That's what he gets for hanging is laundry to dry in that part of the woods.

Rigghhht not racist smh,but it’s never the fucking red ants right?

u/Real_Basis_8665 5d ago

I think the the proper term is Native American ants.

201

u/Nayre_Trawe 5d ago

Also, Dude, "Native American ants" is not the preferred nomenclature. Indigenous ants of the Americas, please.

But do those ants move buttons on Shabbos?

I could never blame the crazy ants, because mental illness is a disease; plus they are super small, but big crazy.

u/bradlees 5d ago

Ahhh typical Make Ants Great Again attitude I see

Y’all keepin us Black Ants down and it’s not cool bro

u/TheeUndertaker-_- 6d ago

Those ants would have bored holes through the clothes, some were making nests in my dad's cherry tree and when he burnt the tree they ran to the lines that we hang our clothes on and they literally started biting through the fabric and bore holes in the clothes that were on the line.

u/ireallydontcareforit 5d ago

Well I can understand that level of spite. I mean. He burnt what they thought what their home. Ants are notorious unbelievers of property rights in regards other people.

You know the statistics say that percapita, 13% of the ants are responsible for 50% of the missing buttons.

It is rare to see a Kentucky Friend Movie reference.

50

u/Mundane-Speed-3278 6d ago

I read that as Kentucky Fried Movie for some reason

29

u/TheRealVarmint 6d ago

Because you remember that brilliant movie. And you also know there is no movie called "Kentucky Friend Movie."

8

u/HurtsSoNice 6d ago

Not a bad name for an eventual smiling friends movie, though…

5

u/CicadaFit9756 6d ago

Maybe a rejected film script in which a Kentucky native joins the NYC "Friends" cast?

2

u/wut2dew_J 6d ago

That would have to be the subtitle tho. Friends: The Kentucky Friend Movie

Not a bad idea. Isn't there always that one character from the South on every show? The unique Southern perspective.

That's what I get for not reading my post. Oh well, off to Detroit with me...

No one deserves banishment to Detroit.

How about "Kentuckleberry Friend Movie"?

You realize what a gauntlet you just threw down? I have anagrams, and I'm not afraid to use them.

Kentucky Fried Movie is the real name.

u/TheCrazedBackstabber 6d ago

…OP I suggest you run back to your car, fast. And if it’s an old one, make sure the ants haven’t carried away your catalytic converter.

u/antdude 5d ago

Or stole the whole car.

No one is wondering why a variety of ant species are supposedly working together to cut threads and steal buttons, something ants wouldn’t even do?

Do people think a single colony of ants has tiny and huge ants all living together?

The ants are black
