2. city sends tiny permit to affix to baseboard
3. try to move a book, are told “keep this entrance clear, ma’am” because of “cement delivery coming later”
4. Your dish rack is dismantled “because it’ll be cheaper to rebuild from scratch”
5. no room on the dresser due to like 85 tiny pickups illegally parked there

@futurebird do carpenter ants get plumber butt?

@futurebird I love that it's the husband getting the attention

Lesbian carpenter ants aren't too unlikely, but statistically speaking...

@WizardOfDocs @futurebird
Considering that practically every ant you see is female, the odds are probably pretty good.
@jargoggles @futurebird some of them could be bi, can't forget those
@jargoggles @futurebird but like is worker a different gender from queen, or
there's so much you could do with eusocial genders
@WizardOfDocs @futurebird
That's between an ant and their chemical trail.

@WizardOfDocs @jargoggles

Ants don't really have gender as we know it? Workers and queens are nearly always the same sex. Ants do have roles/caste

worker, queen, solider etc. and these function a bit more like gender but also not really.

@futurebird @WizardOfDocs
And it's none of our damn business besides :P

@futurebird

And the other kind of carpenter ants can be identified by faint music with words like "Close to You", "Rainy Days and Mondays", "We've Only Just Begun", "Top of the World" and such.

In my neck of the woods it’s a 50/50 mix of pickups and 7th gen Corollas, with the occasional 2005 Mustang sprinkled in there for variety.

e: Oddly enough, the pickups, which have more ground clearance and can go off-road a bit, are usually parked somewhere on the street, whereas the Corollas and lone Mustang are parked much further into the job site, meaning they off-roaded cars not meant for such things.

They told me the job would be done in a week, but they don't seem to be leaving anytime soon.

@futurebird OMG, funniest thing today!
@futurebird
😄 This is the best laugh of the day!
@futurebird I'm sorry, why was I highlighted in this post?

@nensondubois

How were you highlighted? I'm confused.

@futurebird I'm not entirely sure; this thread appeared as a notification for me.
@futurebird Not specifically at all.
@nensondubois My guess: You previously starred or boosted the post, and then @futurebird recently edited it. That will generate a notification.
@timmc @futurebird I'm guessing. Thank you for taking the time to get back to me. Much appreciated!
