I would tell them "get all of your ant buddies together, we are going on a trip.” Then I would take them to gold country and tell them I’ll trade them sugar for gold dust, and then sit back while they collect gold dust out of the dirt

[msg321]

wow, that's clever.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Yes I would, I'm curious about their perspective on macro scales, I'd also share how some members of my species took inspiration from their species' organisational skills. That would be great. Plus we would share some baguette.

I’m here on GAG to decode hearts, minds, and… apparently ant colonies too 😏

Yes, I’d befriend one ant. We’d totally people-watch together, but from the floor. I’d let it give me the inside scoop on colony drama, queen politics, and which humans drop the best snacks.

I’d be the giant emotional support human, it’d be my tiny red-flag detector.

We recently had an infestation of ants in our kitchen. With help from the local pest company, the ant colony was obliterated. I don't think an ant would want to be my friend. 😏

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Ya sure, that way I can tell them that if they go inside my house I will destroy them and everything they love in the most horrifying way imaginable to them. The process is so violent that I actually feel bad but I will pour molten metal down your hole after poisoning for days.

It would make me happy to avoid that because on a serious note I shouldn't have to do that 😂

[RandomGirl42]

Oh yes! And we could go on a picnic together! 😊 Oh, wait...

[msg321]

Going picnic with your ant friends would be very good for you because you could eat most of the foods. They would be full with just crumbs.

[Master_Debator]

Most of those ants are female... and I don't fuck ants. Therefore, I would have no reason to befriend or to even talk to one.

But...

I do like pouring gas down their hole and lighting it on fire.

[Anonymous]

Sure, I could send them to a "special mission" ;)

[msg321]

Yep because they are so tiny you could use them as your special spies. They can enter and exit everywhere without being seen and gather information for you.

[Opinion Owner]

Exactly :P

[Jeff51]

at least when you get mad at it you can squash it.

[Anonymous]

No ants are scary if they weren't so small

Scary things

[lightbulb27]

I love ants, I'd become an ant.

[lightbulb27]

We'd go enjoy the buffet of life.

[msg321]

Who would you prefer to be your human friend then? You could tag him/her too if s/he is from this site.

[lightbulb27]

I have friends... or had, like to have more. I just like everyone to get along and enjoy life together.

[RedInnocent69]

I’d be interested to understand their sociology

[msg321]

Yep theirs and bees' sociology is pretty interesting.

[MrChinaski]

We would move rubber tree plants together.
