TBF literally nothing could spoil GoT more than it's actual ending.

I haven't seen a horrific derailment like that since True Blood season 3.

I'm so spiteful towards GRRM for not finishing the book series that I'm kind of happy his legacy will be that tv show.

Spider's only got themself to task with all the jobs. Queenie just squirts out furnishings at whim.

Slight trypophobia vibes

For ants, it probably doesn't get more special and important (other than being queen).

Bonus! Sometimes, he's also ajar.

Alternative spin: you are the guardian of the hive, only you have been given the genetic power from the queen to protect us when our enemies are at the door, we all rely on you. Also I don't think ants can build doors!

I'm pretty sure they sometimes send a sacrificial ant or two out at night to seal up an entrance from the outside.

The ant: I am the apex of a line of ancestors that gave me both a purpose and the ability to fulfill it. I could not ask for a more perfect existence.

Better as door, than as bottle

riskable@programming.dev · 5 pts · 17d

I dunno. I think this ant is head and shoulders above the rest.

Zephyr@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 17d

So literally Hodor irl?

FatherPeanut@pawb.social · 3 pts · 16d

Ain't this basically just a bouncer to a bar?

affenlehrer@feddit.org · 3 pts · 17d

Maybe it makes the ant super happy? Some lifeforms might enjoy their jobs, even though it's a difficult thought for me as a corporate underling.

Reminds me of Elfquest

Arguably, you are also the gatekeeper
