It if happens, it happens. I can't prepare for every fucking "what if" situation in the world. What if I get run over tomorrow?

The clear solution here is to release another army of ants and let the two duke it out.
Whichever one wins is allowed to have the living room.
EDIT: I meant my living room, not richisawesome's!
Back in July, I woke up for work at 3am as per usual. Got downstairs, turned the light on - and the entire living room floor was covered in ants. THOUSANDS of them.
What should I have done? Kindly asked them to leave? Left them to it (with a baby upstairs)?
No. I got out a can of Raid, and went to work. Vacuumed every last little bastard up. I found their nest outside, and I absolutely destroyed it.
No mercy.

Lol this just reminded me of this old Malcolm in the Middle clip with Dewey and ants

But then why would Kent take the sign down? Unless he's scared of anty retalliation?
Look for the tiny throne and ornamental paintings.

This would be barbaric if it wasn't against fire ants. Fuck those little shitheads.

Like any wild animal that has the chance?
I hope a fireant crawls into the guys dick when he's sleeping.
I've had enough run in's with fire ants to feel a okay with this.
I'm guessing you don't have a lot of personal experience with fire ants.

absolutly disgusting
you would get fined or even end up in jail when you do this here.
ant colonies are protected (at least here)
Ants are also super important for the environment and should not be harmed, poisoned, burnt or killed by asshole humans.

Guys, hate to break it to you but I wipe out colonies on a weekly basis with ant bait. Sick of them eating my sugar.
Oh wow. I'm trying to comprehend how much this would hurt, and my brain can't keep up.
It's different if they threaten to enter your home or destroy supplies.

Lol can you imagine that? Some alien species throws on hot aluminium over the earth and hangs the planet in his christmas tree.
I'm not asking what you'd do or what you'd think, that's obvious, you'd simply die. Instantly. I'm asking about if there's a difference in the morality of the situation.

Hopefully if more intelligent life discovers us one day, they won't pour such metallics on us. I don't want to be that kind of art.
Right. Fuck morality.
Where can I get some molten aluminium? That's an insane amount of cash.
Its kinda cool, but the tightly packed quarters is making me get trypophobia vibes..

You're worse than Satan!
Are termite colonies equally protected? Is it illegal for pest control people to spray termite colonies? If not, why not?

In the end we all die. Plus I don't believe in applying human (or animal) morality to ants, whom, for all we know, have no awareness and don't feel pain. They might as well be moving trees. That are worth even less because they're far greater in number.

I thought of someone doing that to us and pouring something into earth and some giant aliens having a message board saying " who cares it is earth there are so many more"
Then you'd have a defense force, "but humans have feelings and a right to live too, i don't understand why we have to kill them why can't we just safely move them elseware" "wow there's a defense force for humans now I've seen everything"

That's fascinating; the architecture is beautiful.
As for the morality of it... I kill tons when we get them (it's rare), but I feel that what he did was... kind of mean, I guess. I have no strong feelings for or against the matter, but, personally, I wouldn't want to be the person pouring the aluminum in a what-if scenario. I would feel terrible, even if they are just ants.
It's a bit hypocritical, though. Most ant stuff usually causes the ants to take something back to the colony so they all die, but it feels less personal that way, I guess, than pouring something directly on them at the source.
Morality, you fickle mistress.
