Yeah, but my metabolic processes sometimes do have an effect many kilometers away.

It's like with ants, they can carry things many times their size, but if ant was the size of an elephant and made with the same materials, it couldn't even support itself.

You mean like ordering pizza to be delivered?


Winning!


It’s analogous of trying to simulate oceanic phenomena in a bathtub. Like when they have miniature movie scenes shot in a pool and they simulate waves and water gushing, it just doesn’t scale well. In other words a 2 inch wave doesn’t break the same way a 20 foot wave does.


2 inch: ~5cm 20 foot: ~6m

No they don't and I have never heard of you.

Ants are not elephantine.
