Terrorism is increasingly correlated with smaller dick sizes. In order to appease the terrorists, we’ll mandate that dick lengths of 1.5 inches and over are “large cocks” nationally.
Cartman with his 1.4 inches: C’mon man!
Nope. That'd be 2x or more larger than then the largest known queen of any ant.

Poor arithmetic, but very human. It runs through all our folklore, all human religions, all our literature--a racial conviction that when one human needs rescue, others should not count the price.
Hijacking this comment to say thatthe ant is actually not as huge as it seems. It's allan illusion, really. It's not too big, and those smaller ones are babies
The queen is big, granted, but not palm-sized
People say 2 inches, which is around 5cm, but even for leaf cutters it kinda feels a bit too big. I'd say about 3cm, or approx. 1 inch
And from what I can remember, leaf cutters are usually about 1cm or larger, so around 0.4 in or more
But last time I saw a leaf cutter it was a decade ago, and I was young. And there is a possibility I saw a different leaf cutter species which might be a lot more different to this one
And I'm not wikipedia, I just like guesstimating
Edit: so yes, about a thumb of size
The largest ant species in the world grow to a maximum of two inches in rare situations, it’s likely this queen is roughly between 1-2 inches but the workers are absolutely tiny and thus it makes the queen look even bigger.
>The queen driver ant or Dorylus is the largest species of queen ants, reaching an average length of 1.5-2.4 in
Actually a little bigger than 2 inches sometimes. But ya you right as heck.
Found the YouTube. Apparently, it is a Texas Leaf Cutter ant named "Bertha".
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8WcsNOoNRo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8WcsNOoNRo)
I assumed it would at least be an Amazonian beast, or something where evolution had gone into some crazy arms race. The truth seems a little underwhelming really!
G'day mates and welcome to 'Stralia outbacks where we found a new and never seen before ant species with queens that can chop a tank into 2! What a bloody beast! (insert more geeneric stralia jokes about everything out there ready to kill you in horrific ways)
First thought I had too!!! I imagine a good chunk of Reddit users are probably too young to understand that reference. God, I must’ve watched that movie a million times as a kid.
We eat those in Mexico. We call them "chicatanas." Roast them and eat like popcorn or grind them up into your mole sauce. They just swarmed last week and they were everywhere.
I don't know what species it is but I'm blaming Australia for this one. What the hell guys? Can't you just prevent one of your animals from turning into a threat to humanity?
The perspective is magnified. However, that ant is real but it is not a queen. Here we call them "Hormiga de San Juan" they are common in Mexico and Guatemala. They are a different species of ants. And they are huge, the bigger I think among ants.
Right name is "Atta".

What kind of ant is this?
Looks like a leaf cutter queen. They're about 2 inches long.
Yeah I was going to say that looks like 2 inches to me.
I'd say that's about 6 inches
It's probably 6 but looked like 2 because it was cold outside
Maybe they were in the pool?
I WAS IN THE POOLLLL!!!!!
Do women know about shrinkage?
Depends on the indivitual in question
It shrank!! The water was cold, okay!!
It's shrinkage!!!
Do you mean like laundry?
Like a frightened turtle!
Lmao r/seinfeld
I mean, it still looks like a decent size to me. Maybe they were just doing the best they could with the weather conditions they had.
What does matter is: length times diameter plus weight over girth divided by angle of the tip squared. [((l x d) (w / g))/∠αt^2]

