       The energy I waste keeping the lid on my deeply silly nature could power a small factory. I will not start an argument about changing the school mascot to an ant (despite the many admirable qualities of ants) not today.  probably.

       @futurebird many places have bees as mascots, why not ants?Both can be excellent at working together, creating something bigger and more magnificent than the individuals. Both are strong and smart. The only difference is we've worked out how to harvest what the bees work so hard to make......wait......bees aren't a mascot of teamwork, they're a mascot of exploitability!

       @futurebird Why not just led the lid off, relax and let other people spend •their• energy trying to keep up?

       @futurebird wasn't there a school in California that made the Banana Slug their mascot?

       @futurebird You can argue there is precedent.Teams from the University of South Carolina Sumpter are known as the Fire Ants.https://uscfireants.com
