The molten aluminum version was seriously cool, though.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 71 points 4 weeks ago

If you're going to destroy an entire city, at least do with style.

[-] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 25 points 4 weeks ago

It's an abandoned city, if it makes you feel better.

I was hoping otherwise, tho.

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 16 points 4 weeks ago

You want to know that ants suffered while the art was made.

[-] Beldarofremulak@lemmy.world 17 points 4 weeks ago

What is art without suffering?

::golfclap::

[-] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 weeks ago

That is not always the case.

But for this case, fuck the ants.

[-] Wogi@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

I for one would like to offer a heartfelt apology to our inevitable ant overlords.

[-] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 weeks ago

Bite me!

Wait, they did.

[-] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 78 points 4 weeks ago

Molten metal, more often, from what I've seen

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 41 points 4 weeks ago

I don't think concrete will even flow consistently enough to fill the nest.

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 32 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah because it doesn't need to set and is ready to dig up quickly and doesn't break off. Concrete would probably lose a bunch of paths when they're digging it out.

[-] brsrklf@jlai.lu 4 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Yeah, I've seen this done with aluminium.

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 56 points 4 weeks ago
  1. how it looks
  2. what it looks like

You need to pick a lane, Skippy.

[-] BowtiesAreCool@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

I gave up on this like 10 years ago on the internet.

[-] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 48 points 4 weeks ago

Here's what it looks like:

This is why advanced aliens would just blow up a city, to like see what it's like underneath.

[-] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 weeks ago

*how it looks like underneath.

Aliens can make mistakes in English as well.

[-] nonfuinoncuro@lemm.ee 6 points 4 weeks ago

is it a mistake if they're the only ones left who can use any language? I thought history was written by the victors

[-] M137@lemmy.world 16 points 4 weeks ago

Or "How it looks"

It's just disturbing how most people are dumb enough to never understand this, it's such a common mistake.

[-] IMNOTCRAZYINSTITUTION@lemmy.world 14 points 4 weeks ago

consider that perhaps language may be flexible

[-] tacosplease@lemmy.world 8 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah but there are also norms.

Could you say "Merry Birthday!" Sure. Should you though?

Same thing here. It works. It just feels off.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 weeks ago
[-] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 4 weeks ago

I recently learned that this is actually used in the UK.

[-] IMNOTCRAZYINSTITUTION@lemmy.world 0 points 4 weeks ago

it feels off, to you. it feels fine to me. does that make me dumb or am I just a different person with different thoughts and feelings than you?

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

No you're dumb because you're different obviously /s

[-] tacosplease@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

Doesn't make you dumb, but it could make you seem dumb like pronouncing the "L" in salmon.

[-] IMNOTCRAZYINSTITUTION@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

might start doing that just for fun

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago

Sometimes it bloesn't to be.

That's "yes you're totally right" in my new made up language and if you call it the obviously dumb crap it is, it's because you're inflexible

[-] IMNOTCRAZYINSTITUTION@lemmy.world 0 points 4 weeks ago

buddy are you 14 or something because that's weak

[-] midnight_puker@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 weeks ago

Thank you for addressing this.

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 13 points 4 weeks ago

How it looks like?

Look I type dumb shit and don't catch it too but this is a comic, maybe proofread.

[-] essteeyou@lemmy.world 14 points 4 weeks ago

Perhaps this was written by someone who says things like "I shouldn't of went there"

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

And things like "anotherwords, I could care less", and "peaked my interest". Or "I'm very weary of this person".

Edit: also "sike" instead of "psych". That one drives me nuts.

[-] McLoud@lemm.ee 3 points 4 weeks ago

Because the humans are thoughtless and dumb. Duh
