READ!!!
The marines have flamethrowers and fuel to last 900 octillion years, after that its handguns and boots.
The fight takes place on an infinite flat field, obviously not in this universe so no black holes and shit. The marines start in 1 group and the ants come from all directions (by foot) untill 1 team is 100% dead.
No death by hunger, dehydration, old age or disease but the marines still need sleep. No reproduction either.
Which team would win and why?
You suck
This is ridiculous..
This is retarded
If it's a hypothetical, why not make it like 10 marines, 1 year, 5000000 ants or something usable?
You are retarded for thinking this could possibly be a conversation because Graham's number can't even be calculated so how could we have meaningful scenarios out of it
Death by overheating. Death by asphyxiation. Ants probably win.
no one cares
Ants easy. Grahams number is so ridiculously big.
/thread
We don't even know which ants are used in this stupid ass scenario. Another serious flaw.
Underrated post
the reason i make the thread is to get people to look this shit up, i know ants would win no matter how you look at it.
Ants. Graham's number makes googleplex 1. So think 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 ants vs 1 marine. Dude will drown in ants. lololololololol
Got a better one
Those aren't even US Marines in the picture SMH. Those are US Army Soldiers. Marines wear MARPAT and Soldiers wear UCP or OCP.
how does one win the battle? the sun isnt even alive.
you are like the 30th person to tell me this, fix the picture and post it here and i will use it, or are you just like the rest and just like to whine about things?
very autistic thread. all you need to do is fine the queen and kill it, the rest die no matter the number.
there, end of.
1, there is no queen
2, how do the ants die exactly?
Lmfao.
New topic
Thus, the Lions win by default
wtf is a back penis?
OP wins but dies by the cock so you work it out.
Therefore it CANT DIE obviously lions lose big time
If OP is surrounded by Black cocks, he's already won
Stars are born and they die out if they born and they gotta die how the fuck the sun not gonna be alive? Think before you post dumfuck
that wasnt stated in the OP. you cant just make shit up to cover your own shitty holes.
without queen ants cant exist. dont start making shit up now faggot.
Bruh this ain't sum vampire shit ants don't die instantly when they mom died. Also think about this motherfuck, with a literally SEA of ants the Marines gonna drown.
I think this question is much more interesting.
They are platoons of 25 with their own weapons. The Elites do not get active camo and the setting is the burj khalifa.
Forgot the pic.
Ants. If you took all available space in the known universe and filled it with electrons the number of electrons wouldn't even approach Graham's number. Anyone that says marines just doesn't get how big that number is. There would be more than a googolplex of ants per atom of every marine.
In real terms the resulting black hole of the ant mass would destroy everything.
so would the ants, but since they're magical ants who don't need a nest or to eat, they might as well be indestructible too
an ant colony dies within a few days of losing the queen and lose all sense of coordination pretty much immediatly. the marines have 900 quintillion years to survive. it will be fine.
If you take an ant to the other side of the planet it'll still bite you retard. They're not robots.
Just one question for you, have you ever tried breathing ants?
and magical humans that don't need to sleep/eat/shit they might as well be indestructible too :^)
Lions lose because they can't do shit to the sun. They get within 100 miles and are turned to ash instantly.
Well if he has 900 octillion years worth of flamethrowers it's it's safe to assume he's intending on using. Humans are faster than ants if I'm not mistaking so if he just keeps walking backwards and blasting that shit he could win since the it's an infinite flat land.
They start at opposing sides so this isn't so improbable.
ive been breeding ants for years
I'm no mathematician but the average lion weighs 420 pounds. 420 x 1 trillion = 420,000,000,000.
That's a goddamn lot of weight hitting the sun.
We would be the real losers.
Ants would reproduce at a faster rate than the marines killing the ant
Checked, but the sun is enormous, also would disintegrate all the lions
Ants come from all directions
Do you...even comprehend what grahams number is friend?
Graham's number is Graham's number because it *has* been defined.
Our puny human brains need not be able to comprehend it or write it out; it's a fixed, exact quantity.
newfag, at least use the phrase properly.
Irrelevant. Universe collapses into a single point of incomprehensibly more substance than the universe pre-big bang. Ants and marines alike are completely destroyed.
Then yer fuckin dun kiddo
I would have to say ant's. Because grahams number is explicitly fucking huge and incalculable at this point in time.
I was just using common sense rather than a full scientific evaluation. I just know it would be a lot of goddamn weight.
Depends on the species faggot. Some don't even have a queen, others have multiple.
the ant in OP is an obvious red ant/army ant. cleary it has a queen. learn ur ants faggot.
>infinite plane
Even with Graham's number taken into consideration, the fact that the field is infinitely big means that the marines may never see even a single ant. And given the infinite amount of the the marines would eventually die off from accidents with weapons, suicide, fights, whatever.
Ants win every time.

Fucking nig dicks, trips save me!
