They are back! It's a Cicadafest!
First time since 1803 that the 2 broods have come together.

It's a cicadapocalypse!

They're here in Ky, started coming out of the ground today!

I feel like Cliff Claven with these new AI chats.


Positive Effects:
  • Nutrient Boom: Cicada carcasses decompose rapidly, providing a massive influx of nutrients (particularly nitrogen) into the soil. This benefits trees and other plants in the area.
  • Food Bonanza: Cicadas are a feast for many animals. Birds, mammals, fish, reptiles, and even other insects gorge themselves, leading to population increases for some predators.
  • Soil Aeration: As cicadas emerge from underground, their tunnels help aerate the soil and promote better water flow.
Negative Effects:
  • Potential for Plant Damage: Young trees and saplings can be damaged by the sheer weight of numerous cicadas or excessive egg-laying by females. This is usually a temporary setback, particularly for older, established trees.
  • Noise Pollution: The collective mating calls of millions of cicadas can be incredibly loud, exceeding 100 decibels. This can be stressful for humans and some wildlife.
Overall Impact:
Broadly speaking, the ecological impact of a cicada emergence is considered to be largely positive. While some temporary downsides exist, they're outweighed by the long-term benefits to the ecosystem. Here's why:
  • Resilience: Established trees generally recover quickly from minor cicada damage.
  • Predator Balance: Cicadas provide a temporary food source, but the predator populations adjust and return to normal soon after.

I remember from my youth that mushrooms and cicadas don't really go together.

So this is like when Clay and Billay etc emerge from the Billay's Booty Call/Bungalow thread and invade the lounge.

At the old job we were taught how important it was to be your work self at work and home self at home. You could not have these two cross over. If necessary, at work pretend to be a character that you play while you're on the clock.

I doubt I pulled it off all that well but I tried to be a combination of Cliff and Norm. A touch depressed with a healthy loathing for my wife while having the occasional useless but completely true inappropriate factoid.

In the 1950s, there was a well-known Brazilian Carnival dancer that went by the name of Ita Cicada.
