Comment on Shirley, you can't be serious

Another comment mentioned it, but the DNA is 99.9-100% in common. Ants have haplodiploidy, so the females and males aren’t just male/female versions of the same DNA.
Also, if a queen dies, her own worker larva are raised into new queens. So the meme is just silly overall.
