Only a few insects are known to have the ability to hear of which cicadas are included. However, from Brittanica:

Cicadas are noted for the intensity of sound produced by some species and for the elaborate development of the ears, which are located on the first segment of the abdomen.

Please adjust your torture method accordingly and continue...

Used to work retail so I feel this. Crazy thing is that sometimes it only takes one or two customers (and their gremlin children) to cause this kind of chaos. I'd go into fitting rooms and shit would be thrown all over the floors. Every now and then there would be extra surprises...like food or drink containers, or used diapers, or urine in the wastebasket. Fun times.

I'm upvoting all of the comments in here so each and every one if you gets that little validation hit. It'll be like pouring sugar over an ants nest.

Someone upvote me back so I can get my validation hit too.

I will take ghosts and demonic possession over 25% rent increases and shit landlords and shit upstairs/downstairs neighbors.

I really hate the term "vacation days." I'm not going to Disneyland everytime I'm out of the office. Most of the time its stuff like having the HVAC technician over during their 4-hour service call window; taking my family member to have surgery; recovering from the flu/covid; taking a mental health day or catch-up day for weekday-only errands.

This might be where some of the missing 34% are not agreeing for more days. The label is part of the problem. Hell I want more vacation days so that I CAN squeeze an actual vacation in there.

Wait, so does conception start at the mission briefing? Or the general's speech? Asking to inform my local politician.

Oof thats really bad. Was there at least pizza?

Fucks sake OP, mark it NSFSW.

I've never heard of this witchcraft. This is exactly what I need.

Edit: heard not beard

Along with trying to add contributive posts here and there, I'm also trying to be more mindful about upvoting. I think most us like to see appreciation and acknowledgement of our post efforts, so a little upvote goes a long way towards encouraging content creation.

Not sure what flavor you're looking for but here's some of the ones I enjoyed:

• Pan's Labyrinth - fairy tale horror
• Gretel & Hansel -fairy tale horror
• Babadook - dramatic horror
• Mothman Prophecies - dramatic horror
• Hereditary - dramatic horror
• The Descent - adventure/action horror
• Jeepers Creepers - adventure/action horror
• The Mist - adventure/action horror
• The Crazies - adventure/action horror
• 10 Cloverfield Lane - adventure/action horror
• This is the End - comedy horror
• Shaun of the Dead - comedy horror
• Zombieland - comedy horror.

On my Halloween movie list this year I'm planning on watching

• Little Otik (fairy tale horror with stop motion & live action - looks artsy)
• Lamb (supernatural horror)
• Tigers are not Afraid (supposed to be similar to Pan's Labyrinth)
• Midnight Meat Train (Clive Barker horror- one of Bradley cooper's earlier movies)

Saw some other good ones already posted here - Event Horizon, Midsommar - so I think you'll get a good list.

Yeah he's going to exploit the shit out of that mugshot. Bet it'll be on the cover of his newest memoir. Do they let people smile in their mugshots nowadays? I'm seriously hoping they don't at Fulton.

If I had to watch that and then be expected to work the same day/week - everyone's order is going to fucked up.

During the cold season, I will give all metal door knobs and door handles a little whack first with my hand before grabbing. I hate the static shock that may or may not be waiting and the whack absorbs it in a way I can anticipate it.

I thought this would be more common but I don't really see anyone else doing it.

People in Hawaii are deadly serious about their Spam. It is a high-theft item so places like Walmart typically lock them up.

I'm not a big fan of clickbait titles on Lemmy. OP since you read the article, you'd be doing the community a favor by changing the title or adding a summary for some quality discourse.

Ok, but how would you know it was a prank? If you have someone who has suddenly entered into your personal space exhibiting erratic but persistent confrontational behavior, I think there's some justification towards reacting with violence. I dont think most of us are conditioned or trained to react to threatening behavior in the most effective way, like cops and military are. So that means flight, freeze, or fight. You don't have the benefit of knowing it was a prank, you just have a situation rapidly unfolding in front of you. Unfortunately in this situation Colie was armed, and responded with that measure. I think most of people would be ok if the response was just a phsyical fight without a gun, but then again how many people have the capability to "win" that way?

Inclement weather. Any kind really but the bigger, the better. Snow flurries, a really big thunderstorm, howling wind - I turn 5 years old again every time. Just overcome with excitement and fear and awe.

Yeah I've discovered the non bike-friendly stores and venues in my area recently since getting an ebike in an attempt to be more eco-friendly. I absolutely hate it and I'll just go to another store - I'm not locking my bike a block away. Tangential rage: bike paths or sidewalks that abruptly end, pushing me out onto a 45mph road in order to continue on my way. Shitty businesses and garbage city planning to blame.

It's too bad this data only runs up to 2018. The current/post pandemic era I think has made us all somewhat different consumers of film nowadays. Still cool to see though what we trending towards.
