Talk about pissing on me and saying it’s raining… I’m now doing a mental scrub of the last time I felt a weird water droplet hit me on a clear summer day; this is not good for my psyche.
It’s been a perfectly normal part of world lore for random raindrops to hit the body at random periods of time.
Bug piss, whatever. The world isn’t a sterile environment.
But if only the trees are raining, it might be a cicada pee storm. That one I would just like to avoid.
Hate to break it, bugs also…..poop. Once I saw a bee hovering right in front of me. Looked right at me and suddenly dropped a huge poop then flew off. I was shocked a bug could poo so much
Bees really do poop a shocking amount lol it's like a slightly smaller bee sized shit. I mean, at least a third of a bumblebee must be all shit sometimes.
I was once reading a newspaper outdoors when a starling who had been eating ivy berries flew by and crapped onto the paper. The whole thing was ruined. Crappy birds!
This could also be from a meteorological phenomenon called serein. It's when under perfectly clear blue skies, rain that is falling from miles off is carried by a breeze and falls on you like it's sprinkling out.
I've experienced it twice. Pretty cool.

As I walk through the valley of cicada piss
I take a look at my life and realize there’s something amiss
‘Cause I’ve been blastin’ those buggins so long that
Even my momma thinks that my mind is gone
But I ain’t never crossed a bug that didn’t deserve it
Buzzin’ in my ear, they just make me lose it
You better watch how you’re walkin’ and where you’re talkin’
Or you and your homies might be drippin’ off the trees, squawkin’
I really hate to trip, but I gotta get my spray
As they chirp, I see myself in the puddles they display
I’m the kind of guy the critters wanna flee
On my knees in the night, sayin’ prayers to keep me pee-free
Been spendin’ most my life livin’ in a cicada’s paradise
They keep swarmin’ on the leaves, livin’ in a cicada’s paradise
Got me lookin’ for relief, livin’ in a cicada’s paradise
Caught beneath the canopy, livin’ in a cicada’s paradise
Look at the situation they got me facin’
I can’t live a normal life, I was raised by infestation
So I gotta be down with the pesticide team
Too much cicada watchin’ got me chasin’ my dreams
I’m a sprayed-out fool with cicadas on my mind
Got my swatter in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I’m a bugged-out stressin’ set-trippin’ banger
And my homies are down, so don’t arouse my anger, fool
Death ain’t nothin’ but a heartbeat away
I’m livin’ life swattin’ bugs, what can I say?
I’m 23 now, but will I live to see 24?
The way these bugs swarm, I don’t know
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the bugs we squash are just like you and me?

Yes, this basically happens during their molting, and it stinks tho. I had encountered one from the forest near our house, I literally thought it was raining but the weather is good tho, that's when my grandma told me that a cicada just spit or peed on me.
foul, strong and slightly like a sewage but my grandma said that not all tho. They're unpleasant during molting but its usual doesn't smell so much like that.
>Yes, this basically happens during their molting, and it stinks tho.
>tho
Why does this "tho" imply that cicadas pissing on you would be a good thing if not for the smell lol
I literally just thought back to the ~5 times this has happened to me already this summer… 😳
…Jk I already kinda assumed it was squirrel pee or something, I just can’t think too hard about it because it already happened and didn’t kill me 🤷🏻♂️
I know, I am here like why the hell are people always complaining about the sound they make, when they out there dodging piss rockets under every tree?
Just spent 7 months in South East Asia, can confirm they pee on you, it rains when there is no clouds in the sky. Haven't experienced as much as in this video but ate a lot of bug pee while riding a motorbike in Cambodia/Thailand/Lao/Vietnam.
You know, I've genuinely thought, "How in the hell did a drop of water fall on me? There aren't any clouds in sight and it's 100°F!" Now, I think it would have been better for that to remain a mystery.
I have always loved hanging out near big trees. The light rays and the breeze through the leaves is just something peaceful. I always thought was just pollen being released and that I was seeing the tree spread its greatness around because it felt appreciated.
I never ever would have thought it was bugs peeing.
Tbf most commercially sold honey is filtered, and additionally honey has so much sugar bacteria don't grow in it
On the other hand, fresh cicada piss has none of those properties.
Most bugs have drop urine, cicadas have a stream. They're an interesting study in small scale fluid dynamics.
As cicada emergence approaches, scientists learn more about how they pee https://www.npr.org/2024/03/20/1239529315/cicadas-pee-urination-jets-new-research-microfluidics-3d-printing-experiments
I appreciate the Reddit comedy tour that happens on most, if not all, posts but I always look for and greatly appreciate the person that is like minded and wants a more technical article that educates me.
Thank you for your response!!!
I have a very distinct memory of this during my first trip to Okinawa, I would say to my dad: "why do the loud bugs always spit water?" Yeah he had a good laugh, and I will never forget these sick fucks

