  I knew about them but didn’t see them well into adulthood. It’s underwhelming

    Really? I’m a seasoned adult-er, and I still get a little flicker of wonder when i see those lights floating in the field behind my house on summer evenings.

    I feel like fireflies have to be pretty perfectly whelming? like on the level of a swarm of pretty butterflies: cool, but not that cool.

      I don’t know man, I’ve seen an actual swarm of butterflies (it took days for them to fly through) and it was pretty fucking awesome.

      I think it’s just because the only idea I had was from cartoons. They don’t exist where I’m from.

      They are still eery and cool though.

      Whelming always goes for the MILFs.
