Tell Me What You Know

If you are in a mid-atlantic state right now, you might be hearing a loud hum outside equivalent to a lawn mower or a motorcycle. But your idiot neighbor never mows despite repeated requests from the HOA and you finished Sons of Anarchy in the beginning of the pandemic. No, what you’re hearing is the sound of the periodical cicadas, magicicadas if we’re being specific.

These harmless but annoying insects emerge from the soil every 13 or 17 years to feed, mate, and party for 4-6 weeks before the next generation of eggs falls from the trees and boroughs in for the long nap until it’s their turn to move out of the house and get a job 17 years later.

We won’t see this brood of cicadas till 2038 so you better learn as much as you can quickly before they all die and you can forget it all and go back to living your life. That’s future you’s problem to ask what these things have to do with prime numbers. And don’t you worry. We’ll still be here to tell you, cause this is Tell Me What You Know.
