A favorite thing to do was stare at trees while tripping. They are an excellent visual study of a way natural objects arrange themselves fractally, some neat mathematics behind their geometry. One of my most profound experiences involved a telepathic communications between myself and a divine consciousness connected through my favorite tree in the backyard.

Tire dust? Tires are generaly made from a kind of rubber, not plastic. A great majority of micro plastics that end up in enviroment and in your body are shed from plastic fabrics. If you’re really worried about limiting plastic consumption check your clothing tags for polyester and nylon. Return to cotton, hemp, and linen.

- Comment on What are the best features of Lemmy that aren't available in Reddit? 6 months ago:
This also seems to have the effect of people getting less salty at being down voted, on reddit I noticed the trend of people verbally expressing salt at even a single down vote editing their whole comment to go “and to the brainlet sheeple soyjack who down voted me I’d like you to know yada yada”
Here I notice less people throwing a verbal tantrum over the idea not everyone likes their opinion. Whenever I get the occasional down vote barrage at a spicy opinion I think “ah well can’t win em all, guess maybe my opinion might be a little shit” not “HOW FUCKING DARE YOU YOU TROGLODYTES”, well okay maybe its the second one 1/6th of the time for a few minutes I reserve the right to get salty at petty bullshit on Thursdays and Saturdays 7-3

Nickelodeon gave Fred their own TV show+movie and YouTube bankrolled some popular creators to make a few YouTube red originals, that’s about as far as I can think of

- Comment on Some people are really good at concentrating their attention. (when writing software, playing games, reading etc). It's a superpower. What are other attention superpowers? 6 months ago:
I think paying attention to your experience in the moment is a kind of superpower. So many people are wound up in their own minds constantly focused on their life dramas and current problems and what they are anxious about and all that. Learning to get out of your own head, stop the never ending flow of thoughts and impulses, and appreciate the beauty right in front of you. Not zoning out, learning to silence your mind while paying attention to the world through your senses.
Most days if weather permits around the last hour or two before sundown I will swing in my hammock, smoke some pot, and bask in the sunlight. It does wonders for my mental health.

One of the main reasons I still like older cars. I consider it harassment when I get ding donged to death for not wearing the seatbelt for a two minute drive down the road, if this shit ever happened to me the car is getting fuckin sold ASAP

- Comment on Can willpower be trained ? 7 months ago:
That’s an old psychological theory that like most psyche theories could have grains if truth but is mostly just yet another unfalsifiable hypothesis. Like babies wanting to bang their mom.
Yeah willpower can be ‘trained’ mostly by not giving into emotional impulse decisions and learning how to say ‘no’ to things you want but dont really need or would actively harm you.
Everyone falls into a spctrum, a few people are ridiculously impulsive to the point of being little more than thoughtless animals living in the moment, a few are ridiculously will powered where they have complete control over themselves but miss out on many fun and spontaneous moments of life due to their need for self control. Most are in the middle, with a bit of a skew towards animalistic impulsivity (that’s usually how babies and families are made)
Most people could use a bit more self/emotional control over impulses, but too much control will rob you of many experiences vital to actually enjoying life.

- Comment on I'm not asking to be rich. 7 months ago:
People who make 6 figures with thousands in the bank wondering why they are still miserable: “b-bhut I thought money and owning stuff was supposed to make me happy!” Financial security is but one aspect of finding personal happiness. There people who live in vans scraping by on meager SS who are happy as peaches with their new life. You can be happy and live a comfortable life with very little.
But that’s not what people here want to hear. You see what I say and instantly go “haha yet another corpo shill trying to tell me to be happy with owning nothing” well maybe there’s something to be found in ridding yourself of wants and desires. Learning to be happy with what you have while working towards a little more. Nah that can’t be!
- Comment on Assuming a button that, every time you push it, your intelligence goes up. The obvious and sane thing to do is to push the button all day. Yes? No? Maybe? Is there something that I'm missing here? 7 months ago:
My take away from reading Flowers of argernon, a story about a magical drug that does exactly this being trialed on a severe mentally retarded person is that sometimes ignorance is bliss and intelligence does not equal happiness.

- Comment on [deleted] 7 months ago:
Confirmation bias maybe. I’ve been here a few months and is about the same as it always been for me. The most ‘toxic’ part is when I get down voted for having a disagreeable opinion, but I’ve lived a long time and have been on internet fourms to not get too salty when a majority doesn’t like what I say.

For whatever reason prion disease has a huge chance to spontaneously occur when mammals cannibalize. Especially if they are obligate herbivores. Prion disease originated in cows when some particularly sick fuck though it would b a good idea to put the meat scraps in their feed soylent green style.
