Why are you assuming they did this purely for the ants' sake?

Maybe it was just a curiosity, or maybe they just have too much time on their hands, or maybe they wanted to prevent the bunker colony from getting any larger as it could attract other vermin being a food source. (they mention bats in TFA)

Also, how do you know someone's vegan? They tell you.

That's a really tired joke. Do you know why you hear it so much? Have you ever considered how inundated the world is with carnist culture? Everyday vegans come across media, friends and assumptions about the normalization of eating animals. How do you know that someone is a carnist? They'll tell that dumb "how do you know someone is a vegan" joke.

I don't get that at all. Can you explain? How is it cultish to want to preserve the environment?

The desire for insects and spiders deserve to die is very far from any reasonable viewpoint with contrasting counter points. Unless you're saying that OP is a "reddit kid" I don't see the problem with an irrational idea like this getting downvoted

My wife homeschool's our daughter (which I add to the context for that it shows she wouldn't have already been exposed to Comic Sans from public school) and one day my wife decided to switch some of the worksheets she created for our daughter to use Comic Sans. Our daughter was really excited about the change and said that now they're "more fun and easier to read, it seems more like a kid made this".

I thought that the map in the Fast Company article were cropped, but the map from the original study seems to lack Hawai'i and Alaska, as well as Puerto Rico, American Somoa, Guam... and where else am I missing?

> need to read "between the lines" of misleading representations of properties.

I've never had a problem with this, but I also don't bother staying anywhere that doesn't have a 4-star or better average. If you just set your filter at >= 4 stars, then these problems go away, and we also comb through the reviews of our top picks to make sure there's nothing unexpected. Consequently, we've had nothing but good experiences.

What you described sounds exactly like "reading between the lines"