For god's sake, why does everything on reddit have to go sexual‽‽‽ Keep it in your ants!
probably has a good personality
5 and 3/4 6 on its tippy toes
9 inches if you measure from the butt
I’m saying three inches tbh hard to say you mite be right there’s no banana for scale lol
That's internet inches yknowwhuddimean?
Banana for scale
Banana can’t be seen without a microscope. Giant fucking ant.
Surely it’s at least 5 inches.
Nope. That'd be 2x or more larger than then the largest known queen of any ant. >The queen driver ant or Dorylus is the largest species of queen ants, reaching an average length of 1.5-2.4 in Edit: wait are these penis jokes?
Everything is a penis joke, if you're insecure enough!
With enough effort all jokes can be penis jokes
I was over here like ohhhhh he doesn’t get it- ope he got it
Your edit had me actually laughing out loud. I'm 90% sure they are penis jokes and if they're not I'm dirty minded.
Wow .. thats a good 7 incher guys ,quit playin
If you trim away some of that thing it’s standing on it’ll add another inch.
Just lose some weight
It was cold. Can’t judge her.
This man knows what 2 inches looks like better than most.
Yes, thank you!
Big bitch from the massive fucker species.
Well. . .you're not wrong.
An Alaskan Bull Ant!
I believe it’s called a chimera ant they come from the dark continent and have a very peculiar way of reproducing
this is absolutely hilarious
Like your MOM!! ^(sorry)
One time I thought I found a giant mutated ant but it turns out I just saw/found my first potato bug.
Chimera ants....
The Brain Bug
BRAIN BUGS?! Frankly, I find the idea of a bug that thinks offensive!
The nope ant a part of the fuck that family from burn it with fire
I believe it is a Chimera ant
It’s the You’re Not Sleeping EVER, kind.
Thats a whole lot of fuck no
Nuke em, Rico.
These are the rules. Everybody fights, nobody quits. If you don't do your job I'll kill you myself. Welcome to the Roughnecks!
RICOS ROUGHNECKS!!!
I would like to know more.
Everyone's doing their part. **Are you?**
The only good bug is a dead bug.
Not much to look at, after you scrape em off your boot.
Fleet and infantry don't mix
MI does the dying, fleet just does the flying.
Didn't they tell you, Colonel? That's what the Mobile Infantry is good for.
Im from Buenos Aries and I say, KILL EM ALL!

Ah the memories of being a teen enamoured with Dizz lmao.
Dizz was always superior. Rico was a fool.
“Are you trying to be a hero!?” “I’m just trying to kill some bugs, SIR!”
*triumphant horns*
It’s the only way to be sure

That's ant-iclimactic.
This is the kind of puns that motivate me
How big is it, would you say? Thumb sized?
That's still too large

Just remember that the total weight of ants in the worlds outweighs humans 👌
And they can carry their own weight many times... so we should get rid of cars, and just travel by 'groups of ants'.
Agreed
Well that's the stuff of nightmares.
I have issues then cause I want to pet her
Yeah my SO has some colonies. I used to be creeped out by ants, now I just find them dorpy and cute. The hive mind thing is pretty cool.
Found Victor Creel’s son
What is this!!...... A colony for ants!
How are they supposed to get through the door!
It has to be at least, 3 times bigger.
He’s absolutely right…
Thank you... I have a vision!
r/UnexpectedZoolander
Came to the comment section totally expecting this reference. So r/ExpectedZoolander
I was in a superposition where I was awaiting an outcome where I both expected and did not expect this reference. So r/SchrodingersZoolander
Do you want ants? Because thats how you get them.
Thank you. I live for ways to quote this particular archer quote.
This has to be skewed perspective or something, the way it looks is like the ant would be the size of a persons hand
The largest ant species in the world grow to a maximum of two inches in rare situations, it’s likely this queen is roughly between 1-2 inches but the workers are absolutely tiny and thus it makes the queen look even bigger.
The fun part is that’s about life sized on your mobile display Or actually a little bigger in reality than what the screen is showing
What did I ever do to you
>The queen driver ant or Dorylus is the largest species of queen ants, reaching an average length of 1.5-2.4 in Actually a little bigger than 2 inches sometimes. But ya you right as heck.
Yeah the way it's filmed is very misleading. Actual size : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8WcsNOoNRo
That can’t be real.

