I was taught that by nerds who criticised ANTZ for being unrealistic.

[–]TryingtoSavetheWorld 85 points86 points ago

What about the part where they're anthropomorphic and speak at least one of your regions native language(s)?

[–]Cat_Party 40 points41 points ago

What about where the one ant was Woody Allen?

[–]Sevsquad 36 points37 points ago

All ants are secretly great Woody Allen impersonators.

[–]Simpsolover 9 points10 points ago

Woody Allen or Dave Foley.

[–]skillian 20 points21 points ago

I saw an ant do Christopher Walken, but everybody does him.

[–]OMPSDE 8 points9 points ago

Woody Allen actually inpersonates ants. The movie was highly realistic.

[–]newtype2099 2 points3 points ago

or Rocky.

[–]Xciv 24 points25 points ago

the criticism arises because there is a difference between perceived truth and accepted fiction.

In ANTZ it is accepted that the anthropomorphism is pure fiction. However, most people are not knowledgeable about the biology of ants, and could easily take the interpersonal sexual relationships of ants as truth when in reality only a select few ants are sexual while the vast majority are not.

Problem is people might perceive the sexuality of worker ants to be true, when everyone knows that the anthropomorphism is clearly not.

[–]Memoriae 16 points17 points ago

[–]RockinTheKevbot 8 points9 points ago

I think the bigger issue here is that we have a society of people who are likely to take anything that they see in an animated children's movie as fact without looking deeper. I do however see your point and raise you one.

[–]JohnnySydewynde 7 points8 points ago

only a select few ants are sexual while the vast majority are not.

Like Redditors, then?

Ba-dum-tish

[–]Herculix 2 points3 points ago

Except, if you anthropomorphize anything, that is, make something take on the traits of a human... anything involving human traits should be accepted including, I don't know, gender roles.

I'm willing to take the cynical route on this one and simply declare people trying to learn ant biology from an animated Disney movie to be on the dull side with no regrets.

[–]Xciv 1 point2 points ago

You're right in that people aren't aiming to learn ant biology from animated movies, but I'm always wary of misinformation in any form of media.

Ant biology doesn't have a profound impact on society, but perceived social truths leak themselves into movies and minds of viewers all the time.

You can say nobody goes into a comedy looking for a commentary on gender roles in America, but it would also be silly to say that nobody gets the wrong messages by watching thoughtless movies like Twilight (that portray very traditional male-female gender roles).

edit: in hindsight I'm clearly overreacting. It's a product of finals week, thinking overly critically of everything haha

[–]zombie_zebra 4 points5 points ago

That part is true.

[–]choopie 1 point2 points ago

That's cute, but verisimilitude is an important part to writing fiction. When you make a piece of fiction, you're building a world with a special set of rules. The audience, as they watch the piece, is also building a set of rules and expectations in their head. If you break one of the rules, the audience is no longer immersed. What if you were watching a crime thriller that was supposed to be set in the real world, and you go through the movie with that understanding, but for some reason a character started levitating and nobody acknowledged it in the movie? It would be weird and no amount of "but this show is fiction" would remedy it.

But what would be angering is if for some reason, a good chunk of the audience believed that maybe levitating is a normal thing for humans to do. I know people who erroneously believe that all worker ants are fertile males because that's what they saw in A Bug's Life, and others who think computer hacking works the way it's depicted in crime thrillers.

[–]Torch_Salesman[!] 1 point2 points ago

But I'm not sure that's a very good analogy, because it's not like the rest of the movie is accurate either. A better way to think about it would be like if you had a crime show where everyone could levitate and shoot lasers out of their eyes and other things that humans can't naturally do, but then you find out that the police force is 100% elderly people and everyone's like "NOW HOLD IT RIGHT THERE. Police forces aren't entirely elderly people. This movie is totally inaccurate."

When you look at how much in those movies is totally unrealistic on purpose, it seems illogical to pull one aspect out and nail them for that. Frankly, if someone's basing their understanding of colony life off of a movie where an ant hang glides, I'm just going to put that on them.

[–]soozling 17 points18 points ago

The first time I watched Disney's Tarzan, I had to wonder whether or not Jane would allow Tarzan to have sex with the other female gorillas. I'd learned earlier that day that gorilla troops tend to be led by one silverback male who was not only in charge of protection but also the insemination part. Needless to say, I didn't tell my parents what I was actually thinking about when we walked out of the movie theatre.

[–]skakruk 1 point2 points ago*

Tarzan's Disney movie is bullshit. They completely ruined the story and characters. The best Tarzan stuff is Tarzan Dark Horse (or Gold Key) Edition, drawn by the great Russ Manning. The women Russ Manning drew are so perect you could easily masturbate to them, I was always admired by Tarzan's will power, by turning down the sex offered by La in The Jewels of Opar, or Aphrodite, in The Land that Time forgot. Ahh I loved Tarzan comics.

