    Could be worse. Could be the guy filling them with copper or whatever molten metal it was on YT.

      I would probably prefer getting almost instantly fried by molten hot metal than slowly suffucate in liquid cement

        I think I remember that setting concrete has an exothermic reaction going on so you could be cooked as you suffocate.

        I suspect the amount of the nest that gets affected is larger. (Technically, IIRC theyre mostly there to exterminate the ants, it’s just becoming art in the process.!

      Probably a different instance to the one you’re thinking, but I have not forgotten that TechRax video of him pouring molten aluminum onto live hissing cockroaches. I don’t even know why he added the cockroaches, the subject of the video was the iPhone 6 vs molten aluminum.
