    A human pandemic like that would end up with at least half of the population resisting the cure.

    Coincidentally, I think I might’ve figured a solution to the climate change.

      Infectious magic mushrooms would be the greatest human pandemic. The last one, too.

      This same fungal infection causes the males to have sex until their butts fall off, so I’m pretty sure some humans would seek it out.

      this is assuming the cults haven’t rolled out before the cure

      it’s so trivially easy to create a psychedelics based cult, and now suddenly everyone is experiencing the same? My friend it’d be a dawn of a new religion

    Step 1: tell the internet cicadas contain drugs.

    Step 2: ?

    Step 3: guy admitted to hospital with a can of Raid up his ass.

    Just read the Wikipedia entry for that fungus. I saw cathinone was mentioned, but I did not see anything about psilocybin

        Neither of these links state psilocybin is in the fungus.

    Wait, where’s the cicade recipe I saw a few days ago?

      I’m not waiting around, thanks. Besides, if you start cooking while still looking for it, I’m sure something’ll turn up. 🤪

      Psilocybin is extremely unstable as a chemical, so heat will cause it to break down pretty fast, so be careful how you cook them.

        I don’t really like rare cicadas, so I guess that’s not going to work then.

      Aldous Huxley, renowned writer of Brave New World was an enjoyer of psychedelics. He wrote the book ‘the doors of perception’ about his psychonautic experiences, inadvertently christening a British band, the Doors.

      On his deathbed he had his wife inject him with a large dose of LSD. Leaving this world tripping. His death went unnoticed by much of the world as he died the same day JFK was assassinated.

    … … …so are we eating the cicadas, or smoking them?

    • Texas_Hangover@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I prefer to grind them up and snort them.

    Not the worst way to go if you have to be slowly eaten alive by a fungus.

    Not too long ago, I saw a (cruel) recipe for cicadas!