Red ant/army ant.. yea, they are the same you idiot. It is clearly just a generic ant pic like it is also a generic US soldier pic. The soldiers in the pic are not marines
it depends on which force has access to dank memes
The universe literally isn't large enough for that amount of ants.
As for the marines, the earth isn't big enough for that amount of people, most of them would have to be in space, where they would form a planet sized ball of humans, of which most die of overheating, anyway you get the picture
Half the marines form a perimeter around the half that sleeps. Walking in line sweeping flames for 900 octillion years. Then, the ants eat them when the fuel is gone.
>universe pre-big bang
Do you even physics?
Nice trips, but 190,508,795,400 kg (Converted to Metric you fucking savage) vs 1.98900 × 10^30 kg. No contest
Going off that, let's assume for a moment the lions are travelling the speed of our fastest spacecraft ever Juno probe, travelling at approximately 40 km a second, since force=mass*acceleration we can conclude that the lions would impact our sun (assuming they are grouped together) with a force equal to approximately 7620351815999999 Newtons.
Laughing at the dumbasses who don't realize how ridiculously big Graham's number is
ikr
about 40% of people dont read the rules
another 55% dont understand the numbers
the 4% has a remote idea about it but underestimates it vastly
1% actually understand it might aswell be infinite ants.
Autistic topic, but everyone ignoring
>The fight takes place on an infinite flat field, obviously not in this universe so no black holes and shit.
people seem to love trying to go around the rules in any way they can instead of actually answering the question or to make it not a battle.
The roman silver back gorilla army
How is that better? There's literally not a thing a lion could do to Sol, let alone get anywhere near it. They lose by default.
The ants would win this easily.
Ants are capable of forming great structures to fit their needs, be it barriers, bridges, floating rafts, or struts.
They are known to sacrifice themselves for the good of the colony and contribute towards the advancement of their sisters.
A perimeter of flamethrowers that lasts 900 octillion years is a candle when approched by a seething mass of chitin, venom, jaws, and formic acid.
Once the perimeter is effortlessly breached, the marines flames will ultimate be aimed at themselves, reducing any effectiveness at self-preservation unto the negatives.
The marine's only chance is a steel bunker and a vial of cordyceps.
As long as the Marines were disciplined it would probably be a never-ending stalemate tbh fam.
Sun, because while a lot of mass hitting the sun can snuff it out, a trillion lions isn't enough
no vials of cordydeps for you (No death by hunger, dehydration, old age or disease),besides its a battle.
But lets ignore that for a moment and give them the bunker and the vial, the disease doesnt spread very fast and the marines still need to breath. Given the time it would take for ALL the ants to die, the marines would manage to blow themselves up or just straight up suicide out of boredom.
How many years do you think you could stomp ants for before killing yourself?
1000? i think thats a quite big amount of time there, but its NOTHING compared to the time it would take.
The lifespan of an ant is the same whether there's 5 of them of 5 zillion, assuming they aren't queens (which live for decades in some cases), it would be over very soon.
the lifespan of an ant is irrelevant, read the fucking rules before posting.
Was responding to an user who suggested to ignore the rules for a incepted hypothetical scenario.
Speaking of the rules, I believe the species of ant should be clarified.
There's a difference between scrawny, pale sugar ants and army ants.
Bullet, lockjaw, leafcutter, gease, honeypot?
Thinking about that serious, ants would win. Why?
1) you can't just put marines in one place, because one would fire a flamethrower in the back of the other, therefore they need to create a circle
2) circle that has a circumference of googolplex and every marine shoots a stream of napalm that's a cone of, let's say 20 degrees, would be a barrier that would be impenetrable (or so it would seem)
3) however the amount of ants is so huge (it'd be easier to say that there is an infinite legion of ants) that even if they attacked the marines in one dimension (1 layer on the ground), their "corpses" would form a wall/mountain after some time (depends how you look at it)
4) therefore after some definite amount of time, considering that ants corpses would stockpile (temperature of napalm is not as high as plasma, so it doesn't reduce everything to an ash, at least not in an almost indefinite short amount of time), marines would end up facing an uphill of ants corpses and they would start going from up above
5) at some point in time marines would have to shoot at 90 degrees (straight up) to kill the ants and unless they are fireproof (let's say they are, because fuck logic), they would run out of oxygen and suffocate, and if they didn't (stopped pouring lava on insects) they would lose, overrun by them
So there it is. No joke, no punchline, pretty straightforward explanation. Because this is Sup Forums and rules don't apply. Also: the game
the species of the ants is highly irrelevant, you could replace them with dust mites and marines would still lose.
Nobody wins. The instant exothernic heat of the universe and mass would cause another Big Bang
>Pro tip. A googol is a number bigger than the sum of all the sub-atomic particles in the universe. Yet alone a googolplex
It depends on how closely together the ants are packed. If they're close enough, the fire can spread between all of the ants and burn them all, meaning they just have to step on any that get too close.
Underrated post
A Google of flamethrowers going off at the same time would create more radiant heat than all of the energy in our current universe combined by long shot. Instant death to marines.
