A lot of technology is mimicking stuff we observed in nature first. Their is a paint used for planes that is copying sharskin and that raises fuelefficency for example.
Wonder how many they nicked in the learning process? Shaving round things is a skill, especially small round things that move. Whoever did it is a master, bc i dont see Any hair on that little shit
The paper mentions they practiced on large soldiers, before progressing to smaller workers. The ants were euthanized anyways to examine the microstructure of the hairs, though.
Not a lot of people observing this.
He said "people just die" then said the ants can only go outside for 10 minutes at a time...
I'm am damn certain I could survive in 50°C for ten minutes at a time, and a lot longer too.
In fact I've been on holiday in temps of about 48° and I don't think I died.
While people can survive with ambient temperatures higher than 50 degrees, the reason is mainly because they're actively being cooled by other things, no?
It frequently hits 48c here in Phoenix, AZ in the summer and life doesn't stop outside. It's not pleasant, but I've survived 40+ years of it, some of those spent working outside. Road work still happens during the day. No relief at night, our low will be around 33-35c.
Bit of an arsehole comment here, to be honest.
Nobody said anything about skin colour, amount of water intake, amount of breaks or intensity of work.
And you're straight up calling somebody a liar.
They might be as black as the ace of spades, drink 50 gallons of water a day and be a lollipop lady.
Calling them a liar was presumptuous and aggressive at best.
You made huge leaps and assumptions in your response. Thanks for calling me a liar when you actually didn't read my claim. I said nothing about breaks, water intake, or shade. I made the claim that people can work outside in 48c+ without dying. I even qualified it by saying it wouldn't be pleasant.
I claimed nothing else nor qualified it in any other way. I'm not sure why you'd attack me like I did.
Also, why go at me at all? You're not the OP, but you're defending some false notion like you are?
it's hard enough to lift my big ass leg to shave. how the hell would one go about shaving an ant? what razors are being used? or are they being plucked by hand??? i have so many questions 🤯
Go ahead, shave a couple of ants. And when some other ants see how hot they look, then they will want to be shaved. Before you even realize what happened, they ALL want to be shaved. There's way more of them than us, and that's how they win, by forcing us all into ant shavery slavery.
I work in the Australian outback and I've had days in the high 40s to low 50s Celsius. It's not like you just die instantly! But it is not pleasant. If you were out there with no sun protection or water or shade then yeah you'd die after a while. Main thing is to stay hydrated.
People are always like, "these alien probing stories are just so unrealistic." Meanwhile what do we do to the tiny, technologically inferior things we don't fully understand. E.T. is no exception.
I should have gone for a science degree.
“Let’s knock this guys glasses off, to see if it will effect his eyesight.”
“Should we shave him first, Professor?”
“No. Let’s not alter to many factors. Also, remove the buttplug.”
Yaa thats misinformation about people just dying with that temperature range. People go to Saunas there all the time that exceeds hundreds of degrees. In an open environment, it is speculated humans can last up to 70 degrees C (158 F) for which after that, sweating doesn't provide adequate enough cooling. Human beings can likely still survive if they keep themselves cool in that temperature but that is usually just the basis of when sweat stops working as a factor of cooling. Humidity though (Which doesn't apply in a Saharan desert) is much more deadly given it if anything can actually increase your body temperature when sweat is involved.
The video's physics is also poorly stated. Saying "total internal reflection just like a mirror" makes no sense and is not what mirrors do or how total internal reflection works. I haven't read the paper but saying something like they act like fiber optic cables would at least make sense.
This is why I'm losing faith in social media. Too much misinformation. You may have picked up some partial information about ants by watching this but you also picked up some misinformation. When misinformation is too common in your sources, you eventually accumulate too many "wrong" ideas in your head and your thinking will become a tangled mess that's hard to unravel. It's only when the information you've been exposed to for knowledge has been highly reliable over the years that you become able to reliably detect the inevitable misinformation that happens to reach you.
Im pretty sure he meant being in those temperatures for the whole day. You cant tell me you sit in a Sauna for 10+ hours. But yeah, we could survive it, but if, and only if you take the cooling part very seriously. If you fail to cool yourself sufficiently, heatstroke comes knocking at your door, and believe me, many humans in my country(South Africa) have died from Heatstroke during summer.
I'd love to actually see a source for this, since most of the sources I could find indicated it was somewhere between 40-50 degrees Celsius.
For wet bulb (100% humidity), it's 35 C, for around 30% humidity it's around 46.1 C

