I heard that if I pour molten metal down a man's throat, he might scream for 2 seconds before he shuts up
Your castings would be even better if you removed the dross from the molten aluminum before you make your casting 😉.
That is the coolest thing I have ever seen
@TIA1988 they are just native Americans... not Indians sir..
Why were u standing in the direction of the wind? Theres plenty space clear of the smoke. Trying to inhale the smoke?
I was like "why the hell would you pour molten metal on a fire ant hill in bare feet?" then I saw it was in Florida and it all made sense.
Yeah, this is how we get revenge. The bare feet thing is a necessity for the ritualistic dance that follows a successful colony destruction effort.
Florida man just build different
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 stop
Exactly. People from Florida are smart enough not to pour molten aluminum on their feet.
humans can’t die if they using molten aluminum and bear feet in florida
I love how this guy is barefooted and handling extremely hot metal
it's says it's for maximum protection... of his shoes, they are perfectly safe inside the house.
That is how you tell that he is a pure professional
Hey, it’s Florida. There’s your proof
shoes are expensive. he got the feet for free!
remember, is for maximum protection
One day a giant collosal ant will pour molten aluminum on your house and post it on AntTube
*in your city
Keep dreaming ant... we'll always be apex predators.
We don't call it HumanTube tho

LOOOOOOL
I like how the ants just accept the situation and immediately starts building a new one. Nothing brings their mood down

@@JohnZ_GG *Talos proceeds to turn his head*
Imagine you are an ant, just chilling in your ant hill home when suddenly the entire place is flooded by some sort of metallic lava.
The ants' last words were probably "isn't getting kind of warm in here"
@@puppy969 no it was helpp save the baby's!!! The Queen dying no sister!!
@Just an Chanel Likely the ants would die non vocally. Given that they can't speak. They also genocide and kidnap from other nests en mass and would likely kill and eat that "family" you mentioned given the right circumstances. Nature isn't peaceful.
@@7r47ufchfyw7twguwgu ?
@Danny Dogg what?💀
Ant: Uhm, excuse me, excuse me. But uhm, I'm looking for my room? Room 32986?
Room? More like Doom 😂
Ant worker: you go straight trun left straight again about a couple of "dust" trun down and make sure take a right and then left on the junction. After you arrive, there would be room no. 566356 make sure to turn left again and go straight in about 15 intersection passed make a left turn and continue straight for about 2 tunnel. Take a U turn because there's been a collapsed happened. Lucky after taking a U turn it would be a straight line from there.
Ant: Do i need to take a right trun after the left trun?
Ant Worker: Which left?
Lol not gonna lie. I read this and fell of my chair.
That got me for some reason.
You done well.
Amazing what these ants can build without any tools and microscopic brains.
Sorry, all of the rooms are currently filled.
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced

This inspired me to use the same technique on my mother in law's home. The results were stunning!
Jim - I don't know what's with these other people, but I thought this was hilarious. And I even like my mother-in-law.
😂
I thought it was too. 😂 And same. I was one of the lucky ones who ended up w a great mother-in-law.
Well now you don't have to worry about her.... lucky duck.. lol...
Lol
It's actually quite fascinating how ants can create such architectures with just holes, deep, somehow complex, yet primitive.
They have free healthcare. Ain't primitive at all. 😂

