MOAA: Mother Of All Ants?

[IronTomato]

This has some potential in real life, too.

What if they remade cluster bombs to hold millions of bullet ants? Nobody would be safe.

[TD1]

Not even the ants would be safe.

That's actually a very valid idea for biological warfare, because they can't reproduce without a queen. I'd use wasps, though.

nature will find a way

[Eric Blank]

Well, if they're like bees, then despite technically having functional female genetalia, they won't seek mates and all their unfertilized offspring would be male drones, who won't mate with the workers or soldiers and will do nothing for the "colony" besides eat all the food. Then when the workers die of old age or whatever they'll starve to death.

Of course that assumes ant workers or soldiers ever lay eggs. Bullet ant bombs would be fucking terrifying, though.

Or the frog DNA in your hastily bio-engineered weapon ants will cause them to mutate and reproduce and now you've created huge swaths of bullet ant territory.

Hence the MastahCat and Bullet Swarm wars.

Oww, right into genetics. Why, penguinofhonor? Why?!

It happened in that documentary about the amusement park with dinosaurs.

OT: I recently started jogging and a few days later I got an email from my bank, saying: "Do you like running? Check out this amazing offer!". I'm honestly terrified.

Had the same thing: I recently moved to a new neighbourhood and now I'm getting some sort of neighbourhood magazine.

Google is tracking you. And Facebook. And a ton of other commonplace software, likely. Literally, physically tracking you. So it's no wonder.

[Dutchling]

It was a joke. Everyone who lives here get that magazine

[McDonald]

I wasn't joking, though. I don't have Facebook, or haven't even told anybody about my running.
