Because they weren't retarded they would have simply followed the sound to a likely source of valuable protein.

"It's screaming hot"
HannibalHoseth
The word 'queue' is just the letter 'Q' followed by four silent letters
thisiskissel
Early people were closer to nature and probably knew what was going on. It is us who live in houses far from nature.
AttackCorgi
I've been looking for this forever now! I've finally found it!
LegendsBlade
Just because they didn't have technology doesn't mean people then were incapable of logical thought, especially with survival and nature
Flyndaran
Inductive and deductive reasoning are instinctive. Of course they're often wrong and require more involved study for greater accuracy.
FanOfCicadas
I'm relevant! And excited!
SchrodingerMil
I thought it was just the sound of pure heat. Summer's are hot in Massachusetts
tinner20
I laughed for way too long on this one
jadf
My ex thought it was electrical wires when they got hot... she believed this until she was 22

Who was the poor woman who first lived long enough to go through menopause?
Ttorr
people often ask what people were doing when milking a cow. I wonder what they were doing when they first made cheese.
YouTellMeDoThingsIDoneRunninnn
That's actually one of my favorite sounds... I find it very relaxing.

They didn't have cats, that bring them screaming in to their dens.

It took me years to know that squirrels make a ton of noise in trees, I never understood what the sound was before that.

When I first saw one in japan I thought it was a giant wasp. Even today I'm afraid to go near one
PineappleMigraine
It was probably the first person who had one of those fuckers come flying, screaming into their face.

It would still be tribal knowledge at that point I'd think.

Wait what... Trees are not screaming?

ForSomeAbstractReason
No, in fact thousands of bugs are banging loudly all day, every day so they can die and boost the population of bug eating animals. Yay!
BlastedSand
Did somebody say Screaming Trees? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PE5f561Y1x4

That's pretty edgy, I nearly cut myself. Wew lad.
Amazinglightbulb
Well even if over simplified (on purpose I expect) the general idea is historically and anthropologically correct.
crossfitjesus
It's actually just the bugs screaming and slowly dying because it's so fucking hot out
ADedicatedDuck
It's the sound of horny, horny bugs.
CatoNator420
Kinda like imgur but in the nature

get rid of the "and slowly dying" and "hot".

It's actually just the bugs screaming because it's so fucking out?
isthisnameregistered
Now remove "it's so" and "out".
fyndir
It's actually just the bugs screaming because fucking?
darbdavys
That's actually closer to the truth.
cattywumpus
I dunno, the first time a giant screaming demon bug flew in my face, I figured out where the noise was coming from.

Happened to me as a kid. I learned that day
Ryebread91
Then you realiZe they're more like imps. Scary looking but harmless
OlympicFail
This is pretty close to the truth. When you don't have tech in your face you see a lot more of nature.
HurgenSchlurgenGlurgen
I refute that: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Hz8dY8CMtGI

What if that tech has a nature documentary on it, hmm?!

My friend had one clinging to her back and she didn't know it then it started screaming so she started screaming spinning in circles.
AxelBeingCivil
Awww, but cicadas are harmless. They might bite you if they mistake you for a tree, but that's it; won't even bite in self-defense.
gamesthatiplay
I've been bit by boxelder bugs and those things don't even have mouths.
FrankWest
But they do have mouths.. How else would they feed?
gamesthatiplay
They have suckers that pierce.
Ryebread91
"One of us one of us" -cicada probably
gamesthatiplay
She had 2 people trying to take it off, but she wouldn't stop spinning. It was like a cicada rodeo.
RockMeLikeASugarcane
Yes but who won in the end.
gamesthatiplay
I did I was the one who plucked the cicada. It convinced her to stop smoking. No smoking outdoor lights at night to attract them.
MCGrannyHands
Yeah this was clearly written by someone who doesn't get outside much
fissnoc
I have often had the same experience when walking through fields of long grass in the summer. I worked outside for years. Cicadas be stupid.
thorkild91
I don't care how often you see shit and nature. Cicadas are kinda fuckin terrifying when they're flying at you
MCGrannyHands
No I meant the original post, haha, getting hit in the face with a cicada is terrifying.
thorkild91
Ok. More sense I thought you were saying going outdoors frequently made you immune to those terror demons.
SunshineAndNihilism
I thought that sound was fro rays of sunlight until I was like 9. Probably didn't help that my grandfather told me that, among other things.

My grandpa told me the "watch for falling rock" highway signs were a warning about a native American ghost who was going to scalp me.

Me too! Except my mom told it to me...and it was a romantic story about a native american princess and her suitor...

What did people think of static electricity before we had a name for it? Like yeah, sometimes we touch and it hurts but no big deal?
TheWorldMayNeverKnow
God
ChrisBronson
I like to imagine a caveman going down a plastic slide at the playground to generate some more static. "Hey, touch my finger"
Glasken
Her slightest touch ignited a fire between us...
Radbrad21
Sometimes when we touch, the honesty's too much
Greeneyeddevil
If early humans were like my parents their explanation for everything was because I didn't clean my room.
Brionyrae
*rubs feet on carpet* KNEEL BEFORE CHRIST
eumenedies
Ancient Greeks called static electricity the amber (elektron) effect because rubbed amber attracted dust. Probably not that strong, though.

Silk boxers are like 20 dollars IIRC. Glass is lying around everywhere.

wax on wool?
nopepatrol
Wool? Idk.
CrispRatt
Wool is really electropositive, so yeah probably one of the main sources of static shocks. No wonder the Scandinavians had a thunder god.
Agouti
I... wow. Mind = blown.

They probably thought it was a witch casting a hex and then stoned or torched the person who touched them

EdwardStarsmith
I'm only now having this thought: I wonder if static has anything to do with the biblical admonition against wearing garments of two fibers?
knightperson
No actually that was because Baal worshippers would wear garments with two fibers as a fertility ritual, it was a practice of another faith
knightperson
So they didn't wear garments of two fabrics because it was seen as sacrilegious, something done to try to appease a different god

ntzrmtthihu777
Wow, actually that's pretty interesting in the context of certain 'researchers' suggesting the ark's destructive power was from electricity.
Douglasth
"ark's destructive power". Are we talking about the Transformers or the bible? Honest question.
Martecles
Biblical: MythBusters did an episode to see if the Ark of the Covenant could be a chemical-based battery. @MisterSavage gets really mad.
