There are ant species that know how to do slavery man.

There are species that will breed super soldiers and sucide bombers. Ants are fucked up. All this for an m&m.

The sugar must flow.

Wait until you see what they do for a single drop of soda

Imagine a human found a massive round ball of extremely calorie dense food 3 times the size and 10 times the weight of them that doesn't expire and tastest delicious.

Humans would've fought to the death over that before modern times. Hell they still would in some places.

u/OneMisterSir101 2h ago

And oil doesn't even taste good.

u/wassupdawg-1 2h ago

But oil burns good

u/avokkah 2h ago

i mean, thats basically human's version with food included as well. whatever we can eat, whatever we can burn good, whatever we can drink, we fight over. then, now, forever

Ants don't care about color.

It's all about smell. If your neighbour smells weird, it's time for war.

u/Satanicjamnik 5h ago

I fought every dude I met that smells weird, I'd never lay down my arms...

2

u/OneMisterSir101 2h ago

Well, maybe if you lowered your arms, it wouldn't smell all the time!

1

u/Satanicjamnik 2h ago

Never thought of that...

2

u/Neveed 4h ago

But if you were an ant, you would have six arms.

2

u/Satanicjamnik 4h ago

And mandibles!

2

u/Neveed 4h ago

And potentially wings.

2

u/Satanicjamnik 4h ago

Finally, I'd be a perfect creature.

2

u/Neveed 4h ago

Unless you're from a different colony. In this case, you wouldn't be perfect, because you would smell weird. And that would mean war.

Could I sow chaos by using a perfume directly on a colony? Making everyone think everyone is a stranger?

1

u/Neveed 2h ago

That may work. You could also create a death spiral.

u/LunessaThorn 1h ago

Bro said 'its not racism, its chemistry' and declared war on the neighbors👽

u/raptorrat 5h ago

There's also the Gombe Chimpanzee war (1974-1978), And the Ngogo Chimpanzee War (2015- ) which is a currently running civil war.

War, war never changes...

u/iKruppe 5h ago

Which is a better point of proof for OP than ants since ants don't really have individual agency like we do. Chimps however...

u/Mindless-Cat1453 6h ago

People simply don't realise what people accuse things that dolphins do, is done by nearly all the animals in the animal kingdom.

u/Individual-Main895 6h ago

Red ants are running the underground.

u/These-Invite-1774 5h ago

No the reds did not win in America

War was always here. Before man was, war waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting it's ultimate practitioner.

u/One_Suggestion_ 5h ago

In a few more millennia, they gonna go nuclear all the way. Evolution takes time.

u/RestOk9034 5h ago

Red ones go faster, backyard edition.

u/DonnyMox 4h ago

Ant race war?

1

u/RichieLT 4h ago

To war!

u/Jody_Tevlin 4h ago

War is just Territorial grabs on a massive scale

u/dc740 3h ago

Also search for "Gombe Chimpanzee War" and "Chimps vs. Gorillas" news from 2019

1

u/avokkah 2h ago

different scent. IIRC they "know" via pheromones. anyone who smells slightly off from your brand of colony odor is the devil and must be hunted down to protect the colony

u/wafflecone927 3h ago

Bots? What is even the point of their comment?

6

u/TheRed2685 4h ago

Karma farming to get the accounts enough karma to post in all subs, then the bots can be used to project whatever opinion. Some even get used as upvote/downvote bots that people actually pay for to sway opinions.

Dead internet theory not really a theory anymore.

1

u/Robert_Grave 4h ago

Or to sell to people who want to use them to project opinions.

1

u/Sea-Resident-7980 4h ago

No clue, this subreddit is botted as hell though... possibly to make some soft-argument that "war and blasting the sh-t out of others" is normal and just part of life(vs trying to avoid mass casualties)? idk

u/Karnezar 4h ago

To antagonize OP and make them feel dumb.
