I heard that if I pour molten metal down a man's throat, he might scream for 2 seconds before he shuts up
Your castings would be even better if you removed the dross from the molten aluminum before you make your casting 😉.
That is the coolest thing I have ever seen
@TIA1988 they are just native Americans... not Indians sir..
Why were u standing in the direction of the wind? Theres plenty space clear of the smoke. Trying to inhale the smoke?
This inspired me to use the same technique on my mother in law's home. The results were stunning!
Jim - I don't know what's with these other people, but I thought this was hilarious. And I even like my mother-in-law.
😂
I thought it was too. 😂 And same. I was one of the lucky ones who ended up w a great mother-in-law.
Well now you don't have to worry about her.... lucky duck.. lol...
Lol
I was like "why the hell would you pour molten metal on a fire ant hill in bare feet?" then I saw it was in Florida and it all made sense.
Yeah, this is how we get revenge. The bare feet thing is a necessity for the ritualistic dance that follows a successful colony destruction effort.
Florida man just build different
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 stop
Exactly. People from Florida are smart enough not to pour molten aluminum on their feet.
humans can’t die if they using molten aluminum and bear feet in florida
It's not just art, it's a Mass Grave.
RIP Ants
They ain't just aints. They's livin' thangs!
No this is aluminum
@@FloridaFoxAnthillArt No this is patrick
no this is an envelope
That would be my Christmas tree for a long time.
Looks like a Christmas tree 🙂
This is one of the most beautiful ant hills I think I’ll ever see
Holy shit that is soo freaking cool! Mother nature is amazing
Those are not just smoke,it also includes souls of thousands of ants and that's why it's too dense 💀
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.
Never knew they went that deep with so many tunnels.
I almost screamed watching this! I’m worried about you hurting your feet doing that!
Why do it barefoot?
The Dark Forest in a nutshell.
looks like an evergreen tree
this is what i call modern art
You should probably sell it to art collectors man
It looks amazing
Casted?
Hmm, if you say so...
1:27 ants can’t be gentrified
the ants, staring at their home that took 20 million ant-years to build: 💀

One day a giant collosal ant will pour molten aluminum on your house and post it on AntTube
*in your city
Keep dreaming ant... we'll always be apex predators.

LOOOOOOL
I love how this guy is barefooted and handling extremely hot metal
it's says it's for maximum protection... of his shoes, they are perfectly safe inside the house.
That is how you tell that he is a pure professional
Hey, it’s Florida. There’s your proof
shoes are expensive. he got the feet for free!
remember, is for maximum protection
Ant: Uhm, excuse me, excuse me. But uhm, I'm looking for my room? Room 32986?
Room? More like Doom 😂
Ant worker: you go straight trun left straight again about a couple of "dust" trun down and make sure take a right and then left on the junction. After you arrive, there would be room no. 566356 make sure to turn left again and go straight in about 15 intersection passed make a left turn and continue straight for about 2 tunnel. Take a U turn because there's been a collapsed happened. Lucky after taking a U turn it would be a straight line from there.
Ant: Do i need to take a right trun after the left trun?
Ant Worker: Which left?
Lol not gonna lie. I read this and fell of my chair.
That got me for some reason.
You done well.
Amazing what these ants can build without any tools and microscopic brains.
Sorry, all of the rooms are currently filled.
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced
Tf you're blabbering about whitey satanist
May the 4th be with you
I tip my hat…. Sir
No! Ant-eraan is peaceful! We have no weapons, you can't possibly...
The Ants felt 600 degrees Celsius molten metal 😂
I like how the ants just accept the situation and immediately starts building a new one. Nothing brings their mood down

Imagine you are an ant, just chilling in your ant hill home when suddenly the entire place is flooded by some sort of metallic lava.
The ants' last words were probably "isn't getting kind of warm in here"
@@puppy969 no it was helpp save the baby's!!! The Queen dying no sister!!
@Just an Chanel Likely the ants would die non vocally. Given that they can't speak. They also genocide and kidnap from other nests en mass and would likely kill and eat that "family" you mentioned given the right circumstances. Nature isn't peaceful.

"I sure do love being an invasive species, good thing there is no apocalyptic events happening soon- OH GOOD HEAVENS"
Did an ant or human say that 🤣
"This artwork is called the 'Screaming Souls of a Thousand Ants'."
Sounds like a Naruto jutsu 😅
As someone that was just stung by a bunch of fire ants this is very therapeutic
Barefeet aluminum pour, damn that’s risky😅
Still better than getting molten droplets inside your shoes.
@@dave161141 rubber boots and pants seem like a good idea here
barefoot next to a fire ant colony is the bigger risk.

