Neat, reminds me of when I all I wanted was a interior antfarm wall after playing too much sim ants. Cursory research and bummed antfarms aren't nearly as cool in real life.

> Cursory research and bummed antfarms aren't nearly as cool in real life. For the uninitiated, what is a "bummed antfarm"?

  Bummed meaning disappointed. They’re disappointed that ant forms aren’t nearly as cool etc.

  I took it to mean it was borrowed/a hand me down/ otherwise scrounged.

Sim ant also made me get an ant farm. That's hilarious. I went out and dug up a big black and nest to find the queen and put her and some workers in my farm. Apparently that caused some kind of peasant revolt, because they killed her the first day. 0/10 experience for young me. Luckily Sim Copter didn't have the same effect on me.

  I did some playground digging as well! Bailed after getting nasty pinky bite and realized housing an army of them in an elmer glue ant farm crafted by 10 year old me was bad idea.