EDIT: Example!

[–]CubeGuy365 10 points11 points ago

I had more of a problem with the male cow in Barnyard.

[–]Aden_Sickle 1 point2 points ago

Agreed. Bulls (male cows) do not have udders. Also, I've meet a lot of people who think only bulls have horns and cows do not, and that really annoys me.

[–]UndeadMantis 22 points23 points ago

Obviously he's targeting the drones. With all the drones removed, the ants will be unable to fertilize new queens! Slowly and painfully killing them!

Not the smartest plan, but it is cruel indeed.

[–]CitizenPremier 9 points10 points ago

The queens can store sperm for a really long time though

[–]UndeadMantis 4 points5 points ago

Right, but what I'm saying is that without drones, no new sexually viable queens can be created. Following this line of thought, no new colonies can be created.

[–]CitizenPremier 1 point2 points ago

[–]Zoood 2 points3 points ago

Ant Sex:

The males are built for the only purpose of inseminating the queen, and can't even feed themselves for the few days of their lives. During "the quick and violent mating, the male literally explodes his internal genitalia into the genital chamber of the queen and quickly dies."

LIVE NUDE, GIRL ANTS

[–]CitizenPremier 4 points5 points ago

Well if all the drones go there, then he'll have no ants within... like 2 years?

[–]weebro55 1 point2 points ago

More like seven or eight. Queens mate once (usually with multiple males) and store the sperm for the rest their life. I believe the life span of captive queens with proper care can range from about five years to twenty one years depending on the species cared for.

[–]HumanoidCarbonUnit 1 point2 points ago

I could be confusing ants with bees but I believe if the queen can't mate she produces drones (which only have one of her chromosomes). Or something like that, the drones were not main point of what we were talking about in the class.

[–]weebro55 1 point2 points ago

You are partially correct about the chromosomes. It is a fascinating sex determination system that is believed to one of the reasons bees, ants, and wasps have developed colonies. These males have no father and can never have sons, but do have grandfathers and may have grandsons. The young queen does mate with these fatherless males to produce all of her future daughters, both workers and new queens. However, when she wishes to produce a male, she will lay an unfertilized egg. If a queen doesn't mate, she will not be able to produce workers and will likely die of starvation.

[–]omelettegod 3 points4 points ago

Yeah and ants tend to not wear clothes either so all ants are nude anyway....

[–]Spingar 1 point2 points ago

So he should move the sign backwards a bit so that the flying male ones have a place to land, making the top of the "establishment" sort of a helipad, and maybe a staircase from the roof to the bar floor?

[–]juicius 1 point2 points ago

And aside from spawning time, the queen is the "girl" in the colony so...

if you leave corn meal by their hole, they'll take it but they can't digest it and they'll die. Non-toxic way to help.

Leave double sided sticky tape surrounding a piece of corn meal. Then you get to watch them squirm as they wasted their life trying to get to something that would have killed them anyway. Also they'll die all in one place. Faster to clean up.

[–]SeaweedWater 13 points14 points ago

[–]Johnzsmith 35 points36 points ago

For the people that will end up asking, its the boric acid that will kill them. The sugar is only there to attract them to it.

[–]lordeddardstark 63 points64 points ago

Then why waste perfectly good sugar? Why not just use boric acid then put up a sign that says "Free Sugar"

[–]RandomZombie 3 points4 points ago

[–]lemongrove 5 points6 points ago

Yes!! Those ant traps usually only kill those who mosy into them. The borax and sugar tricks them into thinking it's a lovely treat to bring back to the queen. This kills the colony.

[–]i_am_sad 2 points3 points ago

This kills the crab.

I killed a queen ant the other day, true story.

[–]JlyGrnGiant 6 points7 points ago

Isn't that basically what Borax is?

[–]SeaweedWater 4 points5 points ago

yes. you can totally use borax as well.

[–]smartalien99 11 points12 points ago

Borax and honey mixed into a paste is the best ant killer ever. Put a couple packets of that next to an ant trail, never see ants inside again after a few days. They take it back to their hive, feed it to everyone, then it ends up killing the whole hive shortly after. Also its much safer around pets than normal ant traps you buy and more effective in my experience.

[–]smartalien99 8 points9 points ago

Also windex sprayed on the ants will kill them all instantly. Good for killing large batches of them.

[–]Torus2112[!] 10 points11 points ago

I kill wasps by shooting them out of the air with something greasy like Pam and finish them with Windex, it's barely even fair.

[–]Theoz 4 points5 points ago

Seriously? The pam is greasy enough to bring them down? I might have to try this.

[–]chimpparts 8 points9 points ago

[–]hesitater 5 points6 points ago

Man, it sounds really cruel but still I love that idea. Every year we have to deal with ants and I have to say it's never a win for us. They keep coming back every spring and seem to be cockier than the last year. But now..with your recipe I will defeat them.