Only in florida
Not only is this an amazing excavation considering the size of the ant, but stop for a second and think about how they navigate from the bottom to the open air. Nature is truly magnificent.
pheromones
Fire ants are particularly industrious in their nesting practices. Lots of cool little facts considering what a frankly awful species they are. For one, they purposely keep several hundred workers right at the top of the mound on standby, under a very loose, delicate layer of sandy soil. Slightest disturbance and a huge mob is on scene in seconds, that's how they can swarm so fast. Next interesting thing is the sheer numbers. I read somewhere that a fully mature nest can house almost half a million ants. Finally, they go DEEP. Like deep deep. Like some nests can be several feet deep. For as horribly as I and these _things_ get along, I do truly respect the way they go about things. All except for how destructive they are. They're incredibly destructive to wildlife, particularly ground nesting species of animals and birds.
Was magnificent...past tense in this case. The art work is cool though.
It is magnificent, until a human comes along and pours molten metal into it.
If there is magnificence, it cannot arise by itself. It must be the creator of this magnificence. This is the Almighty Allah, the creator of all the worlds.
Gotta wonder what that random tunnel that goes off to the side was for. Some rebellious worker ant's vanity project? A Shawshank Redemption style escape attempt by Ant-y Dufresne?
Ants have a so called garbage dump sometimes away from the colony
Or that was their escape route and they collapsed it in behind them so the molten lava wouldn't follow and kill the survivors. Little Timmy, Jimbob the 2nd, and molly the warrior survived to start a new colony 5 feet over.
Yeah they decided it might be a good idea to build an escape route just in case some butthole pours molten liquid into their colony.
@@AshU-ug2fyno queen🤨
Could have also a path for them to move and start making a new colony
It's actually quite fascinating how ants can create such architectures with just holes, deep, somehow complex, yet primitive.
They have free healthcare. Ain't primitive at all. 😂

0:05 this guy has the biggest balls of existance if he is really doing this barefoot in front of a huge colony of fire ants
He's not very literate, so probably hasn't ever read a safety manual.
Who needs OSHA anyway 😂
Would be interesting to see the nests of different species of colonies side by side to see how their architectures differ!
The ants could navigate that structure underground with no light. Meanwhile, I struggle to find my car in a parking garage.
It's a pheromone thing... Have you tried taking a piss on your back seats?
1:13 they're pouring that molten metal barefoot!! 😟🦶🏻
Hi 👋 how are you doing?
It's basically modern art it could be sold at Sotheby's for a couple hundred thousand hahaha
Pfft I wish, It’s broken in one spot too
How much do you get for one of these pieces?
Its crazy to think about how many ants are trapped in a cavity inside those tunnels
This is sooo fucked up but I am still watching , thank you for this video! 0:49
You hear the Terminator music playing and you see one ant walkout 😎
My man out here walking barefoot right next to a massive fire ant colony whilst filling said colony up with liquid metal.
And of course he is from Florida.
Edit; Spelling
That’s as Florida Man as Florida Man can get.
Don't forget while filming the shit. There is one where he is the dark, talking about he can't see while carrying the hot metal.
You have achieved pro level in such a short time! This is great, and your editing is also first rate. Keep going, dead fire ants are a blessing.

@@FloridaFoxAnthillArt Well, let's be real, here. On the one hand, ants are amazing creatures on many levels. BUT, these are RIFAs we're talking about here which are an invasive and highly destructive species. I love ants, truly do, but these little fuckers are just different. First time I got hit by them I was truly shocked by how rapidly they swarmed my feet, and once I had a chance to think about it many many many hours after the insane burning of so many stings started to wear off, I thought, "These things wanted to eat me alive." After that sank in, I didn't care so much about their little lives. I don't go out of my way to wipe them from the Earth, but I can't in good conscience lobby to protect them from harm either. If I can't get bent about killing mosquitos or yellowjackets, then I sure can't get too upset about dead RIFAs. Just think about all the ground nesting bird chicks they've eaten and that should put anyone's mind a little more at ease.
No intro? Just straight to what we actually came to see? Subscribe.
2:18 You just created a visual of an ant colony!
As a NW Floridian, it brings me great joy to see fire ants given this treatment. Sic semper solenopsis.
Hahaha
I'd genuinely buy that just to hang up in my house as a beautiful art peace.
This isn’t something you’d hang unless turned into a very heavy chandelier or something.
Keep it in a corner instead, you cant possibly hang a nest
Trim a little off the top so its flat and turn it into a glass table

