Cicada invasion of 2021 - A neverending simphony

[Super-Chevy454]

I'm already seeing "Just eat the cicadas, bigot" articles popping up.

And yet, I won't be surprised if they don't practice what they preach.

The media is WAAAYYY ahead of you. this is from the 11th of May

Wired wants you to eat cicadas

And apparently they are not the only outlet to say that. Probably want to distract from shortages or the real invasion on the border

In my social media feeds in the past few weeks, I've seen at least a dozen random articles from NBC, CNN, Newsweek, and other pozzed leftoid news sites pushing me to eat bugs.

Yeah, I KNOW what cicadas sound like (I live in Texas), it's more of a hissing sound you can kind of replicate by clenching your teeth, blowing air through them, and moving your lips from a grimace to a circle and back again.

On the other hand, some cicadas can get really loud and it's not at all charming. (This must be that "Brood X" they refer to).

Japanese cicadas I recognize from video games and anime but have never heard in real life.

Ended up in Japan on a cicada year. It was deafeningly loud. You had to yell to be heard over those little fuckers. You'd also find trees covered in shed skins. Creepy as hell.

Thrilled I don't live somewhere with a cicada invasion. We just have aggressive homeless people. Same thing really.

Don't get the periodical cicadas where I live, just the summer ones that cry mostly at sunset. My siblings told me the sound I heard was coming from power lines and I believed them because I was a stupid kid.

 

[Vlinny-kun]

I was scared of them for a long time because as a child I caught one and it poked me with it's mouth-straw thing and it stung. I since equated them to wasps until high school.

Eh, I'd rather have cicadas. They don't hang out at street corners and attempt to wash your windshield, they don't block sidewalks, they don't cost the taxpayers much, and you never hear news about cicadas dumping their collected diarrhea on random women.

You can also kill cicadas en masse by squishing them or applying lawn chemicals. Killing homeless people is still frowned upon.

I mean given the opportunity I'd probably try them? They're probably tastier than whatever that processed cricket-protein soy-powder sludge that shitlib journos are pushing as the "future of food" is..

Maybe I'm just a food daredevil though. I've eaten just about every kind of raw seafood dish you can think of, cow brain, jellyfish, fried tarantula, chocolate covered ants... Yeah, Im probably just the kind of crazy person who's willing to try any weird thing at least once. Don't think I'd go out of my way to eat cicadas unless someone said they actually knew how to cook them or had a recipe or something though.

Anyway, aside from that... cicadas are pretty cool. At worst they're just kind of annoyingly loud I guess. But they're pretty much harmless. I might be a bit far north of them though, I don't see any yet.

I feel this. I've always wanted to try eating bugs just out of curiosity. I hate that it has been spun into some weird political thing. Now I don't talk about my interest in cooking bugs out of fear of being mistaken as a soiboi.

That seems to be a trend among any sort of odd or out of the ordinary interest or community lately.

 

[Return of the Freaker]

Ah finally

And I'll give you the superior aminu cicada

 

[Male Idiot]

Aaaw these things are cute.

 

[General Tug Boat]

Every summer evening I always would hear these things screeching in the background at night. Just a mildly annoying bug and nothing to really be afraid of. These things usually start coming out around fishfly season anyways.

Is this MSMs 2021 version of murder hornets?

 

[Agent Abe Caprine]

This is what they sound like.

Thankfully, this avant-garde simphony isn't 24/7.

No, it was big news last time they emerged too.
