill people anywhere near the scale ants do though. Also the majority of people would either say its an act of god or just say we don't have a chance. If they went out exterminating people jy would be different, but one death does not justify a war
ijustreallylikeants:
I don’t know what humanity you know, but the one I know would absolutely wage war against the Foot In The Sky
i-am-scared-of-ants-offical:
Ok fair but thats like one of our worst traits, our urge to kill everything we don't like and then eachother. Ants are like everything bad about people cranked up

ijustreallylikeants:
I feel like we’ve had this conversation about ants and free will before.
Also some ants do have some kind of ‘medics’ which do help the injured ants, it’s just that most injuries to an ant are instant death.
i-am-scared-of-ants-offical:
Even if they do have free will, I don't like em. They are like tiny murder bots that murder everything they can and the only reason they haven't murderbotted me is because they are smol. And we shouldn't trust them, before one get some lucky strring of mutations that let's them kill us and then they do it to all of us
ijustreallylikeants:
I mean that makes sense. We’re a food source that has yet to be exploited. Some human would harvest an ant byproduct for profit if it was profitable.
i-am-scared-of-ants-offical:
Yeah but there are also humans that protect endangered animals, keep habitats stable best they can and who adopt animals that can't live without them.

I feel like we’ve lost the plot of the original discussion.
i-am-scared-of-ants-offical:
Nah, this is the part of the plot where you accept that I am and always have been right about ants, before falling helplessly and being spared amd made to kill ants forever. I have a copy of the script right here
ijustreallylikeants:
You sure? Because my copy says you get devoured by ants and painfully killed.
Maybe we both have the wrong copies, because the producer doesn’t want to reveal the true ending?
i-am-scared-of-ants-offical:
I feel like we should just go with my ending, it seems better over all, just saying
ijustreallylikeants:
I’m sure whatever the producer has in store will blow our minds.
i-am-scared-of-ants-offical:
Yeah... I would ask but I forgor their name so it would just be a really awkward conversation
ijustreallylikeants:
Same. Maybe we can get a third party to ask?
