Imagine being an square head ant "What's my job?" "Bunker door"
-
"Sir we're under attack, what do we do?" "I don't know Jefferson, put that big head of yours to use" "... you genius"
-
People: “Humans are so violent, you don’t see warfare and genocide in nature 😔” Ants: “IT IS BETTER TO DIE FOR THE QUEEN THAN LIVE FOR YOURSELF”
-
“When army ants discover another ants colony, they immediately attack” Sounds like europe in 17-18th century
-
WW14: “Sir, there’s another raid!” “How big is the frontline?” “1 meter, sir” “Evacuate the colony. Now!”
-
"So, what's your job?" "When an invading army arrives I plonk my big head into the doorway so they can't get in." "..."
-
I once actually witnessed a red ant colony raiding a black ant colony. The black ants were a lot smaller and completely defenceless. They didn't even try to fight, just quickly evacuating and escaping with their brood. It was terrifying but really cool to watch. I just felt bad for the small ants. :')

“The other ant will always be the enemy” Aside from separate army ant swarms ignoring each other, there are a few ant species with dynamics that go beyond enemies. One particularly chilling example is a species of ant that practices the enslavement of other species.

Army ants: Attacks Square head ants: Yeah, this is big brain time
-
Square head ant: "So, how are we supposed to defend against other ants?" Other square head ant: "Idfk. Use your head for once, Garry."
-
"What is my purpose" "Block the hole with your head" "Oh my god"
-
6:58 humans have decided not to do war anymore Putin: hold my beer
-
"What is your job?" I use my face to close holes from enemies
-
"ants, like humans, are useless individually" cries
-
It's so interesting how an animal like the ant is individually entirely unimpressive. Both in terms of physical capabilities and intelligence they are not special or are even inferior to so many other animals. But then as a group they stand out so much in that they are the closest to humans in terms of organization. Offensive and defensive war tactics, agriculture, building large structures to live in, etc. Despite being so far away from us biologically, they are the only animals that share those things with us. Close relatives like Bees are similar of course.

her: so what's your favorite food? Nomamyrmex Esenbeckii: the spawn of my enemies

Humans: WW2 is the deadliest war in the History Ants: Hold my larvae

In the grimdarkness of the ant colony, there is only war.
