Where is the moth poster when we need him
I took my friends to go see trees full of fireflies while camping and doing mushrooms, mind blowing.
That’s how forests fires get started. That and DEI.
Don’t forget the (((space lasers)))
My house is like this but with mosquitoes instead of fires
I had an experience like this camping out in the foothills of the Catskills. One of my favorite camping trips.
I got a million hugs from 10,000 lightning bugs!
I only got 30k :(
I’ve always wondered if the hugs were distributed evenly or if there was a hugs georg firefly and the rest were normal ones
I have a lot in my backyard, it’s a treat to see at night. I have been searching online on what plants they like so I could build a firefly refuge and encourage their breeding but I can’t find any info.
maybe this link will help?

Sat with a couple friends, heavily under the influence of mushrooms, and watched fireflies across a newly planted tree farm field.
I’m pretty sure the three of us each took our own universal truth from that night but in that moment I was pretty sure I witnessed the fireflies riding some sort of universal wave, like gravity and they would jump from wave to wave when they blinked.
Anyways. I miss being young.
Or shrooms. Maybe I just miss those…
Ha I had a similar experience, mushrooms are great.
Shrooms are great, even before the studies came out saying they could treat depression etc for years after taking I knew.
One good day on shrooms and 6 months of better life after
Ngl this looks like the minecraft twilight forest barrier
What the fuck is a twilight forest barrier!
I swear to god one day I’ll log into my minecraft world and won’t recognize anything
nice texture pack though, been like a decade since I saw Sphax
It’s a mod
I can smell this picture.
Do the bugs have a scent? I’ve never lived in an area with them.
When we were kids we’d catch them in jars sometimes and if you smelled the jar after it def had a scent. If the population is dense enough you can just smell it in the air.
None that I’ve noticed
Was just having this conversation last night with a friend as we were remarking to each other how mesmerizing dusk is with the summer fireflies.
When he said they didn’t exist out West where he grew up I was surprised.
Thought all along fireflies at dusk was one of the more enchanting parts of summer.
During COVID when nobody able to spray for mosquitoes there was a really cool resurgence - even in the suburbs. Came home from a bicycle ride late one evening, and swear every tree had Christmas lights strung up, they were chilling out and just glimmering in every branch.
I pushed the bike home that night and watched the show in the trees, a lovely coda to the day
Never seen fire flies in real life I’ve always had to make do with embers from a fire
I remember when Florida had them in large number, not like that but still maybe one every 10 feet or so on the heaviest night I’ve seen. It was pretty. Now I get excited if I see any at all. If I see 3 in the same night I am ecstatic.
Pretty sure that line is a reference to this. One of my fave songs :)
Thanks, me and all the old people thought it was The Doors. https://youtu.be/7G2-FPlvY58
I don’t know why this song makes me cry every time I hear it. Something about it gets me right in the soul. Also I didn’t know the artist or song name so thanks for the link, that is a beautiful video; I haven’t seen it before and after a bit of an emotionally taxing day I got a happy cry and I feel a lot lighter inside
💚 Thank you for brightening this stranger’s day
Aww I’m super glad to hear it improved your day, and you’ll be able to find it again in the future!
I get the same reaction to it, I think it’s the use of flat melancholic notes scattered throughout, such as in the refrain “I’d like to make myself believe, that planet earth turns slowly”. For me anyway. I love that sort of upbeat but sorrowful sort of thing. It gives me intense frisson (aka aesthetic shiver, aka that chill down your spine when something hits just right).
The sound of silence covered by Pentatonix also gives me mad frisson every time I hear it. And for the same reason I think.
It is definitely a reference and I don’t know why you got downvoted for that lol.
I don’t think that a single downvote is worth paying attention to.
Someone just jelly of my amazing taste in nearly-20-year-old music, probably 😊
maybe because anyone who has played Need For Speed instantly thinks of this song instead.
Someone might have thought it was so obvious that it didn’t need stating and would just ruin the joke. Alternatively, someone who was somehow unaware of the song and assumed that would be the case for nearly everyone else might have overconfidently decided it was a stretch without looking at the first line of the song.
