My house is like this but with mosquitoes instead of fires
I got a million hugs from 10,000 lightning bugs!
I’ve always wondered if the hugs were distributed evenly or if there was a hugs georg firefly and the rest were normal ones
That’s a long exposure, but there really can be that many of them. I was out on a moonless night in upstate New York. An amazing number of stars was visible (I could even see the Milky Way), I was surrounded by fireflies and glowworms, and there were no other sources of light once I turned my flashlight off. It was so dark that I couldn’t see my own feet, just lights in all directions.
I used to live out in the country near a nature preserve and can confirm it looks like this.
Now I’m forced to live in the burbs and get excited when I see a single firefly.
stop mowing your lawn and stop raking leaves, and the fireflies ought to come back
I didn’t rake my leaves and now have two, but my neighbors all mow their lawns and get rid of leaves
There used to be at least some fireflies every year where I lived in Brooklyn when I was a kid but now there aren’t.
Pretty sure that line is a reference to this. One of my fave songs :)
It is definitely a reference and I don’t know why you got downvoted for that lol.
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.
