    Could be used to help defend Ukraine, or Taiwan (when the time comes) or isn't it PC to mention such things.

    Yeah but the problem with Fire ants is once you invite them in, they refuse to leave...

    Yoo don't even have to invite them, if there were red ants on your property at once time for the horned lizards to eat. pretty soon there will be no red ants and no Horney toads. Just 100's of mounds housing billions of the mean critters

    Nice combination of precision and highly varying size. Also makes use of the media trope of impending doom from above, while fabricating a measurement unit that combines both the cause and victim of a prehistoric extinction event. Original article: https://www.jpost.com/science/article-714778

    Holy **** that article is bad. At first glance I incorrectly interpreted the headline as 2.3x the size of the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs (which I'm sure was the intention). Nope, it's 2.3x the size of "a dinosaur." A tiny little jumpy dinosaur or one of the big mofos? Meaningless. Could be anything. So apparently the asteroid is 51m in diameter. That's actually a decent sized chunk. Why didn't they just say that in the headline?
