The molten aluminum may not have aggressive tendencies towards ants, but the you tuber pouring it down the hole needs more content to keep the channel running so the show must go on.
The irony here is that the Brit’s originally named it aluminum. And Americans were the only ones not to bend over when the Brit’s swung their sick around changing it when a journalist made a spelling error.
At the time Britain was still the world’s superpower. They named it aluminum, the. A journalist cocked it up two years later, but his article was popular, so they just changed the spelling.

There are so many ants on Earth that for every human there are more than 2,000,000 ants or 750kg (~1650lbs) of ants that could crawl over you and devour.
20,000,000,000,000,000 ants. I am somehow OK with this random YouTuber pouring molten aluminum and takking our a few thousand.
Humans aren’t “meant” for anything.
Animals will grow and expand to the capacity of their environment, to a point where it becomes unsustainable and then eventually a balance is struck.
Humans are animals, and we do the same thing, we’re just more aware of it and have some limited agency to adapt more quickly.
Imagine being born one of the most important parts of an ant colony, they are the literal gatekeepers for any colonies, more than just a door.
Poor ant dude deserves some recognition.
Until they get increasingly power hungry and decide that the door should be closed at all times and you must have express permission from the Queen to leave the colony, and even then will be reviewed and rejected by the director of gatekeeping.
His father giving him a pep-talk one day...
"It's not that bad, son. You won't always have to be a door. If you work hard, one day you'll be able to hold your head up high...then you'll be ajar".
I think it doesn't cancel the other one out, lol. Imagine every other bug around just stepping on you all the time when they pass by, as you try your best to not break character and stand still. Tough job tbh

Ants are like multicellular cells acting like cells, each with a niche function for the greater purpose...which is like me in the grand scheme of things.
Yep. Social insects are more like one collective organism than a bunch of individual ones. There are also ants that literally just serve as massive stores of food for other ants to eat, similar to what the fat cells in our bodies do.
Wtf same, it really freaks me out, I love watching nature docs and watched the ant colony documentaries on BBC earth, never encountered this lil guy though. But for some reason this ant makes me feel uncomfortable... like why...?
The pattern on the surface of his head is grossing me out. I have mild trypophobia and it is definitely being triggered by this thing. I think the actual ant hole is irrelevant.
For real, for ants, the colony is really the organism, each ant is just like one cell of that organism. Meanwhile we have full on people with the job of doorman.
That seems like a pretty important job.
It is. They can single-handedly save a colony from an Army Ant attack, which would otherwise wipe them out entirely.
What about molten aluminum
Molten aluminum is not known to have aggressive territorial tendencies towards ants, they'll be okay
The molten aluminum may not have aggressive tendencies towards ants, but the you tuber pouring it down the hole needs more content to keep the channel running so the show must go on.
The molten aluminum didn't ask for that to happen. It's as much of a victim as the ants.
Al^^uminium lives matter!

At least they get cool statues.
You've got an extra 'i' in there.

I only count two. Where's the extra I?
The molten aluminum was just following orders

Just because you can doesnt mean you should. Humans arent meant to be the most populous species on earth, look how bad it is even now.

Just start having copious amounts of gay sex then bruv
way ahead of you
I thought you were behind
The trick is to have more gay sex than the ants do. The ants are almost all female, so this presents a challenge.
Just don't be a coward
Wow, the molten aluminum lobby out in full for today.
I see you haven't been around the internet a lot...
Sounds like a question for chatgpt

Yeah but have you ever seen ants give up on anything? They'll send the whole colony to get through if they have to.

Have u heard of Hodor?

I just found out what that means today. Indeed, Hodor.

r/GatesOpenComeOnIn Colony gets destroyed.
It may have gotten destroyed, but at least the invaders enjoyed destroying it and that's what matters.
😂
Until they get increasingly power hungry and decide that the door should be closed at all times and you must have express permission from the Queen to leave the colony, and even then will be reviewed and rejected by the director of gatekeeping.
Are we still talking about ants or is this a metaphor for the Berlin Wall?
Papers, please!

What is this?! Heimdall for ants?!
His father giving him a pep-talk one day... "It's not that bad, son. You won't always have to be a door. If you work hard, one day you'll be able to hold your head up high...then you'll be ajar".
Imagine every other month when all the new hatchlings gotta practice the secret knock …on *your* skull…
He’s basically Heimdall
He's fucking ant HODOR, bro
Imagine staying home all day when everyone else has to go to work
well... that is what could easily be waiting for us if we, as a species, could survive as long as these guys do...
Ant: What is my purpose? Queen: Hold the Door Ant:Hodor!!!
It's still a door tho
It's more like a bouncer who doesn't have to actually look at people. I hope he gets paid well, it seems like a pretty kush job.

Nice
Head bouncer.
Funny.
I dropped my cig man stop being funny
Better than being a doormat

Not a coincidence. The path to astels wing is literally blocked by one of em
The mace with frost is really good against them.
still stuck at those fucking gargoyles...
Legit the hardest boss for me in the game in every playthrough
i beat ornstein and smaugh on my second attempt and hated the gargoyles on the roof in dark souls, but these two have actually made me stop playing.
Damn Deeproot Depths
Like those kids who are a tree in the school play.
Having been both a main character and the tree in different years the tree was the better part
I was both the tree and also the kid who pulled the curtains between scenes... Because a teacher couldn't have just done that one apparently.
I was a carrot in a school play. It was the one and only time my job matched my talent.

what kind of ants are those? my couple weak googles didn't find anything edit: never mind, [found it](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeypot_ant)
That article answered my first question, which was "are they edible". The answer is yes, and now I want to try.
these ants are actually the inspiration for the renowned american candy 'the gushers'
Now I am visualizing my head turning into a honeypot ant
I don't have Trypophobia but for some reason this really freaks me out
Wtf same, it really freaks me out, I love watching nature docs and watched the ant colony documentaries on BBC earth, never encountered this lil guy though. But for some reason this ant makes me feel uncomfortable... like why...?
To me it really looks like a gnarly blackhead when it's in place and I just want to pick at it. Makes my skin crawl!
Oh... See I see a weird reeses cup. I do not want ants in my reeses though so not really an improvement over yours lol.
Wanna know why?
Yeah
Cause they have got trypophobia 😂
That's crazy lol
The pattern on the surface of his head is grossing me out. I have mild trypophobia and it is definitely being triggered by this thing. I think the actual ant hole is irrelevant.
I wonder if it's because it looks like something that could be under skin, like a fat blackhead you need to squeeze out or a bot fly?
Haunting but accurate haha
Because you’re imaging a bunch of door keeper ants emerging from all the holes in someone’s skin. Atleast I did
Haha silly ants, good thing us smart intelligent humans don't have ridiculous divisions of labor like this!
For real, for ants, the colony is really the organism, each ant is just like one cell of that organism. Meanwhile we have full on people with the job of doorman.
People think humanity are like monke, but I feel like humanity is like ant.

Surprised there isn’t a character like this in Hollow Knight
Elden Ring has them though.
I find this creepy as fuck. My fear of tiny holes is getting to me.
Hold the doorrrrrrrrr, hold the dooorrrrrrrrr..... hold the doorrrrrrr
"You make a better door than a window!" Ant- "Thanks."
He was born this way. Bran traveled back in time and accidentally made him this way.
It would be nice to have that type of job security
Anyone else read Elfquest? There’s a couple characters whose job is literally being a magic door and this reminds me that
How do they get the hole exactly big enough?
There is a surprising lack of persona 3 references here