Not only is this an amazing excavation considering the size of the ant, but stop for a second and think about how they navigate from the bottom to the open air. Nature is truly magnificent.
pheromones
Fire ants are particularly industrious in their nesting practices. Lots of cool little facts considering what a frankly awful species they are. For one, they purposely keep several hundred workers right at the top of the mound on standby, under a very loose, delicate layer of sandy soil. Slightest disturbance and a huge mob is on scene in seconds, that's how they can swarm so fast. Next interesting thing is the sheer numbers. I read somewhere that a fully mature nest can house almost half a million ants. Finally, they go DEEP. Like deep deep. Like some nests can be several feet deep. For as horribly as I and these _things_ get along, I do truly respect the way they go about things. All except for how destructive they are. They're incredibly destructive to wildlife, particularly ground nesting species of animals and birds.
Was magnificent...past tense in this case. The art work is cool though.
It is magnificent, until a human comes along and pours molten metal into it.
If there is magnificence, it cannot arise by itself. It must be the creator of this magnificence. This is the Almighty Allah, the creator of all the worlds.
“Bare foot for maximum protection”. Got me in stitches! 😂
Would be interesting to see the nests of different species of colonies side by side to see how their architectures differ!
Ant comes back after getting food: hey I’m ba- WHAT TF HAPPENED?
You hear the Terminator music playing and you see one ant walkout 😎
Fire ant version of Pompeii lol
Imagining the millions of fire ants screaming as they roast is music to my soul.
edgelord
Its as if millions of fire ants cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced...
Millions? Try billions fire ants are so prolific it's crazy... Which makes them such a problem.
@@MrLinkkid i steped near those ants and you can trust me, this is the solution
Its crazy to think about how many ants are trapped in a cavity inside those tunnels
It looks like coral when placed on its base, i love these videos
The ants could navigate that structure underground with no light. Meanwhile, I struggle to find my car in a parking garage.
Gotta wonder what that random tunnel that goes off to the side was for. Some rebellious worker ant's vanity project? A Shawshank Redemption style escape attempt by Ant-y Dufresne?
Ants have a so called garbage dump sometimes away from the colony
Or that was their escape route and they collapsed it in behind them so the molten lava wouldn't follow and kill the survivors. Little Timmy, Jimbob the 2nd, and molly the warrior survived to start a new colony 5 feet over.
Yeah they decided it might be a good idea to build an escape route just in case some butthole pours molten liquid into their colony.
@@AshU-ug2fyno queen🤨
Could have also a path for them to move and start making a new colony
As a NW Floridian, it brings me great joy to see fire ants given this treatment. Sic semper solenopsis.
Hahaha
Glad you clarified that you did this to an invasive species and not regular ants👍
Ant Lives Matter!

My man out here walking barefoot right next to a massive fire ant colony whilst filling said colony up with liquid metal.
And of course he is from Florida.
Edit; Spelling
That’s as Florida Man as Florida Man can get.
Don't forget while filming the shit. There is one where he is the dark, talking about he can't see while carrying the hot metal.
It's basically modern art it could be sold at Sotheby's for a couple hundred thousand hahaha
Pfft I wish, It’s broken in one spot too
How much do you get for one of these pieces?
This wasn't just a colony, this was a castle and boy is it beauitful
Imagine going to work, and then you see liquid metal pouring from above
I'd genuinely buy that just to hang up in my house as a beautiful art peace.
This isn’t something you’d hang unless turned into a very heavy chandelier or something.
Keep it in a corner instead, you cant possibly hang a nest
Trim a little off the top so its flat and turn it into a glass table
@@Lumine_Kai eat off the carcasses of dead ants 🤤😍
@@zzyzxzzyzx Metal af if I'm being honest.

@@FloridaFoxAnthillArt Well, let's be real, here. On the one hand, ants are amazing creatures on many levels. BUT, these are RIFAs we're talking about here which are an invasive and highly destructive species. I love ants, truly do, but these little fuckers are just different. First time I got hit by them I was truly shocked by how rapidly they swarmed my feet, and once I had a chance to think about it many many many hours after the insane burning of so many stings started to wear off, I thought, "These things wanted to eat me alive." After that sank in, I didn't care so much about their little lives. I don't go out of my way to wipe them from the Earth, but I can't in good conscience lobby to protect them from harm either. If I can't get bent about killing mosquitos or yellowjackets, then I sure can't get too upset about dead RIFAs. Just think about all the ground nesting bird chicks they've eaten and that should put anyone's mind a little more at ease.

Now this is modern art I want in my living room.

