Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

"huge flood of cicadas"? when and where was that?

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 48 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (20 children)

Many parts of the eastern US had the Brood X cicada emerge in 2021.

It is a LOUD and constant droning that you get used to and then forget all about a year later.

This year's supposed to be even worse I hear

Depending on where you are, yeah there are two broods emerging at the same time this year. Not on the east coast though.

I've heard this every year of my life, and you're likely right statistically speaking.
