How Can You Tell The Gender Of An Ant?

This meme plays on the classic "if it floats, it's a witch" logic from medieval times, except now we're applying it to ant gender determination. The punchline? If it floats, it's clearly a buoy-ant (boy ant). Get it? Buoyant? I'll see myself out.

What makes this extra ridiculous is that in real ant colonies, most of the ants you see are actually sterile female workers. The males are basically just flying sperm donors that show up once a year, mate, and die. So technically, if you're testing random ants, you're probably drowning a bunch of ladies for science. But sure, let's pretend buoyancy is a valid sexing method.

The illustration of the ant casually walking on water like some six-legged Jesus really seals the deal here. That's one confident boy ant.
