Until they discovered the internet and went on to believe insecticide was good for them.

Eh, only seems unworldly because as people, the more of us, the dumber we become. Like one person, fairly intelligent. But a group of people?...

Do not fuck with ants. There are more of them and they are smarter than us.

I see a stop motion video with a thing that they moved around on a table to take still shots of. Ants like the thing but did they really move it? Nah.

Why did you crop the whole video?
The VoiceOver here is BS, but that's the whole video:

Hmmm. "Humans were prevented from talking, like ants."
Ants absolutely communicate.

Why would ants want to move a letter T ?
Did they already move the A, N ?

One would hope IF I had the same set up in front of me I could figure out what those ants were able to figure out. BUT, having a much larger brain didn't help me to figure it out visually....Thanks OP!!😂

Are these really ants? I was totally unaware they could work to move things together. I've never seen that. Now i suppose they are quite smart to figure this out. But have they figured out how they will get that down to their nest?

Theyre ants. They communicate through hormones mostly. The motivator would be theyre hungry they think this is food. They would do this because of food. Hopefully that helps.

u/PronoiarPerson 2d ago
So the red T is food then? They are trying to bring the food back to the nest.

u/The_Crimson_Fuckr69 2d ago
If not directly food. It is probably baited to be read as such by the ants.
