  According to the Psychonautwiki on shrroms (which is fairly reliable in my experience), anything over 50mg of psilocybin is a “heavy” dose. Trouble is, unless you can get your shrooms from a reliable source, guessing the psilocybin content is pretty tricky. The one time I intentionally did a pretty heavy trip on shrooms, it was something like a quarter ounce of dried shrooms, but another time I just had a nibble on one for laughs while drinking with my buddies and it wound up being pretty substantial. If they’re fresh instead of dried or just a different strain or batch, it’s all pretty up in the air, so my advice is to always be ready for a heavy trip unless you’ve already had some experience with that particular batch.

  I believe that’s the point of the original meme. I hesitate to say “whoosh,” as you did eventually get to the the same interpretation, but you definitely took the pretty blatant subtext and made it text.

  Then again, I still upvoted you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The "We Tried" Award⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Getting a tech for your first win, especially in a match where your team got crushed is a big deal, especially for a new athlete. I wouldn’t call anything about that a participation trophy.

  In fact, one of my proudest memories as a HS wrestler was losing by one in a dual meet being against our rivals where the coaches asked me to wrestle up two weight classes and my goal was “don’t get teched or pinned.” I lost, but I did my part and the team won (so the inverse of your sitch). I would say that an individual win and team loss or an individual loss but team win are both worth celebrating. That’s one of my favorite things about wrestling is that you can have a good day regardless of who the team is facing or how everyone else does.

  The political prints about Spain and Spanish politics are particularly interesting to me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cheeto devouring his nation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I dunno, I think that’s part of the magic of the Black Paintings. To me, what makes them truly unsettling (in the best way) is the fact that he painted them exclusively for his own desire and that we’re limited to guessing the subject matter (which, although ambiguous, was undoubtedly dark).

  Except you do level up if you continue to practice and learn new skills.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Titan Quest II Deep Dive⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The original Titan Quest was one of, if not the last, physical game i ever bought. I never got it working on my computer at the time, but I will never forget it just because of the fact I still possess the physical case and disc.

  Son in Law is one of my partner’s favorite movies, and even being introduced to it in the late 2000’s, I can see the appeal. Peak Pauly Shore. Plus, there really aren’t that many Thanksgiving movies, so it’s right up there with Planes, Trains, and Automobiles for the Mount Rushmore of Thanksgiving movies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How The Muppet Movie Should Have Ended⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Except the antagonist of the Muppets movie knew Kermit was a frog, which is why he wanted to kill and eat/sell his frog legs at his frog leg restaurant. You’re right that no one saw anything unusual about a talking frog (and that is part of the humor), but at least some people recognized that he was a frog.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The after party⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, yes, but I still drink too heavily and partied hard throughout college and grad school. I mean, if you don’t develop a new substance dependency or 2 over of the course of earning of a degree, does even count?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The after party⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And if you party long enough, you will inevitably become “that guy” at some point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is water an acid or a base?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Autoionization and the reverse reaction are constantly happening in water, and when the reaction is happening at the same rate forward and backward the system is said to be “at dynamic equilibrium” (aka, stuff is happening, but there’s no net change)

  In pure water, the concentration of hydronium and hydroxide are equal, so it’s said to be neutral. At room temperature, that concentration is approximately 1*10^-7 moles per liter, which gives a pH of 7 (since pH is defined as the negative log _10 of hydronium concentration)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is water an acid or a base?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not really. Deuterium exists naturally in more it less the ratio as it has since the solar system first coalesced.

  Also, deuterium is a component of heavy water, but the term “deuterium” actually referred to the specific isotope of hydrogen where the nucleus consists of one proton and one neutron, as opposed to a single proton (which is the more common isotope)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is water an acid or a base?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Interestingly enough, in other solvents a neutral pH is going to be a different value. IIRC, ammonia has an autoionization constant of 10^-30, so a neutral pH would be 15

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is water an acid or a base?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why the meme works. It’s not because water autoionizes; it’s because water is amphoteric, meaning it can act as either a Brønsted-Lowry acid or BL base depending on what what it’s reacting with. Put water with ammonia, and water acts as an acid. Put water with acetic acid, and it acts as a base

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨tomorrow is wednesday, my dudes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t even ever get the physical withdrawals or any noticeable effects, regardless of how often I do or don’t drink it. So, since my partner really does need the coffee first thing in the morning and I’m making it anyway, I usually have a cup because I like the taste and ritual. But when she’s out of town or getting coffee elsewhere, I hardly ever have any caffeine.

  The exception is when I was taking Adderall every day, I really did feel some effects from the caffeine, mostly potentiating the amphetamine. I do miss that aspect of being medicated

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨tomorrow is wednesday, my dudes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Made well I enjoy the taste, but it’s ever been good at keeping me awake or making me productive.

  Same. I eventually figured out that this is likely a symptom of my adult ADHD, and I either need unhealthy amounts of coffee or something a little stronger
