Brood X (10 in Roman numerals) describes a "brood" of periodical cicadas, within the genus Magicicada, that emerges from the ground once every seventeen (17) years in parts of the U.S. to scream, mate, and die within a few weeks. They look mostly black with some orange highlights and have beady, red eyes. Not all places seem to get them, but in mature forests they are able to congregate in numbers high enough that they don't all get eaten.
The last time that Brood X emerged was during 2021. They also emerged in 2004, and the next time they will emerge will be in 2038.

An unwritten yet powerful law governing the lifestyle choices of domesticated adult males. The law automatically goes into effect following the appearance of the first offspring and it immediately supercedes the "Bros Before Hoes" ordinance (if said regulation has not already been ruled unconstitutional by the ranking female domestic partner). The law is often invoked by disapproving mother-in-laws, with a chiding tone of voice and the words "family first" (and sometimes accompanied by a finger wag).
Depending on tribal customs and which side of the bed local authorities got up on, the law may dramatically reduce or outright prohibit a broad variety of activities including: shooting hoops, watching the game, fishing trips, gaming binges, nights out with the boys, poker nights, ultra violent action movie nights, getting drunk and ogling women way out of your league nights... The list goes on.
The true impact of the law is felt not just by the adult male (i.e. "father"), but also indirectly by the man's best bros, extended friends, co-workers, and the many merchants and facilitators that typically service "the boys" when they go out. In recent years many (men) have cited the negative impact of the law on local economies but, unlike the exhaustive research behind the "Bros Before Hoes" legislation, those subject to "Broods Before Dudes" are generally to exhausted by the end of the day to argue, much less do an economic impact analysis.

Friend 1: Bro, you down with beers this Friday?
Friend 2: (to self, recalling the face of his infant child staring up at him) ...broods before dudes...
Friend 1: (recognizing the blank stare) Never mind, man. You've got stuff going on... How is Dancing With The Stars these days?

A very peculiar creature with a large body and relatively small wings. Brood mother harpies love to reside in libraries, and often read books. They rarely leave their terriotory, often lingering on the same furniture for hours. During winters, they are commonly seen wearing their crown of motherhood. These creatures are so full of eggs that they cannot fly, and also eat large amounts of food. Very aggressive, it is not advised to initiate a conversation with one, let alone encroach on its territory. Reports have shown that they capture certain animals, such as hogs to tend to the nest. The hogs usually pick out and eat the runts of the brood. For millenia, the harpy has been the sign of strong will, as there is no reported victory in arguing, since the harpy never admits its stupidity. Brood mothers are also known to make allies with enemies of the cyborgs, including their strangely close ties with potatoes, toads, hogs, and albino cannibals. They loathe bagels, raisins, cyborgs, and most other creatures. Cyborgs are especially hated since they find killing the crying chicks and breaking their skulls exceptionallly fun.
I found a Brood mother harpy, and I instantly knew that I should run away. Not only did she have the crown, but a hog was on patrol, guarding the nest.