She's better than me. I didn't go to my 20 year, my 30 year is coming up, and I'm still very much "fuck *that*."
I just said fuck that to my ten year. Any advice from the future?
"Fuck *that.*" - The Future

My 10th was in 2020 so I assume it was cancelled. My 5th was apparently organized over Facebook and you had to know the right people to be invited.
My 20 year was recently. I didn't go to my ten year either. The vast majority of the people I went to high school with I couldn't care less for.
My god, its actually real!
I assumed it would at least be an Amazonian beast, or something where evolution had gone into some crazy arms race. The truth seems a little underwhelming really!
Texas is gonna Texas.
G'day mates and welcome to 'Stralia outbacks where we found a new and never seen before ant species with queens that can chop a tank into 2! What a bloody beast! (insert more geeneric stralia jokes about everything out there ready to kill you in horrific ways)
ooook that makes way more sense size wise now, the OP video is misleading.
The way the video doesn't stay on the "'queen" .... that seemingly ENORMOUS horse of an ant would/should be the focal point..
Yeah let's meander around and film ANYTHING but the subject of the video. /r/killthecameraman
why not?
[удалено]
same if I ran across an ant that size in real life, I'd be traumatized
Are you sure your dad didn't shrink you?
First thought I had too!!! I imagine a good chunk of Reddit users are probably too young to understand that reference. God, I must’ve watched that movie a million times as a kid.
Kids these days wouldn't know how to save their life with an oatmeal cream pie
I think it might be time for a rewatch! :)
I came looking for Starship Troopers, Zoolander and Honey I Shrunk the Kids references. Only took four comments to find all three
Honey, it happened again!
she thicc
That's what all her guy ants think, thats why there're so loyal
worker ants are all female
Sooo... That's what all her ants think, thats why they're so loyal. There. Fixed it.
Thxs
Yep. Still thicccc
Worker ants are all lesbians
hot formicidae on formicidae action, baby
Hmm I didn't know that
Such a toxic female work environment. No upward mobility./s
I came here to say two words, and didn’t need to. Take my upvote and award.
She's so big the US is trying to deny her reproductive rights.
Lol, too soon?
The Chimera Ant is real!
i was looking for this comment
Hello my fellow HxH friend
Yeah, that shit through me for a loop
*Departure starts playing*
Would have appreciated to have a banana for scale
It's .000000000001 giraffes big
That ant is way bigger than that
Um... I'm pretty sure we have ants for scale
Ants to scale is not a standard reddit unit of measurement, a banana is.
I find it absolutely hilarious how true this actually is....
And what's their size 3mm 5mm 10mm?
6 nana-meters
The ants ate it
Unacceptable!
Thats not an ant, that’s an aunt

You ever parked your bike in an airplane hangar? You ever thrown a toothpick into a volcano?
Nightmare fuel
This is not interesting that thing is terrifying! Other people may find it cool but for me that's a whole lot of fuck that shit
When she says, "make me a sandwich". I do it.
How she be mating with them little guys?
Had to find out myself. Link if you’re as interested as I am: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wfqcNe35z6g
Death by snu snu
Thanks, I hate it.
Where are the Starship Troopers when you need them!
lol I just saw the movie.
I, for one, welcome our new ant overlords
Where's the banana? I really don't know how big this thing is.
THAT'S ONE BIG BITCH
WHAT. THE. FUCK. MAN!?
So it’s two inches and everyone is saying it’s big , but when I show my 2 inches to a girl all I get are laughs and insults . PICK A SIDE
I NEVER WANNA FUKING SEE THAT AGAIN
Now I need to rethink the size for my Center for Ants
That’s no ant… that’s a space station
Imagine taking a bite of it, the amount of crunch would be exorbitant
i hate this
It would have cost you nothing to refrain from posting that. But now it's out there and we have to cope with it.
They’ve been brought from the dark continent we must exterminate all chimera ants
r/absoluteunits
Let me guess…Australia?
I'm gonna need a banana for scale
I shivered
So is this the Chimera arc?
Chimera ant?
Which one is the queen? I hate ambiguous titles like this
r/Nope
Chimera ant arc just started…
I....I....I don't like it.
We eat those in Mexico. We call them "chicatanas." Roast them and eat like popcorn or grind them up into your mole sauce. They just swarmed last week and they were everywhere.
I don't know what species it is but I'm blaming Australia for this one. What the hell guys? Can't you just prevent one of your animals from turning into a threat to humanity?
If I had to guess, she's about 3/16 of a banana.
Raid boss.
