Oh yes, let us just create a private little safe space for everyone, so nobody has to actually bother with being criticized for being lazy or doing stupid stuff. Because not bothering about anything will definitely make the world a better place. Maybe we can even build some walls so we don't have to see the terrible world out there and admit it's there anymore, that sounds like a good plan which could definitely improve the situation.

You know, maybe you're right. Maybe I shouldn't bother with people not reading the post they're answering to and just do the same. Maybe I shouldn't have bothered that GAN was spreading one of the worst creeping ecological disasters on the planet. Maybe your ancestors shouldn't have bothered with all this exhausting independence stuff or with fighting some fascists on a far-away continent either. Maybe people shouldn't have bothered about CFC destroying the Ozone layer or humanity scraping worldwide nuclear annihilation multiple times - we would likely all be dead but at least we'd die happy in our personal safe spaces relieved from ever having to take responsibility for anything, let alone the burden of improving ourselves.

To be honest, that video is more like your response to criticism than that of TC.

Also, do you have anything else besides that GAN thing? I recall you getting a topic locked on the AntsCanada forum (which has much lighter moderation) for dramatizing the topic you posted there about it. Perhaps a more logical, less emotional response is in order?

It would be great if you people deleted your comments and stop polluting rather informative thread with your nonsense...

This guy couldn't be more right. Sorry to everyone who had the unfortunate experience of reading through these replies. I shouldn't have even bothered.

I don't know how long you've been on these forums, but you have no idea how much I agree with you. Sorry you had to read through that. Like TC said, we shouldn't have even bothered.

Mass pandemonium. What even happened here; why is there such commotion?

Agreed. Thanks for your guys' advice. I was planning to put them into a wine fridge anyway, because I knew that the fridge might be too cold for them. But I wanted to see if you guys would have a better idea other than a wine fridge.

 

Serafine gave me some advice, such as: "Ants don't breathe that much oxygen, especially when they're hibernating." 

 

Even though dermy's statement was not that much directly answering my question, I still was able to learn about that, and save it for prior knowledge in the future.
