You vs 1 billion ants

DarkPrimusDarkPrimus Registered User regular
You versus one billion ants. Who walks away?

What kind of ants are they?
Great question. There are 12,000 species of ants so let's assume that we divide that distribution evenly, giving each species of ant 83334 (rounding up) participants.

What kind of prep time do I have?
What do you mean prep time? You aren't fuckin' Batman, you didn't anticipate this happening today

What so I can't just go to the hardware store and buy the shelf full of RAID?
If you think that's your only path to victory you're welcome to attempt it, but you're going to have to get through one billion ants in order to reach transportation to your local Menards or whatever.

What if I go for their queens? That seems like an easy route to victory.
Ants perform tasks en masse outside the colony while the queen stays safely secluded all the goddamn time. And it's not like ants are robots. They don't just stop and shut down if you kill the queen. If anything that's just gonna drive them into even more of a frenzy.

Aren't ants extremely territorial? Wouldn't each colony be as likely to turn against each other as attack me?
If that were the case it wouldn't be you versus 1 billion ants, now would it. They are united in their goal of your utter annihilation.

    I know many ways in which I could triumph over a billion of even the most vicious ants, but in the spirit of 'insects are good, actually'

    i'm gonna lie down and let the ants take me. For the planet's sake.

    I think at most everyone would get thru maybe 10k ants at most before the swarm goes locust style on you.

    If a billion different ants decided to unite and that I needed to die, then I guess I must deserve it

    remember that you can out pace the billion ant truck x a lot

    Yeah if I could like get a way to take out small chunks of the 1 billion, like 10 thousand ants at a time, but without being crushed to death by just like 10 million of them, yeah...it’d take me a while, I guess...but I’d have to do this enough times that the chances of them getting me at least once are pretty high

    But if all I have to do is evade them indefinitely?

    I honestly still don’t trust myself, never been able to evade ants completely my whole life

    My initial response was, with the element of surprise, the ants would surely defeat me

    But I'm tired of having low self-confidence by god, so I say I think I could maneuver my way around the ants and reach a car, in which case I can quickly acquire aid from an exterminator or perhaps my local flamethrower-owner to put these ants down

    Have confidence everyone!!

    You
    If the ants are different species divided evenly, they can't all work together as every species uses different pheromones for communication. You're essentially fighting a bunch of much smaller swarms of uncoordinated ants. Some of the swarms will even be fighting each other.

    No contest.

    the 1 billion ants form another car out of themselves, except it's bigger and it runs you over and crushes you in your car. You're dead.

    The ants scare me way less than whoever got eighty three thousand different species of ants to all fight me at once
