I present to you...
Ant-ture.
The seal around the lid is air/watertight, the air is flowing better than it was BEFORE I sealed the lid, and the Ants are busy little... Um... Ants. About 85% of them survived the trip here, and they're currently in the process of eating and transferring gel to bury the dead ants with. According to what I've read, this coupled with the air circulation will prevent any sort of disease or issues.
So, I plan to update once a week until all the ants are dead. I will attempt to setup a 24/7 webcam, but I have no idea how well that will work. So we'll see in time.
Thanks for reading the blog, thanks for sticking with the project, and thanks for the donations that made the finished product possible!
Ant-ture will not fall, my friends!
It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteThank you, brave sir, for completing what most men never dream of
alright check it
ReplyDeletewhat if we add
BLACK FOOD COLORING
Nice work!
ReplyDeleteTruly this shall be an Antjectivist paradise.
Do you have a queen in there?
ReplyDeleteNo. No queen.
ReplyDelete1.) Couldn't have a Queen shipped to me.
2.) The population would explode, and they'd probably start killing each other off.
Kickass, Ill be watching to see progress.
ReplyDeleteWhen they die out just message me or something and I'll donate some more money so Ant-ture can begin anew!
ReplyDeleteThe best part is that even if it does fail it will have matched Rapture in success.
ReplyDelete"NO GODS OR QUEENS,
ReplyDeleteONLY ANTS."
^I'd like that on a shirt
ReplyDeletewith a picture of Ant-ture on it.
I think it's actually apropos that there is no queen, due to what agentchieftain said.
ReplyDelete"I plan to update once a week until all the ants are dead."
ReplyDeleteHow many weeks ago did you say that?
Sorry. Ran into some family troubles.
ReplyDeleteAs it stands, the ants aren't fairing too well. They kind of started warring with eachother after the second week, and as of last night, the 6-7 that weren't ripping each other apart were hiding in corners.
Hmm that sounds kinda like a CIVIL WAR! Lol, maybe this will follow the same fate...
ReplyDeleteThat sounds awesome, actually. Aside from the ants being dead, of course, but it makes me think of splicers.
ReplyDeleteWHERE IS THE WEBCAM, EGGMAN. YOU SAID THERE WOULD BE WEBCAM.
ReplyDeleteThe Webcam idea was a bust. The quality was so bad, you couldn't see shit. :(
ReplyDeleteYou guys didn't miss much. I think they're all dead. I can't see the ones that are hiding, and there are body parts EVERYWHERE.
The living conditions are still fine, though. That's kinda sad.
Honestly, I think it has to do with the fact that there was no queen. With no higher authority to follow, worker ants just kind of go berserk.
ReplyDeleteHell of a funny metaphor.
so everything worked out exactly as Rapture did
ReplyDeletebravo sir
