Scientists revive old Bulgarian recipe to make yogurt with ants. Ants carry lactic and acetic acid bacteria that help coagulate milk, as well as formic acid to acidify it. They even partnered with Danish chefs to create three recipes using ant yogurt. arstechnica.com/science/2025...

You know that feeling of deflation when you've been fantasizing about winning the lottery and you come back to reality where the odds are near zero? It's been like that for me for days
