I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords.

The ant apocalypse doesn't sound all that bad to be fair. Lets give them a chance

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Better than letting Republicans take over. I mean, at least the ants want to read books

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Yeah, but will that break the history of monarchy for the ants, or will we get a large group of intelligent ants being directed by a hyper-intelligent queen?

And how will they feel about Xander Crews?

I'm up for it. Good chance they will do better than we are. Learn from our mistakes and all that. Yeah. Ant power! ✊

The bottom trxt should definitely be"Help avert the antpocalypse."

Right?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

But if they learn how to read, then they also will not eat in the library.

[–] Dasnap@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

You want ants? Because this is how you get ants.

I legitimately think it would be rad as fuck if ants advanced to the same technological level as humans. But tiny. Imagine little ant-sized nukes. Adorable.

[–] whenigrowup356@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Don't threaten me with a good time.

[–] burgersc12@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago

oh fuck, here we go again ant king hxh

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hasn't that happened already?

[–] youCanCallMeDragon@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Oh yeah, it’s an ants world and we’re just living in it. We’re lucky they’re too busy fighting each other to be concerned with us.

[–] Infernal_pizza@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

This is how they came up with the plot for quantumania

[–] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

The biggest flaw here is that ants already control the world.

[–] 3arn0wl@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Another failed author turned librarian? :/

[–] Chariotwheel@kbin.social 16 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

What's your issue. It's a little chuckle so people pay attention to the sign.

God forbid a librarian can love their job and enjoy doing a small joke.

[–] emeralddawn45@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago

But wouldn't the reason it's bad for ants to read also apply to anyone else? So this is subtly implying that reading turns kids evil, not a great message for a librarian to spread... /s sorta

[–] 3arn0wl@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It struck me as crap, frankly. "Please don't eat in the library" is enough.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Were you the "Teacher, you forgot about our homework" kid too?

[–] 3arn0wl@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

If homework is set with the expectation that it is to be done, then the counter-expectation is that it's marked promptly and returned.

However, "You Must, You Could, and You Might Enjoy" might also be made use of.

[–] VaultBoyNewVegas@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lol, you were that kid. Everyone else hated you 😂😂

[–] 3arn0wl@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No idea why you'd come to that conclusion.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No idea really? Lmao, dude you're a grade A brown noser with 0 sense of humor, you need to have more fun with life

[–] 3arn0wl@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And you appear to be fairly rude to someone you don't know.
