ZK translation: be reborn an isometric drone

[Mark Kohut]

I'm not goan to look up The Mandella Effect yet but I will throw out an
answer.

Drone's deepest meaning comes out of: a steady noise. A sound that doesn't
change and simply repeats itself unmusically.
Like the sound bees make unremittingly. Like drone [bees] make who are as
mindlessly programmed as automatons. All they do
is try to fuck the queen. That's all they do. Like little robots [drones].

The female ants are the worker ants, with a group mind "intelligence" worth
admiring.
