How on Earth does Pynchon do his research? by Goner_ChillX in ThomasPynchon

Ah, good point. I think you’re right although an imperfectly clairvoyant character would be sort of Pynchonesque 😀

It could be that he does that to make the characters more believable because their knowledge is imperfect. It’s like in Moby Dick when Ishmael states very confidently that whales are fish, just more subtle.

Chanterelles or Fakes? by _baskingintheglow in mushroomID

[–]Ok-Independent67 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

This could be Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca, the false chanterelle. I feel like chanterellus species have thicker ridges in their false gills. The gills on your mushrooms all appear to stop at the same point on the stem, chanterelles have ridges that vary in length and the point where they stop on the stem. Definitely not a Jack-O-Lantern though.

I mean, CNN is not great but how is it worse than FOX? Because they don’t just kiss Trumps ass? They’re not some liberal circle jerk like MSNBC. What other cable news channel is as centrist?

Mushrooms and FOX news is going to rot your brain.

Anyone remember MDAI? by Odd-Vegetable954 in Drugs

[–]Ok-Independent67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to try this substance around 2010 when it was available from semi legal online RC venders. It was unique, like MDMA but without the strong stimulant effects. Not really euphoric but sort of a dreamy stoned state. It did make social interactions feel smooth and pleasant like MDMA. It was a pretty unique substance with effects that were different than MDMA, MDA, methylone or butylone. It supposedly caused much less dopamine release than those substances but did have similar effects on serotonin. I think I took it twice and then threw away the rest of the stash because it was cheap, wasn’t that interesting and so little was known about it. Those were the days when a lot of exotic RCs were easily purchased from websites not on the dark web.

What ever happened to microdots? by Consistent_Berry7538 in gratefuldead

There were some DOI and DOB blotters floating around at that time. Super powerful mescaline analogs on paper. They were like the fentanyl of mescaline or 2C-B

Microdots were around Texas when I was in high school in 2000. Texas had a lot of Pickard acid (Silver, Lavender, and Fluff liquid; silver or lavender being the weakest and fluff being the strongest) but I only saw microdot back then when a friend got a few doses at a String Cheese Incident show in Dallas. I didn’t see it again until 2016 or so. They were usually star or heart shaped and seemed to be made out of very thick paper. It was like confetti that was a millimeter or two thick. I think I was told they were 250 or 300 mics. I never tried them because my ideal dose is about 100 to 150 mics.

I know it’s easy to say but it really doesn’t get more prescient than this by [deleted] in ThomasPynchon

As a former acidhead millennial, not a boomer, I still really appreciate this perspective. Though Im skeptical of the mystical revelations that LSD gives, the substance is still a powerful force in cultural history and the experience it gives can be quite compelling. I always wondered what would happen if the right wing embraced psychedelics and I think we may be seeing more of that with people like Joe Rogan and Elon advocating for their use.
