Humans vs. Ants

[The Arbiter]

Every species of ant on earth becomes as large as a Guinea Pig. Speed and strength are scaled to their new mass.

Assume they can still dig and climb as good as normal.

They decide human kind is prey.
Earth is given 1 hour notice.

[Powerboy]

With that kind of speed and strength, only an hour to prepare and the sheer numbers of ants there are, we don't have a chance.

At least Superman can save us!

...oh wait, no...!

[Sharpandpointies]

Well, the solid areas of the earth are instantly covered in a teeming carpet of pretty big ants...we'd need a lot, lot more than one hour prep to avert the antocolypse.

At least they're not man-sized, like that one thread where we would have ended up basically drowned under double-digit number stories of suffocating giant ants.

...people underestimate how many ants there are, and the fact that they are pretty much everywhere. Basically, we're hosed.

...oh wait, no...!

...oh, Superdick; you never cease to amaze.

That's about ten thousand trillion kilograms of ant. Edit: MY BRAIN DID A STUPID HERE SORRY. It's still ten thousand trillion kilograms of ant though.

[The MunchKING]

That's about ten thousand trillion kilograms of ant. That's like two thirds the mass of the moon suddenly existing on the surface of the Earth, so I think it's going to cause some significant problems just from that.

You say "significant problem", I hear "massive XP and payoff for The MunchKING".

I got spells of mass-destruction and enough Ethers to keep me going ALL night long. Lets see how many I can blaze through.

You make it to the next Munch-level, but everyone else is dead and eaten and the world is wrecked.

What now?

Looked it up. There are 1.6 million ants in the world for every one human being. We are hosed beyond comprehension.

[BitVyper]

Explaining my math stupid because of how embarrassed I am about that: I was tired and my brain went "oh sixteen digits is like around two thirds of 22 hur hur hur" and it took me like an entire day to realise what I'd done and like I'm just gonna set myself on fire now to burn away my shame.

Perhaps gecko sized would have been better :P

Or like... a hummingbird lol.

Mistakes were made!

[BitVyper]

*cough* that only really knocks like one zero off the total mass of ants you're making.

[Sharpandpointies]

Basically, one must not screw around with Ants. It's a bad plan.

Don't let it get to you. I've ruined lots of earths. There's infinite quintillions more along the quantum spectrum.

[Güicho]

Perhaps gecko ,,,,,!

Solution a gecko the size of a Boeing , our savior!?

Wait, never mind.
