Scientists poured cement into an abandoned ant colony to reveal a vast underground city 8 meters deep, 50 m² wide, with tunnels, chambers, and ventilation. Millions of ants once built this.

I think they did filled an abandoned colony. There was also a jackass that did the same experiment, but using melted aluminum and with a totally not abandoned fire ant colony. Those are two different experiments. One was for science, the other was for likes.

Aliens: So we removed all the oxygen from the Earth to really boost plant life. We noted a 21% increase in plant life. Fascinating.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force. As if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

I’m surprised a viscous and heavy concrete mix is that it didn’t collapse most of the tiny pathways

Incredible that they just make these structures, they can’t even think yet they can create complex structures with ventilation and even use chambers for farming fungi.

Do this with my ass
Ant hill Armageddon, for science.
Impressive. What were the uncles doing tho?
Where did the ants go? Why did they abandon their home?
Were they recalled to their home planet?
How do they know it was abandoned? Did they ring the doorbell and nobody answered?

Is that what happens when you take meds for ADHD?
Fwiw this was originally a national geographic video I think and the ant colony wasn’t abandoned at all.
Where can I find the full documentary?
Pov, the ant that didn’t want to leave:
