How I Made an Ant Think It Was Dead—The Zombie Ant Experiment

In this video I show you how I made an ant think it was dead by putting a specific chemical on it that ants use to signal when they have died. This is how ants know to put the ants that have passed away into the ant graveyard.

"A weird thing picked me up, and then I felt really sleepy, I died man I'm telling you"

[eunicesanchez]

Poor ant, he fell asleep because he was cold, then he woke up and thought he was dead

[Sk-vhox]

When that dead ant woke up 2 days later and returned to the colony, all the other ants hailed this resurrection and accepted this ant as their One True Prophet.

[DenHenson]

“Don’t worry, it doesn’t hurt the ant”

Ant: has hardcore psychedelic death experience in the graveyard

[glenngriffon]

"I was doing my duty, protecting the colony, I was taken away by an alien force which I fought against. I found myself in a place of terrible cold. I felt sleepy, I laid down, and I died."
"You *_died_*?!"
"...well I got better."

[zornielius]

"Hey Timmy, why didn't you call in sick yesterday? We had a math test."
"Sorry Ms. Angela I was just dead for a little bit."

[FunnyPatrickorg]

"Ah darnit, bobby died again"

"Really? This is like the third time this week!"

[EchosTackyTiki]

I love how he not only accepts his fate, he volunteers for it. He's like "OK, I'm dead, cool. This is where the dead guys go, I'm just gonna hang out here. Sounds great."

[mrpl]

Ant: Guess I’ll die

[jeebus.h]

Ant 1: "Yo, ain't you die last week?"
Ant 2: "Yeah, but I got better."
Ant 1: "Aight, dope."

[solbushbaby]

“Hey, Dave! Get Over Here And Work!”
“I Can’t I’m Dead!”
“Oh, Ok!”

[dannyboyz]

I really hate waking up in freezing cold stupor, thinking you are dead, and trying to put yourself into the grave. I'm sure we can all relate to how that ant felt at that moment.

[ThefamousMrcroissant]

"Hey Bob, why weren't you at work yesterday?"
"Oh I was dead"

[omniphage]

"does not hurt the ants at all" - Ants in full blown existential crisis might disagree :D

[TeshiKtDk]

Ant: What are you doin?
Ant 2: going to the graveyard
Ant: Y?
Ant 2: cuz im ded
Ant: oh k, good day
.
.

Ant: wait a dam minute...

[KellySmith]

"Hey man."
"Hey."
"You look pretty down, what's wrong?".
"Yeah, I just found out that I'm dead."
"Oh. I'm sorry for you loss, .... you want me to take you to the graveyard?"
"Nah. I need a walk anyway."

[bonita]

Police: You killed him
Me: he's not dead he's just... cold

Ants: Sorry Joe we didn't make the rules

Joe: 🪦⚰️
