I hate your apostrophe.

[–]psyEDk 68 points69 points ago

ANT IS?

[–]TensukeWoah or whoa? 46 points47 points ago

DAE ANT?

[–]triceracocks 10 points11 points ago

He could've meant "Ant was".

Or he wasn't talking about drinking as a verb but as an antonym to non-potable. The structure is a bit cumbersome and would be better as "Ant's colored drinking water" but English remains a living language constantly changing with use.

But if the apostrophe was being used to pluralize "ant" then they should be hung from the highest tree.

edit: a word (big to bit)

[–]Atario 21 points22 points ago

Hanged.

If you want to go on a grammar rant, always make triply sure that yours is 100% correct first.

... AN INSECT!

What do I win?

[–]RogerElmore 23 points24 points ago

Sometimes I give posts the benefit of the doubt and click expecting a punny literal example of the text. I need to stop.

[–]aengvsLiving life in peace 17 points18 points ago

Maybe the coloured water belongs to Ant the ant, and OP meant to say Ant's coloured drinking water

[–]RPrevolution 2 points3 points ago

This is how I interpreted it (with "drinking" being used as an adjective, as in "water from a drinking fountain"), which brings up the question, how does OP know the ant claims the drinking colored water as its property?

[–]jrgzz20 13 points14 points ago

really no pikmin comments?

[–]NenaptioSpace is deep 2 points3 points ago

First thing I thought of.

[–]Mnky9 0 points1 point ago

I thought it would be top comment...

[–]holyice7 2 points3 points ago

Really more of an apo'strophe, innit?

[–]chalupatroopa[S] 2 points3 points ago

Welp.... shit. There it is. My mistake. I shouldn't post when I'm stoned.

[–]usarmy973 1 point2 points ago

I knew the first comment was going to be about that apostrophe.

[–]jonpaladin 0 points1 point ago

Seriously. Fuck that apostrophe.

[–]neodiogenes 0 points1 point ago

Honestly, I think people do this just to attract more karma, especially on pictures that have been reposted well over a hundred times.

[–]RPrevolution 1 point2 points ago

Hate the playah, not the apostrophe

[–]xHassassin -4 points-3 points ago

It kind of works

Like when you say my drinking water.

Then you add an adjective to it: My red drinking water.

So OP could be talking about one specific ant, and that ant's drinking colored water.

Adjective order is wrong but the apostrophe can work.

[–]iSunMonkey 1 point2 points ago

no.

[–]Lucid_Sky 58 points59 points ago

I now know what inspired Pikmin.

[–]ineedtosleep 10 points11 points ago

It's called slavery in the west indies.

[–]Legit_GFXNyanyanyana 3 points4 points ago

Ahahaha, that isn't what he meant at all!

[–]Gjpro 52 points53 points ago

Wow, set a kid loose with a magnifying glass and you'd have a rainbow ant explosion

[–]MissDana 13 points14 points ago

I could never get that to work as a kid.

[–]Gjpro 11 points12 points ago

I burnt little holes in leaves.

[–]PirateMud 3 points4 points ago

At my school we went to the next level when it came to "playing in the dirt". We took toy soldiers in. There was an old concrete plinthy thing in the middle of the grass, it was about 6 inches tall, and it had broken down internally a bit so there was a holish-thing going through the middle of it, about 7 inches wide, just broken up concrete in there. That ended up being one of the bases. Anyway I don't know what rules there were to this game, but one guy used a magnifying glass to melt the faces and/or torsos of soldiers he 'captured' (he was sensible enough to only melt his own men). That was cool, if smoky.

How would you know?

[–]SirFloIII 19 points20 points ago

Is this real?

[–]klept0b0y 19 points20 points ago

Here is there original article about it from 2011..

[–]SirFloIII 8 points9 points ago

Wow, thank you.

[–]gobearsandchopin 0 points1 point ago

Woah, thank you

[–]joshjje 1 point2 points ago

This one doesn't seem to be a purposeful mistake.

[–]AKADidymus 1 point2 points ago

That is one of the most repetitive articles I've ever read.

It also repeats itself a few times.

One may call the article redundant.

[–]learn_after_reading 0 points1 point ago

Its Daily Mail, what did you expect.

[–]vuxaHappy trees 7 points8 points ago

WHAT IS THIS?! A pool for ants?

[–]zach84 20 points21 points ago

Stomp them, and create ant art.

[–]LaceyLaPlantePill popper 17 points18 points ago

no save the Ant's [sic]

[–]asciicat 3 points4 points ago

what does sic mean?

[–]Panaetius 14 points15 points ago

"thus", from "sic erat scriptum" = "Thus it was written"

Usually used to indicate that the word or phrase preceding was quoted verbatim, including spelling errors. Similar to how [...] is used to indicate that a passage was left out in a quote.

[–]Kerfulfel 3 points4 points ago

I was going to say it meant "said in context", but then...

On occasion, sic has been misidentified as an acronym "s.i.c." for "spelled in context", "said in copy", "spelling is correct", "spelled incorrectly", and other phrases.

[–]asciicat 0 points1 point ago

Thank you kind poster

[–]rqaa3721 0 points1 point ago

Stop making post's that make fun of the OP's error.

[–]Wisdom4Less 24 points25 points ago

Plural, not possessive.

[–]DigitalChocobo 8 points9 points ago

Redditor's really need to work on there grammar.

[–]benjaminmktn121 10 points11 points ago

That would be a speling problem, and I wasn't making fun of those yet.

[–]rqaa3721 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, these grammatical mistake's need to be put to a stop.

[–]dylanrush -1 points0 points ago

Sorry you're just as wrong as the OP.

Possessive Ant's Colored Water.. Colored water that belongs to an ant. Technically true.

Plural Ants Colored Water.. Doesn't make sense. Should be Ants, Colored Water or Ants and Colored Water.

Plural possessive Ants' colored water. Don't see anything wrong with this

[–]Wisdom4Less 2 points3 points ago

Wrong. You misquoted title.

[–]rqaa3721 0 points1 point ago

Ants drinking colored water.

You forgot the 'drinking'.

If you step on them, they explode and you die.

[–]Lefthandedsock 3 points4 points ago

This is... oddly cute.

[–]jrgzz20 3 points4 points ago

I think what is most whoadude about these pictures is how in the hell the photographer got so many ants to drink at the same time.

[–]rv77ax 3 points4 points ago

Sugar?

Yup that explains it.

Now that I'm aware of that apostrophe I'll never die in peace.

Now I wanna give them Redbull and watch them go real fast. Then I remember they will all just fly away, or at me. NVM!

Those are clearly Altaroth. Kill them and they drop shinies with upgraded items. Usually.

(unless they're insect husks...)

These are Ghost Ants. They live basically everywhere, so if you find a colony you can try this too.
