I love tower defense games.

The SUPREME tower defense game was "Beat the Geek".

Are you familiar?

Holy shit. What a throw back. That was one of my mates at university who did that, the exact post. It must be about 15 years old.

Edit: I've just checked, and it was 13 years ago to the day. 12th June 2012 this was posted, and then an update on 13th.

You think that's impressive? I've responded to a comment from someone who spoke to the friend of the guy that posted this photo.

So what you’re saying is you are able to update us with the results?

Only one update was given on Facebook https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/06add345-006e-4679-9ca0-ed83bb1c11a9.jpeg

I think after that he got a bunch of ants because of the jam, so resulted to slug pellets. Don't remember exactly, as it was 13 years ago to the day.

I once got rid of ants by leaving a small pile of sugar out for them.

I like to think the ants that found it took it back to the nest and said "hey guys look what we found!" then got "don't be so stupid! humans never do that! It's obviously a trap, don't ever go back there"

Annnnnd now I have slugs and ants.

Slug diplomat makes agreement with ant diplomat.
Ants carry away salt.
Slugs share jam.
OP unwittingly made bug super alliance.

Arachnids can definitely be bugs in my book, but I had never considered mollusks before!

An informal term for minibeasts of all types.

but what's in it for the Ants? They do all the work and have to share their bounty.

It’s classic slug politics where they throw their weight around on the international stage.
