Why tf would anyone crush ants? Is this a thing?

Like, killing them? One or two running across a table, and you just pop em?

Huh, oh yeah, like any invertebrate, bcs they are within human space which isn't allowed.

Idk why my brainhole didn't make the connection, I def know people that kill eg spiders if they see them.

I sometimes kill mosquitos that won't leave via regular ventilation paths.

Spider Bros can stay. Ants too stinky.

You murderer!
I hope the smell never washes off your hand, you sick son of a bitch.

Look, if they wanna stay alive, they can take a shower.

No, it's ugly? I just swish them away.

Like spray them with water? Sure, if they're in the sink or on the counter. If you mean just swat them away, I wouldn't trust that to kill them. And as soon as it doesn't kill them, and they find their way back to the nest, there's a chance they'll lead others back, if they found so much as a scrap of food.
