People are giggling after an entomologist took the various ant emoji from iPhone, Samsung, etc... and reviewed them in a completely unscientific manner.

Posted on tumblr by curlicuecal, it quickly spread to other social media.

The first ant is Apple's, and the scientist had nothing but good things to say, giving it 11/10!

But not all ant emojis were created equal, as we soon found out.

Google and WhatsApp fare OK with 7 and 6 out of 10.

"This ant may not know quite where she is going, but she knows how she is getting there."

Words to live by.

But Samsung and Microsoft got only 2 and 3.

Ouch!

But things recovered with LG getting 7/10.

HTC garnered 8/10 for their pared down model.

Messenger got high marks—9/10—for their sturdy looking ant who "looks like she would help you move."

And Facebook came in second only to Apple with 10 out of 10 for their "elegant ant."

"This ant inspires me. I want to be like her."

Sadly, from there it just went downhill.

Emojidex garnered a sympathetic 3/10 for their broken legged ant.

"I am rooting for her."

Amy Breitsprecher/Facebook

EmojiOne produced a "not an ant" reminiscent of a Hork-Bajir* earning them a 1/10.

* shout out to the Animorphs fans!


Amy Breitsprecher/Facebook

Twitter got accused of not even trying with their 0/10 earning black splotch.

Amy Breitsprecher/Facebook

And Mozilla was so rage inducing they went into negative numbers for their termite impersonating an ant.

-10/10.

Amy Breitsprecher/Facebook

Each ant has a different style, a different life or a different story. But they're all female.

When asked why, curlicuecal explained:

Hey, delanie! 🕷🌈

People were thrilled with the antmoji interpretations.





These reviews are both hysterical but also pure and wholesome.




Have you ever found yourself so interested in ants before this little piece of wholesomeness?




Happy Friday, everyone. May you all be the Apple ant today.

Love ants or know someone who does? We don't know how this 47 inch ant plush would rate (also comes in 18", 28" & 59" lengths), but you can get yours here.

TikToker Speaks Out About Just How Difficult It Is To Get A Divorce In Mississippi—And Wow

While we're well into the 21st century, it's becoming increasingly difficult in the United States for women to execute what should be basic social rights, like getting a divorce. But states like Mississippi and most of the "Bible Belt" are making it practically impossible for people like Nurse Hadley Vlahos to fully separate from a former partner.

Though Vlahos is known on TikTok and YouTube for being a hospice nurse and wrote about end-of-life care in her New York Times bestselling book, The In-Between with How to Let Go to follow, she's now dedicating much more of her platform to documenting her three-year process of just filing for divorce, not including all that happened in the years before and in the year and a half since.

Trump's Bonkers Quip About What He'd Do If He Coached In The WNBA Just Resurfaced—And It's A Doozy

President Donald Trump is raising eyebrows again after a resurfaced clip showed him trying to bring NBA star LeBron James into the debate around transgender athletes while mocking the WNBA.

The WNBA has been at the center of controversy after Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham said she wants "to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.” She called her beliefs "common sense," stressing that "it’s really important to protect children, and that’s little girls who are also involved in that category."

Trump Hit With Reality Check After Giving Himself An 'A+' On The Economy In Delusional Interview

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed in an interview with Fox News that he should be given an "A+" for the current economy after claiming the "costs are all coming down now."

A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.
