What do you think would be a more compelling sight to behold from the scale of an ant?

    There are some very interesting and thoughtful replies in this thread. And yet i’m gonna go ahead and say tiddies.

      I thought about it but you know the experience probably would just ruin it for you. Human skin isn’t very smooth way up close and I imagine the odor would be something else at that scale.

    The scene from Honey I Shrunk the Kids where they find the giant oreo is still something I want to experience for myself

      Fwiw, the recipe for the white stuff in an Oreo is just shortening and powdered sugar.

      Make some of that, and a batch of chocolate cookies, and live your best life.

      And if you’re into videogames, buy Grounded - HEAVILY inspired by Honey I Shrunk the Kids, and also just an overall really well made and fun game.

      It will be a great sight, while a ladybug sucks the fluids out of your body

        Personally, I plan on being taken over by the cordyceps fungus, which will instruct me to go to a warm, wet place in order to grow its spores, then burst through me and kill me as the fungus eats my body.

          The first time i saw a documentary about this as a kid, with plenty of footage of poor Insects seeking high places, climbing to the top and burst those spores in the air in order to disperse them as far as possible, i was unable to sleep.

          I just couldn’t wrap my head around the whole ordeal and the kind of power such a fungus has.

          I know, they are unable to do this to bigger animals ( for reasons i don’t remember ), but for how long? If evolution taught me something, it’s that it finds a fucking way or/and a way to fuck.

    A truck, like they are huge if you are humansize, imagine how absolutely gigantic it would be from an ants perspective.

    Other stuff includes, motherbords, insids of mechanical watches, really small toys, eyes of different needles, sand, oil paintings, small syringes, a water droplet on a flat surface, microscope samples, Lego sets and a movie at the cinema.

      How people get downvoted for expressing their ant choices is beyond me.

      I’ll save you with an upvote.

      Do people forget it’s only non-constructive / offensive things you downvote? Not things you simply disagree with lol.

    Do you start off the size of an Ant or do you get time to prepare before being shrunk?

    I would build a food garden first and maybe a mini treehouse on a bonsai plant.

    Giant Cherry tomatoes would be great.

    Being the size of an ant would make riding small helium balloons fun.
