Saying you are a gruplinkillionaire is the same as saying you are a dollarillionaire, which makes no sense. 1/2
2/2 What it should be is a gruplink-millionaire, meaning you have millions of gruplinks.
Actually it's intentionally vague to imply the largest possible "____llionaire" number you can think of. Definitely above millionaire.

All I can see when reading this is the massive inflation that the sudden influx of sugar water will cause. It'll be like China's inflation-
Depends - if it is simply consumed, likely no issue. If it is stowed, yeah it'll drop in value.
Well he said that it's like gold to them. I imagine that it's perishable but also used as a currency, like rice in early Japan.

Frankly, the man's a fool. See that helicopter? If they can build helicopters, there's nothing stopping them from exporting them.
Drones as toys are increasingly popular, so why not reinvest your sudden massive wealth in the local economy, and have them build drones?
CliffordJohnsonMiller
Fuck it, they're small, they could work on microchips easily.
I totally agree! But I wanted to go with an example that didn't require any technology importation, something that was homegrown.

Just make the ants eat the money, then you use the ants to forge money
TheBestRussian
Yeah, how exactly do you get your hands onto that many ants? Our record was "a ventilation system-full" of fruit flies, so maybe like 1,000
sandshoesman
actually it would be pretty brilliant to pull up with a couple guys in beekeeper suits and release tons of bees or hornets and quickly 1/2
eyrieking
its not hard to rob a bank. Tellers are taught to give the money to anyone who asks. The hard part is not getting caught.
I mean yeah. It's not like I actually meant that would work well.
2/2 rob the tellers of the money they have there and make a quick get away. It would be so fast and easy
*it would bee
Heyyyyyy well played

I googled it and it's apparently 1.5 million ants per pound.
mrcalifornian
If you multiply that by the 350 pounds from the article, that's over 9000 ants

I have to imagine 480 million ants set him back at least a few bucks, and I want to know if he stole enough to make a profit.
