Ants use pheromones to follow trails. If a trail loops, they get locked running in a circle and die from exhaustion. This is called an ant mill.
I think I worked at this place for a few years.

Poor ants, piling their friends up in the middle, then going back to the job of running round in circles. +1 :(

Despite all my rage, I am still just an ant in a mill

I sometimes wonder how difficult it would be to write software that simulated the behavior of an ant.

Some of y'all never played SimAnt as a 90s kid and it shows.
d0o0o0d
Sure did. Was stupidly easy, all you really had to do was spam queens.

SIMAnt.

Depends on the degree of simulation.

Well, sure, but it seems really likely that you wouldn't need a supercomputer to run that code in realtime.
IrrationalNumber
Well you would if you wanted to simulate every interaction in the ants body. Just the brain even.
