OK, I've now spent a week in the fridge and C2, signifying my copiousness in this moment, is a whopping 738 342 096 844 copiousness units. This means I'm even more copious than I expected!

I just got the best idea ever: Why don't I lock myself in the fridge, become more copious and take over the world? Ants can do it, so why can't I?
Let C1 be my copiousness in this moment. After I break out of the fridge I'll post C2, which will be my copiousness in that moment. If my calculations are correct, I expect C2 to be roughly 738 342 096 843 times C1.

I wish they didn't excist so i didn't have to kill them, actually it's quite tiresome to walk behind an ant with my magnifying glass and than having the sun dissappears behind a cloud.
or maybe that's God's way of telling me not to do that.
better use a flamethrower.

I think the optimum temperature would be something aproaching whatever the ambient temperature minimums are of their natural habitat. However, since ants hibernate at low temperatures I would imagine that their copiousness would be triggered by their emergence from this dormant state as the temperature increases, so the actual temperature is probably not that important as long as it is cold enough for them to enter stasis.

So sometimes ants can become less copious when you decrease the temperature? This means that sometimes ants can become more copious when you increase the temperature. So the question is:
What is the ideal temperature if you want to maximize their copiousness?

At that point they are most certainly no longer copious and probably rather brittle.

mmmmm... crunchie...
...any desires to be copious would have long since abated due to the sudden need for long thermal underwear.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Warning!
If seen do not approach this Ant.
Ant has been known to cover his victims in honey and eat them.

Hmmm, I'm thinking we don't have enough postings for you to vote yet.

In the room where I am there are huge (1-2 cm) ant-like creatures. Instead of putting them in the fridge I kill them. If they were bigger, I wouldn't like to look at their bodies, so I'd try to throw them out of the window alive.
I wonder, is it the same with people? If people were as small as these ant-like creatures, would I just kill them like ants instead of throwing them out of the house? I think it would be somewhat disgusting to look at ant-sized people walking around the room, so I'd have to get rid of them somehow, and if they were really small, it might be hard to catch them alive.
CONCLUSION:
1. I think it's nice that people are relatively normal in size and don't walk around my room directionlessly like these creepy ant-like creatures.
2. I feel bad killing these ant-like creatures that have done nothing bad for me. I wish they didn't exist, so I wouldn't have to worry about them.

Where does one go to get a mastodon these days?

Today I noticed it's summer and there's a lot of ants. I thought I'd remind everyone that now it's a good time to catch them and make them more copious. I've been thinking about mating them with mastodons to create a race of really small mastodons that would take over the world.

The cops didn't bring any but the no cops did. But by then the pot head pixies had all run away.
