    Just stick your bare hand in this bag and grab whatever you need. Did I mention that your share are all bullet ants?

    Don't listen to this guy. Stick your hand in MY bag. There's no bullet ants in here. Just reach in, and grab the handle inside, and shake it to release the ants.

    Yeah girl, shake it real hard! Just like that! Yeeeeaaaahhhhh.......

    I've got a mechanical device that will shake the ants out .... I'll just crank it up to 10,000 rpm so I can get my ants fast and be on my way ..... let me just adjust the carburetor so I pull start the engine to get started .... HOLD STILL!!!

    I don't think the average person could defend themselves against 2.5m ants. They could overthrow us at any moment.

    It may sound like a lot, but that’s at maximum just 12.5kg (around 27.5 pounds) of ants.

    I remember reading once that world wide, all the ants on the planet weigh collectively more than all the elephants put together on the planet.

    At an average weight of 2.5 mg per ant that's 6.25 kg of ants per person or about the weight of a 6 month old human baby.

    So most of them are just living because of reckless abandonment!

    But how many ants are there? [...] "According to our estimates, the global ant population is 20 x 10¹⁵ – that is, 20 quadrillion animals. [...]"

    Divided by 8 billion yields the 2.5 million per person.

    Anyone else have a mental image of the guy in John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness who says "pray for death" as his body falls apart into a pile of ants?

    Well, on my property it’s probably 70 million ants and just me. I’m doing the real work.

    But can they fuck up the environment the way we do? I don't think so
