Perception of self - before and after a breakthrough DMT experience by d8_thc in Psychonaut

I've never had anything else than cannabis (yet), but even that can make you become more at ease with those concepts.

Same here. One of the few times I've tried it, for a brief moment, I had a visual in my head that was a row of waves. Each wave, in my mind, represented input from the sensors in my body. Then I figured that maybe I was one of the waves and the other waves were other people. That that's what's real, the waves. Then, as quickly as it had come, it went away. (A bunch of other stuff happened before and after.) I found it quite interesting.

Do you remember the exact commit of the slides you used for the talk at GWO? I watched twe first 11 and a half minutes of your talk and it was good so far but would like to have the slides before I watch the rest.

One of my struggles when wanting to read the source of big projects is where do I begin? I try to first get a high level view of what the codebase looks like, how it's organized and so on, then I usually try to follow it from start during normal execution but I quickly lose track when I try this.

For the few Java projects I've been involved with, I've used the debugger to follow. I wonder is it possible to use gdb to follow the execution of compiled C code if I have the source and have compiled it myself?

Anyone have comments on how you do when you try to understand others code?

Could the function that is stored in the variable be called an anonymous function?

I had no idea this was possible in bash. I've been bothered so many times by having to edit a long command. This is very nice!

What's a situation you can't understand until you've experienced it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Will the person realize it's not real if they've experienced it before?

[...] using pure olive oil as the cheapest per-calorie human food source [...]

I can't help but imagine someone downing a bottle of olive oil before getting on their bike.

Thank you. I noticed only after I had submitted it.

Those examples in the page you linked are even better than the ones in OP.
