          A post a few days ago was a bisected picture of a person answering a question about why japanese culture includes photographs of burgers that have been ‘tilted’ or the various layers slid aside to look like a tiered pyramid. At the end of a very ‘reasonable’ sounding explanation of a few paragraphs, the person concluded with something along the lines of, ‘lol, I made it all up, I dunno.’

    So it gets hard when they spit on it? Just like your mom does to my dick.

      The area around the hole is covered in the dirt and saliva of the hundreds who come in and out of the hole every day, eventually producing so much spit and fifth, that it creates a small dirty hill around the edges of the hole.

      Not unlike, I suspect, the contents of your mother’s knickers.

      j/k

    I found that boiling water was the best way to kill the nests that were too close to the house.

      Someone on YouTube (probably banned now) used to flood the nests of invasive ants with molten aluminium turning the tunnels into statues

    I just assumed it was because the ants were breaking it up to dump outside their tunnels (they’re small, makes sense the garbage they take out would be equally small). Seems to have been pretty close, but I never would have thought about ant saliva.

    I’ve never seen ants make a hill in New Zealand. Why don’t our ants build hills? These seem like the same common black ants I see everywhere else.
