I just poured myself a glass of sparkling water without seeing the small ant in the cup. Then I see it tumbling in a carbonated jacuzzi that is my cup of sparkling water.

    Someone dropped some gum on the ground through the walkway of my apartments and nobody ever picked it up, and now there are like 6 ant hills surrounding it and the gum is partially unwrapped and half-buried between the hills as they seem to be trying to bring the entire thing down into their tunnels in one piece.

    It seems wrong to clean it up now. Shits stimulating the ant economy. Creating ant jobs.

      I used to deliberately drop syrup between pavement cracks and watch in entertainment as an ant came up, started drinking it, then went back down and then a whole parade of ants would come up to help drink it.
