How the hell do ants live under water?

As far as I know I am the only one who knows of this beastly magic ants posses that allows the vermin to survive even being placed under water for 24 hours.

You see TW... im very bored and half insane... so i decided it would be a great idea to tie a carpenter ant gently to a string and weight one end and put it into a glass of water.

The ant will struggle and within 60 seconds stop moving and will not float due to the aforementioned string.

The crazy part is that if you remove the ant and let it stand in the air for an hour or three it will very very slowly come around back to life like a man who is recovering from a brick to the head... eventually the fucker will be good as new.

Now somebody tell me... how the fuck can an ant survive 24 hours underwater in a coma?


Here is a pic of me tying an ant to a string.

If you have any large ants around i recommend this original Spinfusor Salad experiment!

Medical science continues to provide me with time and cautions that eventually it will run out when the dice have a bad roll.


In the mean time i continue to have pieces taken out of me and the odd organ reshuffled... This is the 3rd and a half time ive been jimmied open from sternum to pubic bone... this pic is old but the idea is of course the same shit different day.

The real rub is that on top of this wonder of a scar I also have two other nice ones... one on my choad and the other just below my pubic bone... that is where they disconnected the nerves to my testes and sucked out some of my male sex organ gobbledegook.

I will never experience an orgasm again on top of the last one of my life wasted on merely adequate lesbian porn. (But what the hell else could i have done on the day before my junk got disconnected?)

So yea... im pretty fucked up.

worst of all... 1/3 times i pee i need a catheter

Well, ants are designed to survive floods and very soggy environments, but it doesn't mean they are aquatic insects. They breathe through spiracles in their abdomen. They close off the spiracals to keep the water out and can remain in water for a while.

Yes, maybe depending on the temperature they might last a couple of weeks in a kind of suspended animation condition. They sort of shut down for a while till the flood waters recede and then start to come out of it. But they do not absorb oxygen from the water or respire through some other process. Many insects can survive being in water for awhile - but it doesn't mean they just go about their business. They just remain alive till conditions get better (the water goes away). As I mentioned above, the temperature will be important too: the cooler they are, the less they move, the less energy they burn, and the less oxygen they need. Also, different ants have different abilities for living in different conditions. So while fire ants may survive some conditions, another species may fare worse or better.

michael c. hall has cancer and he manages to act just fine

i've known lots of people who had cancer that didn't let it ruin their lives

if spin is alive after 5 years of having cancer, it obviously isn't that bad or else he would have been dead in 3 months
