The Taint Reaper
Sep 4, 2012

by Shine
He wanted a real live ant farm so he bought a terrarium. And filled it with this gel type of material that has food in it.

Instead of ordering ants through the mail he disrupted a local ant colony by destroying the ground and kept digging until he apparently found the queen. He dumped the queen and a bunch of ants into a Tupperware container and brought them home. There was also a fuckton of eggs he scooped out in assorted stages of incubation(and also crushed a few)

This is the 3rd time he's done this because the last two attempts he wound up accidently killed the queen with a shovel. Honestly he said he was doing this for his kids, but kids want a real pet like a puppy or a kitten, not some lovely ants. I think this is more for him because he attached a bunch of blacklights to the tank to make everything glow purple.

If he waits long enough he can use his accrued interest from his savings to bring his negative checking balance back into the black.

What I do for ants is wait until the maiden queenflights, then dig them out of the ground when they burrow to start their nests but they are still only a few inches below the surface.

You idiot, just dig up a dog's nest until you find the queen dog and then you'll have free dogs for life.

children pay attention to their pets and imitate them. as gbs's resident anthologist, i can say that too much antxposure will teach your children to share food directly from mouth to mouth, communicating via pheromones emitted from the feelers on their foreheads, and crawling up bigger animal's butts. they will also start identifying as gamergates, which is quite unfortunate, considering the current-day prominence of gamer culture

Reporting for shovel mission Sir.
In college a stoner friend got an ant farm and then did everything wrong. So the ants started dying, and the live ants would take the body out of the tunnels over to a graveyard. Repeat 98 times and there are 98 bodies in the graveyard and two ants still working, until one dies and the last ant takes his body to the graveyard, returns to work, and dies.

A metaphor.

OK I DON'T GET IT
That's not going to work out, queens don't like that gel substrate stuff and generally walk around on top of it instead of digging in and making a proper egg chamber. Your friend should use clean soil.

that gel stuff only keeps ants alive for like a month. it would be like if you had to live inside of a huge marshamallow and carve all your rooms out by eating the mallow.

oh yeah and you have to keep eating out rooms because your poo poo fills up the old ones
