"Without medication" while describing medication

anting*, not ant-eating

Oh man, someone start spreading fire ants as a cure for something. This administration would be all over it.
- Can we leave US politics out of the science memes
  
  I'd agree, but the joke was funny.
  
  Does this joke make you feel uncomfortable?
  If so, can I recommend some ants?
- Fire ant venom boosts testosterone levels when applied to the scrotum, according to my dog
- If only bullet ants were a thing here, we could use those instead.
- What administration?
- this administration
  Based on the other comment you mean the US government? Do you just assume everyone on the internet is American?
  
  Although I kind of agree with you, I feel like everyone knows when someone refers to this administration as being US in relation to extremely dumb shit at this point
  
  Do you know a dumber one?
  
  Genuine question, do other countries refer to their current government as "this administration" or "the [leader] administration"?
  In my exposure to non-US political discussions, there seems to be more reference to the majority parties or coalitions, where that's more important to politics than it is in the US with our far-too-powerful executive branch

Get ready for RKF JR to introduce this as a new health policy in 3.. 2..

Isn't that a jackdaw?
- "It's a bird!"
  
  Happy Bird Day!
- They're the same thing
  
  Uhm, no, not the same thing.
  That's like saying "pasta" is the same as "spaghetti". Spaghetti is pasta, like jackdaw is a crow, but "crow" is contextual. Where I live, it means the European hooded crow, but in Australia, it wouldn't. Just like pasta can refer to spaghetti or macaroni.

  A crow is a bird of the genus Corvus, or more broadly, a synonym for all of Corvus.

Instructions unclear, dick stuck in an ant hill
- It is imperative that the cylinder not be damaged

Without medication
💊 🐦‍⬛ Just flying over to the ant drug store to get some fresh HCOOH.

This is super cool and I'd definitely tuck it away for later use if I weren't allergic to fire ant venom.
- I mean they use 24 species of ants, I doubt all of them are fire ants if any at all
- i don't think fire ants piss acid as a form of defense? the post is about ants that spray formic acid at scary things, not being stung.
  
  Ah fuck. My bad

Prison school
- Ayyy 👉👉

Sounds like total made up ai bullshit
- This one's real https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anting_(behavior)
  
  We Finns actually also practice it.
  Not too common, but definitely not unheard of.
  Ant hill = muurahaispesä , to sit = istuu/istua istu*
  Look it up in YT I'm sure there's more than enough results
- It was in Prison School so at least it's made up human bullshit

Dale Gribble "Hold my beer"

How do the crows avoid getting acid into their eyes?
- The safe word
- Wink wink
