American moved to Louisiana and now he can’t sleep at night
For those that are considering moving, Louisiana has vast wetlands and swamps which leads to a massive frog population
It’s insane how loud this is
During certain parts of the year, the frogs can be so loud it’s completely shocking for someone who didn’t know about this happening
They’re loudest in spring through fall
Male frogs call loudly at night to attract females and defend territory. The noise can sound like a deafening chorus, screams, grunts, or trills.
- Green Treefrogs are loud “quank” or barking calls
- Gulf Coast Toads are high-pitched trills
- Pig Frogs are deep grunting “ronk” sounds
- Bird-voiced Treefrogs, Cajun Chorus Frogs, Southern Leopard Frogs, and others
Still better than Mexican music blasting everywhere in California
@WallStreetApes We moved to a farm and there is a chorus of frogs every night at our pond which is pretty close to the house. Started with peepers. We had no idea what they were and the sound seemed to surround the entire house. I love it now
Do you live in a state that has drastically changed its voting laws over the last decade or so? Any mail in voting?
No? That’s right. You do not. So you have no idea what has happened in any election in these states or any state. It’s not even partisan to say there are damn problems because there simply ARE.
It’s a lot of words to tell me that AI is a black hole that will turn this place into the worst case scenario matrix. Absolutely vile and let’s all hope it’s not right. I don’t think I can finish this book. Beyond bleak
My kids are well into adulthood. They both were like this and I still recall how stressful it was. Sometimes, you don’t have time to wait it out with them. Sometimes you have to be out with them at a time of day when they are prone to this behaviorr. Thankfully, they both are fine getting into cars today.
@allie__voss@AngulusTerrarum I always passed on coffee dates because that’s like work. Meeting for coffee every single day with colleagues -multiple coffee appts a day. No thanks. Too like career networking
@AuraBeetle It doesn’t even have to be mommy issues or neurodivergence. If you have been in enough female friend groups—it can get tiresome and simply not worth the effort. I have few female friends. Why? Because I’ve had many female friends and I don’t want many anymore.
I’m sitting here reading about how we are on the cusp of mind-melding or whatever with machines and also watching the news tell me it’s just impossible to count ballots in a timely manner.
We live in the most ridiculous times.
I'm on the East Coast. I want to get the California election results. Is it worth staying awake or is this going to to be a weeks' long event? Does anyone know?
It wasn’t necessarily how they were with me—although a few were seething which seemed a new level of derision —it was that they were arguing and actually some physical fighting amongst themselves. Just in really bad moods in more than one location. More sour than I’ve experienced before
@cultivvator@Dirtdragonmom So difficult to find inexpensive casual church dresses. I lament this all the time. Especially without poofy sleeves or ruffles.
