Would we have Lil cities that look like models or would the ants have just killed us? Global warming wouldn't be a problem and if we got as far as we did now but were tiny things would be looking okay

Jeesh, the amount of nutrients our brains require at our current size. Actual bugs get small, and there's even some wasps and other bugs that get so small their cells start dumping nuclei and shit. To get something with human brains at that size we'd probably need to turn into weird parasitic jellies.