Millions? Try billions fire ants are so prolific it's crazy... Which makes them such a problem.
“Bare foot for maximum protection”. Got me in stitches! 😂

What happens to the ants? I know they are not a good thing to have in your yard due to bites and attacks, but are they fried and disappear or are they visible in the surface? Just wondering. Have you ever created one with termite mounds?
The ants are incinerated almost instantly.
@@senatorarmstrong8960 That's nice to know that they did not suffer, yes I said suffer. These ants are truly pests that decimate land and animals, plus the are hard to remove. This artistic creation let's us see first hand the beauty of the colony, and remove the pestilence at the same time. I just didn't want them to suffer. I know, crazy lady, but it's who I am.
@@donnadamelio5890 Ants are incapable of feeling pain as you or I know it. Their brains are just not developed enough to comprehend pain.
@@donnadamelio5890 They are Fire Ants. 99.999% of the people don't give a crap if they suffer. Have you ever been bitten by a few dozen fire ants at once???
They are still apart of nature and amazing architects.

Triggered commenters make me laugh. Glad that we both laugh at things!
@@anderssanderson4073 For reals
Well atleast they were invasive.
@@Naravayaxyeah they just harmed their local environment
Glad you clarified that you did this to an invasive species and not regular ants👍
Ant Lives Matter!
That’s amazing. After Eminent Domaine was applied and the ants relocated to a new neighborhood, the casting began. No ants were harmed in this video.
@Javier Jimenez - well, a new realm, anyway. Think: steam.
@@wickedcabinboy ROFL, a new phase. I was thinking at first "Yeah lol 'relocated' as CO2" but I'm not sure it gets hot enough for that.
Imagine going to work, and then you see liquid metal pouring from above
2 things you get out of this
1. An amazing art piece
2. Committing a mass genocide on ants that have spent months building their fortress
Shouldn’t engineers look at nature? I bet you can make a strong structure with some chaotic supports such as this
They already do

Now imagine a much advance species cast some stasis technology to earth and harvest us as an art to their collection
That happened in one of my dreams.

Imagine yourself working when suddenly a ton of lava was poured into you...
People arguing about the ants’ life and I’m just mulling over one thing:
Bro was standing next to molten aluminium BAREFOOT?
What a lovely idea!
2:40 looks like snow tree
"Ants have already started to recover." Uh, how the hell did they do that? You can see the molten aluminum went just about everywhere... those must be some resilient ants!
They must have escaped due to the smoke probably, before all of the aluminum managed to cover the colony.
I love this kind of art work, so amazing...someday love to see one made of brass, heavy I know but it would be cool
I wouldn’t be surprised if if aliens did this to us for likes and views on their space tube channel 😂
as sad as this may seem, ants can’t feel pain and these ants as stated in the video are harmful to people , other ants and the environment
He needs to remove the Slag from his crucible before he pours.
i was wondering about that. but it appears not to get into the pour
Several fire ants were harmed in the production of this video.
😂
Bare feet and molten metal. What could go wrong?
Damn that actually looks really neat. But I couldn’t help it notice you weren’t wearing shoes not only around a fire ant hill but also while handling molten metal. Prolly not a smart move 😂
“Oh it’s so inhumane.” Nah what’s inhumane is how these damn ants think they can just live on my property without payin’ rent, freeloadin’ lil bastards
Pouring liquid hot metal, with no shoes on, is about as Florida as it Gets XD
Absolutely grand. Just superb.
Damn feet for free!!😩😩😩
You already knowww!
Fire ant version of Pompeii lol
Some day some alien is gonna do that to us. A massive molten human colony from our earth. Gonna be so pretty.
Very soon I’ll be watching from the 🚊
Yeah. It was called Pompeii.
I've done aluminum casting before. Would recommend tossing some powdered flux on top, then stirring briefly and scraping off the slag from the top before pouring, for much better flow and finish.
Nice, but don't agree with pouring molten metal barefoot.
Man this guy killed millions for this peace of art ... wow wtf
Millions of INVASIVE ants. So its ok
The survivor ants are gonna tell their grandchildren about this event one day. Probably get a movie too.
Does this look like any ant had survived?
Those ants are really fire ants now
Army ants encounter super-weapon.

Why is he pouring boiling metal without any protect- ah wait he's from Florida
Fascinating! I read a newspaper piece about this art when I was 10 or 11. Just as fascinating now when I'm 70!
Kinda like a super cool Christmas tree sculpture
Considering how invasive and agressive the fire ants are, he is doing a Pest Control service while doing art
Humans are about as invasive and aggressive, I still hope nobody pours an ocean of molten metal on my city.
