I just poured myself a glass of sparkling water without seeing the small ant in the cup. Then I see it tumbling in a carbonated jacuzzi that is my cup of sparkling water.
Ants are the Erlang of the animal kingdom.
Ants evolved to handle "real" natural threats; house ants today die in the most absurd cartoonish ways, often unintentional by the murderer.

Same with people though we mostly live in it and not die to it

Someone dropped some gum on the ground through the walkway of my apartments and nobody ever picked it up, and now there are like 6 ant hills surrounding it and the gum is partially unwrapped and half-buried between the hills as they seem to be trying to bring the entire thing down into their tunnels.

I used to deliberately drop syrup between pavement cracks and watch in entertainment as an ant came up, started drinking it, then went back down and then a whole parade of ants would come up to help drink it.
