Poor little guy

Haha don't worry kid, there's like 5 of them left, we already won that war.

Nah, a plague of tigers would be nice. Instead they're indangered and declining

One of the things I'm going to do when I'm one of the billionaires is to have cartels release a shitload of komodo dragons in the Florida swamps. Humanity would get a much needed reality check when we're being hunted by apex predators.
- Please no, Florida has enough exotic herps causing terror already
- Look up what's going on with Pablo Escobar's cocaine hippos these days.

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

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.

- I fucking love the sound. Its the sound of summer for me. But....yeah. gonna be a lot worse this year.
- If there is a god, north america must have been cursed by them.
- This year's supposed to be even worse I hear
Don’t worry. This year two floods are coming at the same time. Will make previous years’ look like a puddle!
Every 11 years for the past 50 million years or so.

I'm pretty sure we're beginning the Year of the Wood Dragon, in 2024 at the new moon in a couple days.

The lockdowns were 2020, based on other comments the cicadas were on 2021 and the year of the tiger was 2022 so we are not reading the screenshot from last week here. Still humorous tho, albeit on the darker side. Poor little sod, resigned to the life of continuous catastrophes
- Good point! TY! And hopefully all us poor little sods have lots more good than bad times to look forward to, in this life. Cheers!!
- Like the saying goes, "better to have always thought things suck and be pleasantly surprised than get lulled and watch the wheels fall off the world when you're a geezer."

"naw I'm just kidding kid... It's the year of the dragon."

Year of the prion, sounds like it's going to show up during this kids lifetime... maybe even mine.
