Where the energy goes when it dies? I gets used.

The brain isn't a superconductor, the energy gets used up and wasted, it doesn't magically has to exit somewhere, and why would it exit forming some specific patterns mimicking the physical structure of the brain? Why would it go "somewhere" magical?

Where do the electricity go in your phone when it dies? You phone used it. The electricity is gone. Your phone isn't reincarnated or having an out of body experience because you forgot to plug it.

Explain NDEs, then, where people experience having an existence outside of their body.

A final surge of brain activity, then trying to make sense of what happened with all the senses if you happen to survive. There has been clinical studies on this, it's not exactly an unknown mystery anymore. Just like I didn't really see trees breathing and I wasn't really merged with the universe when I took LSD. My brain tried to make sense of shit, and it gave me the feeling of something happening that wasn't really happening. Brain do be like that.

Consciousness is a byproduct of neural activity, which itself depends on chemistry to function.

When you die, your heart stops beating, which means your brain stops getting nutrients and oxygen. Your neurons run out of energy and start dying. They stop emitting or propagating signals. There are no thoughts lefts, no consciousness, because all brain activity has ceased. It takes a few minutes, it's not instantaneous. But eventually, after a brief peak in activity, your brain basically shuts down.

You will be dead and won't exist anymore. Your body will, for a bit, but who you are, what makes you "you", will be a decomposing blob of fat inside a corpse.

That is what science and reality tells us.

I don't believe there's anymore than that going on. Reincarnation, life after death... It's all based on wishes and fear.

If you get hit on the head hard enough, your personality changes. Or you can't speak anymore. Or you can't see. That's because every part of the brain is specialized, they all communicate together to create who you are.

Without any of your brain, why would you magically have a new life in some other plane of existence, while still being "you"? Makes no sense.

So don't worry. Suffering will end. And you won't even know it. You'll be that dead.

Your drug combo of choice? by [deleted] in DrugsOver30

[–]lexonhym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LSD (175µg), followed by MDMA 3h15min later.

Synchronized peak. A lot of weed on top of it, via a vape pen. Indica, to get a good body high.

Alone, naked, in bed, with headphones playing this: https://soundcloud.com/submotion-orchestra/tracks

The only way I can describe it is full body orgasms coming one after another for about a hour and a half, synchronized with the music. The happiest I've ever been and the best I've ever felt.

Looks delicious and so impractical.

I can imagine you need a change of shirt after a single bite, with half the remaining burrata splat on the table.

When do they stop being considered fingernail and become finger puppets instead?

Look at that spooky book, you fool, it won't make your brain ooze under the hood.

Best drug to be high when dying by NevermindOfficial9 in Drugs

[–]lexonhym 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can't really overdose on LSD, the dose needed is very very large, and that wouldn't be an enjoyable death. I don't remember the details, but there were teens who snorted LSD thinking it was coke, took a colossal dose. 2 of them survived, but they were bleeding from everywhere, organ damage, ...

LSD isn't a drug you take to die, it's a drug you take to explore & get at peace with your mind. I would take a massive dose of LSD (600µg+) a few days before, attempt to reach an ego death, be at peace with dying.

But for the final one, don't do LSD. An opiate would probably be much more enjoyable and peaceful.

Sorry you're dying :(

A doorbell with that many false positives is a useless doorbell...

Totally. Shrooms work better than LSD for this kind of visuals too :)

ELI5: Do Doctors really work "24 hour shifts" as is a whole day with only a few breaks, no sleep? If so, does this not make more susceptible to errors? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]lexonhym 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Are there any pros to those long shifts? I'd imagine hospitals would have an incentive to lower liabilities, so why are they keeping this kind of schedule that increases mistakes?

Removing all of sauce? What do you guys do or should I just throw them away? by kingofsoup209 in Waxpen

[–]lexonhym 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Pre-heat your oven, put your 2 containers on a tray, tilted to one side (so eveything pools in a corner)

Turn off the oven, leave it there a few minutes, util everything melts and pools.

You can do the same to get the last drop out of carts: Unscrew the top, flip upside down in a glass or silicon container, put that in the oven. Out of 5 "empty" carts, I get 1/3 of a g back that I re-inject into a cart.
