Enormous Fire Ant Colony With Molten Aluminum (Anthill Art) #2

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 พ.ย. 2021
- This casting required three 20lb pours of molten aluminum.
30” long 23” wide 16” tall and weighs 67 pounds. This is by far the heaviest and most dense red imported fire ant/RIFA casting I’ve made so far. I will continue to make more.
Red imported fire ants are a invasive species that kill other beneficial ant species and is considered a notorious pest.

So satisfying knowing the fire ants are being immolated!
Indeed
Normally I'm against cruelty to animals. Happy to make an exception for fire ants. Those little fuckers are evil, and also an invasive species.
wait wait wait hold on here! so FIRE ants, can't handle real fire at al? well shit...
Immolated. I like that word
@@DrownedInExileAlso, given that they're ants, the chance that they even have a capacity for feeling pain whatsoever is zero, as that would not make any sense with evolution, just like with most swarm insects and arachnids. This is the only positive impact these ants ever had on the world.
Ant: Your Majesty, we finished our New and great Ant Hill
Queen Ant: I like that ...
Ant: Her Majesty is right ...
....
Queen Ant: ... Why do you feel something ... something hot that is entering the tunnels?
Ant: let me check ...
* *looks out* *
Ant: I see that a ... a .... Shiny Liquid of Silver color is co---

Please make it in to a comic. Book
Ironic how "fire" ants can't stand the heat 😂
That’s an amazing cast! Glad to see you had some support for the piece while excavating so nothing broke.
Without support a lot of these casting will break before you get them out of the ground my new large one broke even with the support. Gotta pay close attention
Ant #1: 'Is it getting hot as hell in here or is it just me?' Ant #2: 'well, I need to take a bathroom break so I'll check it out when I go upstairs'
Fascinating. End-product looks like a coral-reef made of metal.
WW3 is going on in the background while this man digs lmao. So much siren
Anyone else notice the creepy face in the base of the cast when he starts cooling it down at 2:20?
You do a great 👍job editing and producing these. Really loved this vid and subbed.
Amazing. I mean its a horrible way to die but the fire ants are scary. I am pretty sure they have an empire under the whole town here. You can see their hills in the road in some places.
Fire ants are also an invasive species. No sympathy for them.
I addicted to your videos!!!!! Pls post more!
That is amazing how many entrances there are to the anthill. When you start pouring, you can quickly see the steam/smoke coming out of a dozen other holes. Even on the second pour.
What happened to the ants ? I don’t see their bodies
@@AzureKite191 Evaporated. Whatever traces are left are melted into the metal. There isn't enough left behind to see
I know it's spit up but it sounds like the ants have sirens for medical services.
Very clean extraction! Great job.
The wails of the damned are really atmospheric lol
Brilliant work
So fascinating!
Nice work!
amazing piece of art!
Sounds like you live next to a race-track.
Curious why you are pouring slag?
That is an excellent anthill art. Why do ants want to dig around roots!?! Makes it hard I bet?
Very nice job!
Why didn't you scoop off all of the impurities?"
I just don’t bring a slag bucket
Great job
Why are u only having 60 subscribers??? 😯😯😯
Just made this channel, thanks!
*you
That had a few ants living in it..one or two at least
so pretty
That’s why they’re fire ants
Ants build little societies
Love these videos! Not gonna lie tho, every time I see the nasty slag/impurity chunks fall in I cringe a little bit
Yeah I’m working on not doing that. These pours take 10x the effort another would take and I’m inpatient.
Awful lot of slag in that pour
Are you near a construction site for this one?
No, I was near road construction on my newest fire ant casting though.
It's a shame the ants can't die twice.
Yiğenim vidamini kaymağında değil al onu.
If you twisted my arm, I'd have to say this was morally reprehensible. But...I clip things off of my fingernails bigger than an ant's nervous system, and...honestly, I don't think they'd give me the same consideration. Plus...ants are just...the worst.
this is not good if u keep doing that all around the state you could extinct ants from the world O_o
I highly doubt that considering it is estimated there are more ants than there are humans on earth
i lost braincells reading this
Fire ants are an invasive species.They drive out the ants that are meant to live in the area,that messes up the environment.There are so many it probably isn't possible to kill all of them,but even getting rid of some of them helps the ants that are supposed to be here.
First off, fire ants are an invasive species that are making other ants go extinct, and eliminating them is a task being carried out by environmentalists. Second off, if every adult did this every day for a hundred years, the ant population would likely not see a substantial decline, as there are just that many ants.