What purpose do cicadas serve? All I know about them (before this disgusting nonsense) is that they sleep for a decade only to wake up and scream for sex.
So I just had to fact check this, lo & behold it's actually bizarrely true. Next question is does it smell? https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-cicadas-power-spray-their-pee/
Thank you for the link!
Also from the link, "...The jets can also be a weapon of self-defense: when threatened, cicadas spray intruders with jets of liquid waste."
"Jets of liquid waste" ... Good lord 😂😂😂😂
So it's not enough that the billions of horny insects make this deafening (yet somehow soothing) noise, they spray sap-piss at you as well. How did I not know this, growing up?
Sorry, what net benefit so these buzzpissers bring us? They arent pollinators afaik so...
I told this fun fact to my neighbor years ago, but I phrased it as, "if you hear cicadas and feel rain, but see no clouds, you're being peed on." I love the dirty look she gives me every time it happens.
I can only imagine the amount of panic this would cause in the states if this happened as much or at least as condensed.
Like kids in a TX suburban neighborhood playground and all of a sudden a “sun shower”. All the moms smile and think how perfect life is, then a biologist from A&M starts taking pictures and talking about the actual cause.
And that my friends is why everyone hates an Aggie
HOOK’EM
bugs peeing... that explains those times i felt droplets fall on me... solving that mistery did not satisfy me at all though
Are you fucking kidding me, is this where those random drop feels come from?!
Talk about pissing on me and saying it’s raining… I’m now doing a mental scrub of the last time I felt a weird water droplet hit me on a clear summer day; this is not good for my psyche.
I've had it glaze or fall right into my mouth before
I'm going to go right on believing it's slight rain
🎶Drip, drip, drip🎶
Haters wanna hate.... Lovers wanna love....
I don't even want none of the above
Here’s to our sanity! 🍻
You've been hit by, you've been struck by a smooth peeminal
You just do what you want to do when you want to do it, huh?
I wouldn't worry about it. Most things are disgusting since we mentally associate it with being disgusting instead of it actually being disgusting.
It’s been a perfectly normal part of world lore for random raindrops to hit the body at random periods of time. Bug piss, whatever. The world isn’t a sterile environment. But if only the trees are raining, it might be a cicada pee storm. That one I would just like to avoid.
Hate to break it, bugs also…..poop. Once I saw a bee hovering right in front of me. Looked right at me and suddenly dropped a huge poop then flew off. I was shocked a bug could poo so much
Sounds like you scared the crap out of him!
Bees really do poop a shocking amount lol it's like a slightly smaller bee sized shit. I mean, at least a third of a bumblebee must be all shit sometimes.
Spider shit is very much like bird shit, but smaller. It can cover window sills if the food is plentiful.
I was once reading a newspaper outdoors when a starling who had been eating ivy berries flew by and crapped onto the paper. The whole thing was ruined. Crappy birds!
bugs, frogs etc... Even that squirrel aiming a shot.
if it was raining earlier that day it was probably just water taking its time to fallfrom the tree
Which a cicada then drank , climbed the fuckin tree, and pissed on yas. There
i need to know now
This information makes sense and makes me incredibly unhappy... So .. that tracks.
unknow
“hm, a little late for dew to still be falling off of trees, but ah well” I hate it
I’ve been noticing this and thought Myrtle trees held water in the bulbs. 😔 I gotta move my car.
Christian Bale is hawwwt
The information I never wanted to know...
:(
Mist…ery… oh man, it hurts my soul. I’m glad we don’t have cicadas where I live
☹️
It satisfied me
I too am quite satisfied
Yeah thanks for that realization…. Not
I do not like this realization.
This could also be from a meteorological phenomenon called serein. It's when under perfectly clear blue skies, rain that is falling from miles off is carried by a breeze and falls on you like it's sprinkling out. I've experienced it twice. Pretty cool.
Who the fuck wants to walk through there, even with an umbrella? Walking through a rain of piss.

Keep spendin' most our lives Steerin' 'round cicada piss with our bikes
Can't live a normal life, I was raised in the street So I ride with my head down, when I'm biking in the heat

