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.

Sure I do, you're the one with the "women want me, ants fear me" Etsy merch store
I bet one billion ants all walking at the same time would make a noise, right? What would that even sound like?
I dunno, but now I'm wondering with that volume if I could start to smell them too. They're a very scent-based creature, right? Lots of pheromones and shit?
Doing some quick napkin math, I think the total amount of human biomass is about one trillion pounds while the total biomass of all ants is about 11 billion pounds, so we're probably ok in a straight fight unless the ants are really clever about climbing into our nostrils and mouths and ears and buttholes

An ant ain't gonna climb into your butthole, sphincters are pretty good about staying closed.

Between the bullet ants, grasscutter ants, army ants, and many other types of ants with potential to do horrible things to humans they're gonna win when all they're aiming for is one person.

An average worker ant weighs between 1 and 5 mg. Its volume is about 10 mm^3 (Im only calculating with averages at the moment). The approximate volume of a human being 0,07 m^3. So you'll need about 7 million ants to fill a human body.
Hmm. So a US billion ants would be 142 humanoid ant mechas.
A billion 10mm³ ants would make a 10m³ death cube. Just over 2 metres tall, wide, and deep and chock full of a squirming mass of ants. Weighing between 1 and 5 tons.
Assuming any of this is accurate.

I mean defeating them would be pretty easy.
I would place a stick, or a leaf in front of them and they’d be fucked four days.

Also I can't believe I misspelled Matthew again, you'd think I would know how to by now. Two T's dammit.

Nice chart to figure out how honest a news source is.
Goddamnit Zeno!
I do enjoy early Van Morrison
Wait I take it back I’ve just reached my final form and it’s not very good.
Mac survived. I'm good, but I'm not as good as MacGuyver.
you saw the episode though right?

I reached my final form but by then I was just really tired and stopped caring about the fight and wanted a nap.
No defecation without representation.
you speak for urethra, i'll speak for myethra
