    True, if both the ants and I are naked and get zero prep time, the ants would probably win. But if I have a few minutes to prepare some buckets of soapy water and tuck my pants into my socks, I think I’d have a decent chance.

      What’s becoming more and more clear is that you truly have no grasp of what 30 million ants en masse truly is. 😅🤮

        All you’ve got to do is maintain a little distance from them, and I can easily outrun an ant. Step on the closest 500, take a step back. Repeat forever.

          Thirty.

          Million.

          The ambulatory physics of that volume is firmly in the fluid dynamics territory, not a mere creepy crawly carpet. 😳
