Make folks hallucinate. It doesn’t do that, not really. A person who is hallucinating is unaware that they are hallucinating. They see things in their environment, which aren’t there, or here things which aren’t there.
LSD can produce stunning visuals, but there is never a moment where you are unaware that those visuals are being caused by the drug. As for the auditory side of it, it enhances music kind of like thc does, but on a much larger scale. I would say that’s the wildest part. For me, with very slow, subtle movements of my body, I could feel like I was moving into and around the music. Still though, I was fully aware that the drug was behind it.
There are no pink elephants, not really. Though, I would say that my imagination was a lot more vivid and my mind more likely to wander. Still, I knew it was my imagination.
I’ve heard some fake ass stories about people being surrounded by fuzzy bunnies and all kinds of stuff.
I will say, I haven’t taken an absurd amount of it at once. I haven’t taken it in more than a decade either.

There are too many of them. They’re dumb. I’ve encountered a few of them smart enough to avoid eating the front of a car, but not many. I have had 5 cars smashed by them bolting out in front of me.
My favorite one was when I drove to the top of a mountain road, one bolted out in front of me. I wasn’t going fast enough to do any real damage to the car, but because I was at the top of the mountain it launched the fucker like it was tossed off a cliff. While I was sitting there in shock that it happened, not moving at all, BAM! One ran into my fucking door as hard as it could. While I was baffled by that and in total disbelief, BAM! Another runs right into my parked car at full speed.
The one I hit survived, one of the two that slammed into my parked car must have broken its neck. It died right there on the side of the road.
My car was covered in dust from the coal mines, and a perfect image of a deer that looked like a painting was there on my dented door. Tongue hanging out, stupid look on its face. I wish we had cameras in our pockets back then.
I know they can’t help it, but damn I stay anxious when driving. They’re everywhere. I hit one a few weeks ago, turn around and popped one on the nose over the weekend.
People used to hunt here and it wasn’t this bad. Not many people hunt here anymore and the farmers massacre the coyotes

Here in Appalachia they light the trees up.
Good god I’m lucky to live here. Wildlife everywhere (fuck deer though), beautiful rolling mountains all around, very few people. It’s a fucking paradise.
Well, mostly. Very backwards, super religious people. I just pay them no mind.

I’m going to go with a degoogled version of the OS (LineageOS is my current plan).
The only way I’ll back out is if Apple allows an ad blocker that will cover any app I’m using. I’m currently paying for one that only works on Safari and YouTube videos take a thousand years to load up.
Now if a legit version of Firefox makes its way to iPhone in the US with ublock, I’ll be happy with that.
- Comment on As a long-time user hearing YouTube wants to play ads when I pause a video 2 weeks ago:
Ads never bothered me on YouTube.
They’re bothering me enough now that I’m going with an android phone after more than a decade on iPhones just so I can get back to YouTube the way it used to be with a decent and blocker.
I can’t fucking stand it.
Want to show someone a short clip? Nah. Gotta skip two fucking ads first while you stand there looking stupid and waiting.
I’m fucking done.

- Comment on sleep paralysis 4 weeks ago:
Man…
For me it happens when I’m under extreme stress, like my 3 year long “come back, I love you. I don’t love you anymore. I’m not cheating, he’s just a guy I snuck out with for no reason while I thought you were gonna be at work” divorce.
You said wiggling a toe got you out of it. For me it was tapping my pinky and trying to scream.
I even learned to control it and it was like an acid trip. Well, more like I learned to ride it and not be afraid.
One of the wildest ones I experienced though, I had recently purchased a hamster for my daughter that turned out to be a pregnant female. I tried to give the babies away, no one would take them. They slaughtered each other. I didn’t know they did that.
I was laying in bed watching my comfort food, Star Trek TOS. Suddenly the hamster cage appeared on my stomach with the gate opened. 40-50 hamsters crawled out and started eating my fingers and burrowing into my chest and stomach. I couldn’t move. My ex appeared at the foot of the bed as a shadowy creature with wild hair rocking back and forth laughing at me and hissing. I tapped my pinky and tried to scream once I was aware it was sleep paralysis. A hamster crawled up on my face and started eating my nose. I finally managed to mumble scream enough to get my exes attention and she reached out and touched me. As soon as she did I snapped back to reality.
The last time it happened I wasn’t expecting it. I was in a decent place in my personal life, work was chaotic though. I thought my house was full of distant relatives and they were killing people from outside of the family in my living room.
I hate that shit when it takes me by surprise. When it happens regularly I take control and I don’t mind it.

Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club band is an intro to an album. It isn’t meant to be played as a standalone song. I have never once listened to the intro track and thought, “Ooh, this is fantastic. One of the greats from the Beatles.” It set the stage for the band to throw away the image the world expected of them as the so called “fab 4” and explore sound while pretending to be people they weren’t.
What you have said here is like watching the opening theme to a television show and then throwing your hands up and saying, “that’s it guys! Second worst tv show ever! Just behind this tv show I actually watched, and just ahead another I actually watched.”
If you’d actually like a chance to be critical of an actual piece of music meant to be consumed on its own from Sgt Pepper, check out A Day in the Life and get back with me.

38 here. I absolutely love the Beatles. I didn’t like their earlier stuff when I was younger but I’ve worked my way backwards from Help as I’ve got older.
I love all of it.

Wow, are you him?
I used joke with the guy I’m talking about in the comment above when he’d say dumb or basic shit. No shit.
Like, one time he seen me and another friend smoking on the porch at work and he said, “If you boys smoke, you will die.” And I replied, something like, “Deep thoughts by postmateDumbass…”
Would be a crazy coincidence if you aren’t him.
I mean, I also see how your comment fits, but damn.

I mean, I think it’s pretty obvious why I posted it here. There’s a dude hoping some kid chokes on a grape in that meme up there.
Sorry if I made you sad. That shit actually happened. Nothing I can do about it.

A friend of mine had a small daughter who died choking on a grape. I mean, it’s not exactly relevant here, it just made me think of him. I hope he’s doing alright these days.

Don’t mind me, I’m just the local idiot.
- Comment on Yep, defintely not a bad person 1 month ago:
It sounds too extreme to be real.
That said, my mother lost her mother when she was 4 years old. Her mom took her own life, my mom witnessed the aftermath and was already traumatized as hell.
My grandfather remarried and that woman did everything she could to get rid of my mom.
People can become better, and my step grandmother did. She apologized to my mom and owned what she did, and she was pretty good with me and my siblings when we were growing up.
The shit she put my mom through was insane. She told my mom that her mom was in hell burning because she killed herself. My mom and her step siblings got lice at school and she shaved my mom’s head but not theirs (12 years old too, so she got bullied on top of that humiliation), told my mom she looked too much like her mom and was ugly (and honestly, my mother was one of the most beautiful people around. When I was growing up I heard comments constantly, “Bro! Your sister is hot!” “That’s my mom jackass!”)
The list goes on and on. She succeeded in getting rid of my mom when she hit about 13. My mom’s youngest sibling was more than 10 years older than her, so she spent her teens moving around between her older brother and sisters until she married at 16, and has been on her own since.
