Am I the only one who finds this kind of thing a bit morbid? I get they're "just ants" but that's
literally just throwing molten aluminum on a few million alive things. (Doubtful that they found
a way to evacuate a nest)
I don't know, it just seems kind of shitty to do that then say "It's for education!" When in
reality they guy is just throwing molten metal down a hole, killing shit, and then selling it.

Life is a chain chemicle reaction that has the ability to self adjust around it's environment to
the extent of picking up the color of light, making it a shape, pairing that shape with a
dangerous thing, and avoiding that thing
You're doing it right now and the parts you don't remember are the parts you are just less aware
of
if they only have a few cells then mathmatically they are more asleep than you are so they feel
less
and they bite like motherfuckers this dude probably wanted them out of his back yard, and wanted

That's not the point. I'm not arguing over if they suffered or not, I'm saying it's a completely
unethical way to go about it. And no, I don't think poisoning them is the way to go. The only
time I'm willing to remove pests via any means is when they're actually threatening my house in
one way or another. Aside from that, let them be.
Also, why do you give a shit about what I think about this? Or do you just like to give your
opinion to anyone who might hear it?

I don't see how any of that relates to the ethical problem of exterminating a whole colony for

ethics are the way you have related your own feelings to the feelings of the things around you
feelings are when your body temp is high/low, blood pressure is high/low, and though process is
fast/slow
you apply these feelings to memories, and then something becomes evil or good in your terms
some people cut themselves and jack off because it actually feels good, not bad. They have
assimilated this connection
There are children and adults that would kill any ant regardless, because they were bitten by one
you assimilate with the ants and feel yourself a feeling for them. You choose to.
Some find articulate interest in the structure, and understand the end of the chain reaction in
the ants and how it has ended because of the chain reaction that is you (him whatever)

Sort of. Collectively, ethics intend to affect a culture or large group of people and are meant
to be systemic.
A good distinction is this: Morally speaking, murder is often considered inherently wrong, but
ethically speaking, violence is a tool, and the ethical nature of an event involving violence can
only be correctly assessed with all of the set up present. Self-defense is largely considered
wholly ethical. Cold-blooded violence is often considered completely unethical.
The difference is morals apply so variously that it really can differ person to person on things.
Ethics are things we often consider "laws", though I don't really like that word because ethics,
too, have a nature of subjectivity to them.

I actually rarely use toothpaste. I've had many dentists say that so long as you brush your teeth
with a toothbrush at all and drink a lot of water, your teeth will be fine. Never had a cavity
and brush every day with rarely any toothpaste (Only if I really need a breath treater) and it
works just fine.

Right.

amount of work and stress if it comes
portion and it all becomes portion?

I mean, regular in a sense of on a schedule. I don't usually wash super deeply. I shower every
other day, and that's frequent for me. Only times I shower more often is if I'm particularly in
need of something for b.o. or if my hair is just wildly unpresentable one morning.

They are fire ants and an invasive pest in aus where it was filmed that kill off other native ant
species.
The method used is cleaner than any alternative really as well.
It is morbid when you think though that the lifespan of a fire ant can be around 3 years with
most ants living for at least 1.5 years. That nest would have thousands of ants so the life lost
could be more than 15,000 years I suppose.

This shit is essentially the same as burning cats alive, hunting ants with a magnifier or hitting

The ants were an invasive pest that kill good native ant species.
They have to be killed and poison is often used.
Isn't this method better?
If Aliens deem us to be invasive and a pest intending on killing us I would rather they kill in
an artistically pleasing way also.

My definition of evil must be very different to yours.
Evil for me is an act that benefits nobody not even the person doing it and impedes himself and
all others.
If an act has a minute benefit like; it makes the person happy, they learn from it, it makes them
more successful then that act is ok.
Provided some gain is obtained from an act it is not evil or bad. A good reason for me is a
single ridiculous positive result. There is not much evil in my world. Killing for fun is not
evil. Killing is only evil if nobody benefits from it.
If you are interested though check out this stuff on youtube... there is a giant one in Africa
made with about 10 tons of concrete down an Ant's nest.