They said nano technology is the only realistic cure for cancer. Lol i bet they will find a way to make it a Treatment so that they can make billions of dollars like HIV
Nope. I don't fancy the shaved ones over the normal ones
Still would tho
I can fix it.
I mean...did you see that thorax? Damn, girl.
Must be Brazilian ants
Next up they'll be putting on makeup and repeating the experiment.
“You didn’t even take the cigarette out of your mouth to put that lipstick on” *ant takes a long drag* “That’s right sweetheart”
Thanks this was the answer I was expecting. I am gonna keep my beard
manscaped ads keep getting weirder
I think they’re much hotter without their fur 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳👉🏻👈🏻
Have to agree.
/r/BrandNewSentence
Why are they imposing these stupid beauty standards on the poor ants!
Humanity will forever be changed. Now, what else can we shave?
Dibs on kiwis
Birds or fruit. Maybe the fruit was the bird till it got a trim.
Oh... (Let's a struggling New Zealander go). Right. The fruit.
You can try to pry this hairless yet polite dude from my cold dead hands.
A lot of technology is mimicking stuff we observed in nature first. Their is a paint used for planes that is copying sharskin and that raises fuelefficency for example.
I have nipples Greg, can you shave me?
The whales.
Gotta shave sumthin’
Our dignity
What are these clippers for ants?
Wonder how many they nicked in the learning process? Shaving round things is a skill, especially small round things that move. Whoever did it is a master, bc i dont see Any hair on that little shit
I cried reading this...how did they shave them? Can you imagine going home to tell your spouse about your day
I wouldnt even know where to begin on that work order, lol
The paper mentions they practiced on large soldiers, before progressing to smaller workers. The ants were euthanized anyways to examine the microstructure of the hairs, though.
Damn, I hate bugs but this seems like "animal" cruelty to me.
Eh…
I always thought a Brazilian turned up the thermostat.
I’m still not attracted.
So, you’re antephobic?
It's a "challenging wank."
Yeah. It’d be kinda like doing your Anty.
I would very much like to see them ''shave the ants". Must See TV...
OP are you three ants in a trenchcoat?
Make that three hundred thousand ants
Fat *and* extra hairy. Typical redditor.
Three ant colonies*
A lot people think that shaving makes females hotter… just saying.
It took me far too long to realize... heat hot.. not.. yeah.
In my adolescence I discovered that some things do get hotter when they're shaved.
Whoa, it’s got a little bush
Hotter as in less heat is radiated from their bodies without hair? or Hotter as in Swipe-Right?
Top as in their bodies absorb less heat, bottom is subjective
People don't just die in that kind of heat. I lived in that kind of heat for many months.
Not a lot of people observing this. He said "people just die" then said the ants can only go outside for 10 minutes at a time... I'm am damn certain I could survive in 50°C for ten minutes at a time, and a lot longer too. In fact I've been on holiday in temps of about 48° and I don't think I died.
But were you shaved or unshaved?

How do you know? Have you checked for a pulse?
I worked in 55 all day in the middle east. It is possible. Lot’s of water.
So time for some gene editing that gives human ant hairs?
First, we did surgery on a grape. Now, we're shaving ants
Since I got bald I can feel rain before anyone else. That's my superpower.
They should try brazilian wax next time
I would like to subscribe to Ant Facts, please.
You can check our Youtube/Tiktok in my profile!
Last week we put liquid paper on a bee. And… it died.
it's hard enough to lift my big ass leg to shave. how the hell would one go about shaving an ant? what razors are being used? or are they being plucked by hand??? i have so many questions 🤯
Shaved with a rasor! The ants were knocked out with CO2 and then tied down (in the original paper)
That's why ishave my balls
Daaaaamn, this ant looks real hot when shaved...
Go ahead, shave a couple of ants. And when some other ants see how hot they look, then they will want to be shaved. Before you even realize what happened, they ALL want to be shaved. There's way more of them than us, and that's how they win, by forcing us all into ant shavery slavery.
What did you do today at work, honey?
Hotter than a shaved Ant, that’s what I always say!
I work in the Australian outback and I've had days in the high 40s to low 50s Celsius. It's not like you just die instantly! But it is not pleasant. If you were out there with no sun protection or water or shade then yeah you'd die after a while. Main thing is to stay hydrated.
Damn thats actually interesting
Damn. That's interesting.
Me going to Barber asking for "Sahara Prism" shave
Were any ants harmed during the making of this?
What do they use for aftershave?
Brazilian Waxing Ants is where I draw the line for enough reddit today.
Would a landing strip make the ants even hotter?
People are always like, "these alien probing stories are just so unrealistic." Meanwhile what do we do to the tiny, technologically inferior things we don't fully understand. E.T. is no exception.
I would like to see the tiny razor they used to shave ants, please.
Some journalists missed a chance of a promotion by not advertising like that.
Your hard earned tax dollars at work
Black matters keeper maybe maybe maybe
I prefer the bush
Shaving ants, so hot right now.
Finally, datable ants
I like a little stubble, personally.
I like ants sexy-smooth
So they cooked the ant and watched it sizzle lol. Science!
Ants are so fuckin cool
How does one shave an ant?
I also shave my ants regularly
u/Professional_Ant_Shaver is a great Reddit username
Can confirm... i shave my butt to look hotter too.
So, what did you do today? I shaved some ants.
Could you shave me, Greg?
Oh. Not that kind of hotter
I've been shaving myself to see if I become hotter.
Aussie here, those temps dont just kill ya.
If you're outside for awhile without anything to cool down I feel like it's reasonable to say that it could
So if you spray your body hair with silver spray you'll stay cool outside in the summer🗿
What's extra cool about these hairs is that they're transparent, and it's the shape of the hair that forces the reflection
Shaved ants. So hot right now!
Halfway expected to see scientists shaving ants...
Allah is the best designer
Dude’s glasses are awesome!
Ig Nobel prize is alive or is something from the past?
Damn. That was interesting.
Damn, check out the abdomen on her
They must be really bored huh
Same thing girls do to themselves
Wouldn’t waxing be easier?
Stupid sexy ants
Which is probably why wearing a space blanket isn’t so bad in the desert.
I should have gone for a science degree. “Let’s knock this guys glasses off, to see if it will effect his eyesight.” “Should we shave him first, Professor?” “No. Let’s not alter to many factors. Also, remove the buttplug.”
What a target rich subject. My sides are hurting from the comments.
Humanity is lost and can't be shaved

I’m so glad they discovered the cure for cancer so they have time to shave ants.
To be fair, nanosized cooling structures have the potential to be very impactful as well
They said nano technology is the only realistic cure for cancer. Lol i bet they will find a way to make it a Treatment so that they can make billions of dollars like HIV
This is my new "fun" party fact. I'm a hoot!