[–]edknator 2 points3 points ago

You can also exterminate Charlie Sheen using this method.

[–]PrometheusANJ 11 points12 points ago

A more humane (humant?) way of dealing with them is to destroy the food-this-way smell tracks that they create indoors, and create a stronger one outdoors near their nest by putting some small sweet thing there. It takes a few hours for them to redirect though.

I used to kill ants in droves as a kid... but now when I sit at the computer and a random ant crawls onto my hand, I study it and get that fuzzy feeling of physical closeness to another living being. The scale and function of the creature is amazing. Taking little breaks, cleaning its limbs, continuing on foraging, laying down pathfinding tracks, checking my fingernails, trying to stretch its body over huge ravines created by the gaps between my fingers...

[–]deeptime 3 points4 points ago

This is what you want, my friend. Warning: toxic.

http://www.terro.com/products.php?product=liquid_ant_bait

[–]larry_underwood 1 point2 points ago

Actually Terro isn't really that toxic unless you're an ant. It's mostly made of borax and I actually recommend it a lot not only because it is effective, but also because it's safe.

[–]Eudaimonics 2 points3 points ago*

Protip: Line your cupboards/shelves with fabric softener sheets. The chemicals in them messes with the ants' ability to communicate with each other and sense of direction, and they're safe for humans...unless you eat them or something.

Ha, cute little distraction, but better then those bastard deserve. They'd swarm your family and eat the ham off the christmas table if they got half a chance.

They're ruthless, they will never give in, and they seem unending. But damnit you better believe me, they will run out of soldiers before we're done vacuuming up the first wave. To fight such a ruthless enemy you must adopt ruthless tactics.

I carry out full fledged chemical warfare on every front against those tiny bastards. I poison them and they carry them back to their families, because we fight a true enemy boys, don't you forget it.

I too am at war with several species of ants. They fight me and fight one another. They only ally themselves against the house centipedes.

Perhaps we could exchange battle strategies. This is my secret weapon. They love it.

The problem is that I have birds who roam free in the apartment so I cannot put out any open poison traps in areas where they are active. I use plastic juice/water bottles full of the stuff in corners where the birds don't fit.

There's still the concern that they may eat a poisoned ant, but I haven't seen them eat a bug yet.

Ah, a brother-in-arms! It seems like your war with the foul insects is going poorly that you must keep slaves and whore them out.

I suggest you to ziplock and container everything to starve them out into reaching for the sweet, yet deadly treat. Its the least we can do for the doomed enemies. It makes their end that much sweeter.

Every year I completely forget how much I don't particularly care for this time of year. My house is always bug free until April and May. =\

In June we get the June bugs everywhere, but those don't get in the house very often. You just have to dodge them while you run inside.

I miss the winter already.

Playing dirty is what got you in this position in the first place.... totally worth it

I battled the front lines against ants... here's my best solution:

Buy a jar of honey and a bottle of Boric acid (white powder). Mix in a bowl 9 parts honey to 1 part Boric acid powder. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and with a fork, punch holes in the plastic wrap. The ants will take the honey / boric acid mix back to the nest and accidentally kill the queen. The nest will be gone in about two weeks. Do NOT use this solution if you have pets!

My dad used to always take me out to fight the war on ants. We had just dozens of nests in our back yard every summer, nasty fire ants too. He would always say fight fire with fire and we'd go out with his propane torch and a can of gasoline and burn the fuckers. I love my dad

No such thing as playing dirty when it comes to love......and war!

Reminded me of this.

There's only one way to win a war like this. You must learn the language of the ants and mate with their women. In time, your differences will be forgotten

I tried something like this once... I put a trail of sugar leading into a cup of a bleach-sugar mixture.

Bad idea. The mixture started to get hot and release something like chlorine gas.

They deserve all of it. Too many picnics ruined by cartoonish thievery!

My solution to ants is to just put a big dish of sugar water/jam/caramel down somewhere hidden and near the ants entrance to my house and let them get on with it. They tend to not bother trapsing everywhere then.

My Struggle is with large carpenter ants. I have been working very hard behind the scenes at my house to come up with a Final Solution to the "Ant Problem."

There is no limit on the amount of force or cohersion we are willing to use in order to rid our home and land of these dirty, filthy creatures. They are too many, to invasive and must be rid of at any cost.

I fully embrace my embrace my role as Fuhr-migator. Zeig Raid! Zeig Raid!

So you think most ants are lesbians?

[–]bleepsystems 0 points1 point ago

Do you know the best way to get rid of ants. Leave polenta out for them. They then take all polenta away with them and they die. Not sure of the scientific reason but it works deffo works on Australian ants.

Ants have rights! You bunch of cave people discriminating against ants and their religious beliefs. But really, whats up with the lesbain bar?
