Serious question because I'm curious about this: How do they know that the ants are fully aware? How do you measure/research that?

I now feel bad for blowing off the limbs of infected for lols in Last Of Us.

@@saskiakramer850 I think it will be very difficult. Aside from determining life through observable characteristics, something like 'consciousness' is hard to describe (let alone, measure its origin)

@@HelDracul I have haha, LoU is more zombie like, that's scary too lol. A lot of the creatures in that game I can see being good examples of what it would look like being a victim.. But what is more subtle, realistic, mysterious, and horrifying..( _Gore description warning_ ) Imagine this being an outbreak and you go back to an infected town and there is just people in grocery stores pinned to the walls and shelves.. a creepy long strand of demonic looking thick string going through them and blooming them into a horrifying sprawled mess and spreading to the next victim down the isle. You look up and see a person cocooned with spores springing from them.. one on the ground with their ribs wide open and elongated bulb like spores jutting out from the middle. A fungus plague like that would be so creepy. Doesn't cause zombie like symptoms or anything that's too cliche. Just slowly kills the host and turns them into "art" of it's own and feeds off the victim slowly. So creepy. :C

@@Dubstequtie i mean its literally the same fungus in LoU. People would end up as you describe when infected long enough

That's right. The creators even referenced these fungi as an inspiration for it when they were looking for the most realistic possible way to simulate an infestation of a mind altering parasite that took control of its victim.

And the guy who made this video was probably inspired by The Last Of Us to make this video 😄

Aakash M. i mean besides all the ones that go extinct

Balance.. as how it should be (sorry had to quote Thanos)

Besides us...

Natural ecosystems are actually relatively unstable, changing and adapting with local conditions. For example, in Lapland, small rodents called lemmings rely on snow covering during winters to keep them safe. As the Finnish winters grow warmer, it's likely that the cover will become insufficient, leaving the lemmings exposed. The owls and hawks will have a feast, but only until the lemmings go extinct. That is likely to change the flora dramatically, as there will be no more lemmings to eat seeds, gnaw on roots and do all that. Another example would be systematic shark hunting on coral reefs. There are a number of fish that eat corals, including the parrot fish. They're prey for sharks, but only as long as there are sharks. Uncontrolled increase will kill off the corals, consequently collapsing the local ecosystem.

@@ricnyc2759 based on nothing, he just said it's a scary thought, he didn't state anything as fact.

🤣🤣🤣

I'd take a lot to adapt to so many changes in environment. Before anything like that happens, we'd notice it infecting reptiles or amphibians. Mind that even ants can survive this, recognizing the infected and getting them out. These dumb ants. And we are humans, who don't need many generations to change widespread behaviour, thanks to thing called learning and teaching.

@@brink3149 always had been [gun shoot sound]

Ants usually do that. When they start to notice they infected they try to walk as far away from the colony before the fungus takes over.

@@Epsilonsama they have the ability to do that? How? I'm interested

@@joshuasatterwhite9520 the other ants drag the infected ones away from the colony

@@_EllieLOL_ but wouldn't that infect the ants dragging them away?

@@joshuasatterwhite9520 no since the spores only appear once the fungus sprouts out of the ant

@@nnnnmhughuuhhjiijj9457 u stole what is as gonna say ahshsha

Pyscolibin - check out psychedelics, they're all based on fungi. If fungi can change humans minds they can change ants minds

@@kw2142 Yeah I get that a fungus can affect someone's mind, but that's not the same thing as taking control of it and making it do things. Imagine a fungus that could take over a human and make him go to a specific location, then just stand there until he dies. That's what the Cordyceps does. It's just like the movie "The happening."

The last of us basically explained why the fungus controls our minds and make us act "zombie" like while also going in to dim moist spaces to produce more spores to spread.

Cause shrooms are the apex species in my opinion. Hail the shruums

Simple terms it puts chemicals in the brain but not completely shutting it off and using "mind control" to make the ant think that it should go towards a specific area then it cuts off the brain from the body and having full control only leaving the brain (this part is important) so the ant is knowing what's going on but can't do anything exactly like sleep paralysis abd the fungi does it's job and the brain finally dies

🎉🎉

then go to desert fungus cant live there

"we lose"

@Megla you don't seem to understand when the fungus can already affect humans it means it already evolve/adopt high temperatures💀☠️

@@azurika_78 Well...we'll be right back...☹

@hellosorry3763 yes the ozen layer slowly being destroy so the sun ray will slowly cook the planet

I don’t think we appreciate how long it takes nature videographers to even get the shots.

They don't. This is 100% an ant in a controlled lab environment that they infected with the spore. It would be next to impossible to get these shots in the wild. They will often mock up a set to look like it's natural environment, infect it with the spore in a controlled lab setting, then get their shots over a long period of time as the parasite grows.

Zombie ants

Yup. That's exactly what they did. *Don't investigate any further*
