I thought the title meant you are stoned. BTW adult cicadas do not eat leaves. They suck sap.

You should be trying to start a dialogue with the Cicadas. Your new overlords will no doubt need a Cicada-human liaison to effectively communicate their commands, round up slaves, arrange work details, rat out resistance movements, etc…

It would be a relatively cushy job for a human under the new Brood V government. Might even be extra bean rations in it for ya…

There was this one summer that the Cicadas were SUPER loud in PA when I spend the summer there.

I mean, I wanted to scream “SHUT THE FUCK UP” loud and I was kinda young. If it was 34 years ago, then I was 13. I thought it was earlier because I didn’t think I spent much time with my dad that summer, but maybe it was 34 years ago.

Is it possible there’s a NY/NJ/Eastern PA grouping that’s on a different cycle?

Also, if you watch Silicon Valley, the show on HBO, they had a thing about Cicada bugs in Season 2.

Btw, as someone who worked for a dot.com, even though I was in SoCal…holy shit. That show…I binge watched all three seasons over two nights and I totally get why so many in Tech watch it and DON’T laugh…they just nod…

I highly recommend it.

Who would have thought so many good ideas would vector from cicadas?
