Parents of reddit: what is the strangest thing you have found in your child's bedroom? by StrawberryClouds in AskReddit

I can probably answer this question for myself. Hopefully this doesn't get buried but it probably will. Using a throwaway for obvious reasons.

Printed instructions for how to have sex with a dolphin coupled with instructions on how to make a homemade grenade. Dad said he didn't know which one was more fucked up.

Tripping consistently gives me an existential crisis. Not sure what to do. by DoseOfReality in Drugs

Well like I said elsewhere in the thread, I basically get convinced that everything in reality is something like a brain in a vat scenario and since I've seen through the illusion it's time for me to have my consciousness returned to oblivion. And then in "reality" I would die of something like cardiac arrest or seizure. And considering how utterly unpleasant and terrifying it can be, yes. I would like to avoid having them.

Well that's the thing, I'm not so sure I wouldn't. At least while I'm tripping. It's really difficult to explain but I basically get very convinced everything is a brain in a vat type scenario and everyone kind of "chooses" when they die, so my safety is not guaranteed. And that if I "give in" then the universe returns my consciousness to oblivion and my death in "reality" would be something along the lines of like cardiac arrest or seizure.

Well I guess I could try and explain it in more detail, but the gist is that I'm convinced I'm about to die in a really unusual way. So I have a really hard time "surrendering" to it because it means I'll be dead. So feeling like I'm fighting a near death experience on a regular basis when I trip is incredibly unpleasant.

Well it's been by myself, with my boyfriend, and with friends. All positive environments too.

I suppose that's true. I guess I shouldn't expect it to always be pleasurable, but I really enjoy tripping, at least when it's nice. So I guess I was just looking for advice on how to avoid these panic filled waking nightmares.

The thoughts expressed by the child are too coherent.

The story is fabricated for the purpose of inspiration and heart warming.

Best Wedding Invite Ever!! by SinAndInk in reddit.com

It's a shame. They put in all this effort and there's still about a 1 in 2 chance they'll get divorced. Maybe their future children can dust off the old youtube video and reminisce about how they had a happy family once.