Those ants are really fire ants now
That deserves to be a centerpiece, absolutely goes to my top3 casts ive seen all time.
Several fire ants were harmed in the production of this video.
That’s amazing. After Eminent Domaine was applied and the ants relocated to a new neighborhood, the casting began. No ants were harmed in this video.
@Javier Jimenez - well, a new realm, anyway. Think: steam.
@@wickedcabinboy ROFL, a new phase. I was thinking at first "Yeah lol 'relocated' as CO2" but I'm not sure it gets hot enough for that.
Some day some alien is gonna do that to us. A massive molten human colony from our earth. Gonna be so pretty.
Very soon I’ll be watching from the 🚊
One day big aliens will do the same with Earth.
Standing barefoot at the base of a giant fire ant Hill with with crucible full of molten aluminum. Sign me up
Great video and editing. Your pour technique for that size of mound definitely yielded a masterpiece.
Is it just me or am i hearing the cry of ants when they were burned to death by molten Aluminium?
1 a.m. I'm sitting here completely stoned and it's time for these kinds of videos again ☠️
"Ants have already started to recover." Uh, how the hell did they do that? You can see the molten aluminum went just about everywhere... those must be some resilient ants!
Looks like a silver Christmas tree, I can’t believe it! Good on you to help the other ants 🤗
2 things you get out of this
1. An amazing art piece
2. Committing a mass genocide on ants that have spent months building their fortress
I've done aluminum casting before. Would recommend tossing some powdered flux on top, then stirring briefly and scraping off the slag from the top before pouring, for much better flow and finish.
To be honest with you, that's not really fire. That is lava.
Now imagine a much advance species cast some stasis technology to earth and harvest us as an art to their collection
That happened in one of my dreams.
Brainiac's bottle cities basically
Bro’s colony lore boutta go crazy
We are literally the aliens from horror movies, where they like collect planets as art
Imagine yourself working when suddenly a ton of lava was poured into you...
What happens to the ants? I know they are not a good thing to have in your yard due to bites and attacks, but are they fried and disappear or are they visible in the surface? Just wondering. Have you ever created one with termite mounds?
The ants are incinerated almost instantly.
@@senatorarmstrong8960 That's nice to know that they did not suffer, yes I said suffer. These ants are truly pests that decimate land and animals, plus the are hard to remove. This artistic creation let's us see first hand the beauty of the colony, and remove the pestilence at the same time. I just didn't want them to suffer. I know, crazy lady, but it's who I am.
@@donnadamelio5890 Ants are incapable of feeling pain as you or I know it. Their brains are just not developed enough to comprehend pain.
@@donnadamelio5890 They are Fire Ants. 99.999% of the people don't give a crap if they suffer. Have you ever been bitten by a few dozen fire ants at once???
They are still apart of nature and amazing architects.
It looks like it could be a model building of some advanced alien civilization.
“ I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices crying out in terror and then suddenly silenced”
Not sure why I find it funny but the fact that we would destroy an entire colony of living ants to make beautiful living room like art makes me laugh
Triggered commenters make me laugh. Glad that we both laugh at things!
@@anderssanderson4073 For reals
Well atleast they were invasive.
What a beautiful fractal structure!

I love this kind of art work, so amazing...someday love to see one made of brass, heavy I know but it would be cool
Absolutely stunning work of art
Remember people, that this amazing work of art wouldn't have been possible without the millions of 'willinly' souls! 😅
The survivor ants are gonna tell their grandchildren about this event one day. Probably get a movie too.
This is one of the most beautiful ant hills I think I’ll ever see

Fascinating! I read a newspaper piece about this art when I was 10 or 11. Just as fascinating now when I'm 70!

Imagine come back from a 2 days trip and see your house in negative made out of aluminium, upside down
No fire ants were harmed during the making of this video
He needs to remove the Slag from his crucible before he pours.
i was wondering about that. but it appears not to get into the pour
I can confirm no ant was harmed in the making of this video
That is amazing how deep they were, if have never thought it
Ah yes, florida where people pour HOT even BURNING hot liquid on ant hills BAREFOOTED.
This is what I expect the layout of Khazad-dum to look like if they had poured massive amounts of molten metal down it
that looks so cool, imagine an ant waking up and is like: what the hell happened here??
ASMR: Killing fire ant colony with molten aluminum
soon as I saw buddy pouring molten aluminum with no shoes on it all began to make sense.
"No ants were harmed during the making of this sculpture."
0:05 this guy has the biggest balls of existance if he is really doing this barefoot in front of a huge colony of fire ants
Pouring liquid hot metal, with no shoes on, is about as Florida as it Gets XD
This is like a mini Christmas 🎄! So beautiful
I just discovered this Ant casting videos recently and it’s so fun to watch. 😊
It's important to make those holes so the formed sprues will vent the air as well as direct the molten metal into the casting chamber. Beautiful casting.
Remember, ants can't feel pain (sadly), they just sense they are damaged
Why do you want them to feel pain?
Yes, like the damaged guy who did this.
I think they're better off like that considering how many of them die all the time