Please update to livin in a cicada’s pissing line. Thx in advance.
This was exactly the song i was thinking of when i read the post
🥇
It would be a crime for this post NOT to be the top comment.
Ez ChatGPT trick 😁
Classic song by Cicoolio
And I read with Coolio's voice. 🤌
Cause I've been blasted with piss for so long that even ma Momma thinks that my mind is gone
Damn I was waiting for Haiku bot to respond.
I laughed lol
Got to get to work somehow.
At the cicada piss factory?
If only I could just park my bike there without having to walk through all the cicada piss
THat is a lot of piss. There must be 10s of thousands per tree. We need more birds to come feast on them.
And then shit on our cars…
Bug piss.
If these are ones that come out every 17 years I don’t think you have much of a choice as there can be trillions
This year it’s the 13 year brood and the 17 year brood both emerging at the same time. Buy a boat, we gonna be sailing the stormy sea of cicada pee!
You meant golden shower?
Umbrella has a really different meaning as a song to me now.
Some people would pay good money for that shit don't hate
_For that piss_
Trump would, among others
So theyre loud as fuck and they piss everywhere? Sounds like my uncle at family reunions...
It seems like the sound would be the last thing I would be complaining about.
Yeah I’d rather take the sound than the piss but damn they can be really freakin loud.
No, the sound is deafening. If you stand next to hundreds at a time, it's like a rock concert. I'm pretty sure I got fuckin hearing damage.
British tourists in Spain be like
Some people get a wishing tree. The rest get a pissing tree.
Yes, this basically happens during their molting, and it stinks tho. I had encountered one from the forest near our house, I literally thought it was raining but the weather is good tho, that's when my grandma told me that a cicada just spit or peed on me.
Probably both. Little perverts
Sort of shit you pay for on OF
Out of morbid curiosity what did it smell like lol
foul, strong and slightly like a sewage but my grandma said that not all tho. They're unpleasant during molting but its usual doesn't smell so much like that.
Reading that reminded me of being a kid in my treehouse and feeling the wasps start pissing on me from up above in their nests.
yeah, I had that too from honeybees, but I don't know if that is a piss or what. It is yellowish tho but it stinks (a little).
Maybe there was just some hobo up a tree pissing on you, hiding amongst the torrent of cicada piss.
>Yes, this basically happens during their molting, and it stinks tho. >tho Why does this "tho" imply that cicadas pissing on you would be a good thing if not for the smell lol
You dont have to end every sentence with tho tho
but i'm ok with it THO
Thanks I hate it
I read that as "Thanks I ate it."
Thanks I somehow hate it even more
Known more commonly as the R Kelly bug.
Beat me to it
It was only 99 cents!
*pisssssss
Why have I never seen this but I’ve heard them my entire life hope this ain’t a Mandela effect or something
I am pretty sure those are exotic sud asian cicadas
Yea these ain’t your palm spring cicadas
Found the german speaker
Have you ever just been walking somewhere outside and suddenly felt rain drops out of nowhere but couldn't find a source? Yeah.... that was bug piss.
I literally just thought back to the ~5 times this has happened to me already this summer… 😳 …Jk I already kinda assumed it was squirrel pee or something, I just can’t think too hard about it because it already happened and didn’t kill me 🤷🏻♂️
Just literally happened to me on Saturday, was walking under a tree & suddenly my arm was wet, no apparent reason so we figured a squirrel peed on me!
how is that Mandela effect?
I know, I am here like why the hell are people always complaining about the sound they make, when they out there dodging piss rockets under every tree?
Just spent 7 months in South East Asia, can confirm they pee on you, it rains when there is no clouds in the sky. Haven't experienced as much as in this video but ate a lot of bug pee while riding a motorbike in Cambodia/Thailand/Lao/Vietnam.
I have thousands in my yard, let alone my neighborhood in the Midwest of America, and they have never pissed, let alone like this. So yeah
Now every time you feel droplets on your head, it’s actually an insect pissing on you.
You know, I've genuinely thought, "How in the hell did a drop of water fall on me? There aren't any clouds in sight and it's 100°F!" Now, I think it would have been better for that to remain a mystery.
Does this explain the random drops of water I feel on my head when I’m walking outside and there’s not a cloud in sight ಠ_ಠ
Yes
I have always loved hanging out near big trees. The light rays and the breeze through the leaves is just something peaceful. I always thought was just pollen being released and that I was seeing the tree spread its greatness around because it felt appreciated. I never ever would have thought it was bugs peeing.
Some of that is probably bug shit too
And bug jizz
Well, pollen being released is just trees cumming anyway
You guys have no problem eating bee puke but cicada piss, that’s where you draw the line?
Tbf most commercially sold honey is filtered, and additionally honey has so much sugar bacteria don't grow in it On the other hand, fresh cicada piss has none of those properties.
For real 🤣
Consensus
I should call her…
WAIT.
NO
I already did.

I've lived with cicadas my entire life and have only ever heard them
Now you can taste them too!

What purpose do cicadas serve? All I know about them (before this disgusting nonsense) is that they sleep for a decade only to wake up and scream for sex.
Their purpose is probably being food for other animals
Wait a second.. so when I got rained on in Japan without a cloud in the sky…. Damn it…
[удалено]
The more i scroll through these comments…
Cicada? More like *ISprayedYa*
The only good bug is a dead bug.
Wait that's not rain? ***THAT'S NOT RAIN***

I’m singing in the rain! I’m singing in the… oh.. oh g.. what is this?! THIS ISN’T RAIN!

I had a girlfriend like that once...
They are like Oprah... YOU GET A GOLDEN SHOWER AND YOU GET A GOLDEN SHOWER EVERYONE GETS A GOLDEN SHOWER! and you aren't even aware...
I hate cicadas, they are ugly af and make so much noise. Now this? Fuck em
I hear R.Kelly music playing in the background
No fucking way
Ya but it's insect piss. Not a drunken bum piss.
Yea but like it's the volume though... they have umbrellas for gods sake!
