The world is a really interesting place. I would have never guessed that there are people out there that shave ants.

It's probably just the one guy. He probably only spent a total of 100 hours doing it so he's not even an expert.

He's probably the world's subject-matter expert on shaving ants.

No, you need 10,000 hours of experience to be an expert. He's just an ant-shaving hobbyist at best.

We've finally gotten to gatekeeping shaving ants 💪💪

A hobbyist in a field no-one else has explored is a leading expert.

It's a joke, you ant-shaver.

The average person has shaved one ant, but only because Dr. Ant-Shaver Willot has shaved 7 Billion ants and therefore he should be dismissed as a statistical outlier.

"average person shaves 3 ants per year" factoid actualy just statistical error, average person shaves 0 ants per year. Ants Georg, who lives in cave & shaves 10,000 per day is an outlier adn should not have been counted

I think I did pretty well reciting it from memory and swapping out the details.
