If you could verbally speak (in your preferred language) with any species still living on Earth, which species would you choose to communicate with? (lemmy.ca)

Ants in Gaelic.

  • They're ubiquitous
  • They have a very different lifestyle, so would be super interesting to talk to
  • They eat all sorts of things, can get anywhere, and can fuck up electronics. Seems like a nice friend to have...
  • They are warlike and territorial, so I'm hoping for some leeway in terms of judgment for what humans have done to the planet.

Gaelic because whimsy

    Hmm seems smart but I mean I'd rather I only run the risk of saying the wrong thing to a species that's largely solitary or at least doesn't live in really big groups that engage in organised warfare. If I piss off one cat that's hopefully not as big a deal as pissing off a whole super colony of ants.
