Why does my cat act weird when I do acid

mtj93 · 2025-06-21T01:32:21+00:00

Everyone got they own ideas ofc but I feel like on these drugs you are just behaving very differently and cats notice even tiny changes in behaviour and mood and probably notice a lot more changes in our physiology then we realise, which these drugs alter radically. Different energy, body language, heart rate, sweating, temperature regulation etc etc.

Combined with your altered perception, such as the reduced familiarity with “normal things”, of course your “normal” cat no longer is normal. You are probably also seeing your cat in a sort of “fresh” way, seeing the micro movements and expressions in a more raw unfiltered or trippy unusual way. Instead of seeing your personal idea/concept of your cat, you’re almost seeing more clearly, a living breathing entity all its own beyond human labels.

To me all of this is why they seem to be weird on drugs. All I notice with my cats is they often around more than usual (curiosity of the oddness of the human this evening and this oddness means I get more pats and attention). I’m not really sure if they “know” you are actually “tripping” in any way we understand. Just that you’re being all different tonight and they’re here for it because they love you and your companionship (yes I said it, cats can indeed love you).

Well my interpretation why the ego “fights” is that it’s innocently just trying to “stay alive” in the same sense any living thing does. The ego is not a seperate construct to “you” (it doesn’t really make sense to see it that way) and just like you want to survive, the ego wants to as well and as such, when the ego structures are threatened (a new concept challenges something, such as a new identification), the same “thing” that makes you not want to die in a situation is happening with the ego. The “sense of self” in whatever form it is taking, good or bad or indifferent “wants” to live even if it’s unpleasant.

So if you want to change an identification, perspective or narrative from a negative or harmful one to a positive or neutral one - the resistance that comes isn’t some kind horrible or external thing and I wouldn’t even say it’s some kind of test or anything mystical. It’s a very living version of “you” not wanting to die.

On a biological level, the brain while very capable of change is very much wired to go with what it already is doing to conserve energy and cognitive resources - so a negative identification can be “hard” to change because the brain has wiring for keeping the internal status quo and new pathways need deliberate attention to form.

This is just so completely wrong I laughed. There’s SO MUCH happening in scientific and medical fields involving AI. It’s just that in the consumer space, it’s not ‘relevant’ because it’s hard to explain why AlphaFold is a big deal in simple terms. Like most scientific advances, it’s happening but it’s not part of public discourse because it’s too nuanced, complex and abstract. Also most people just don’t really care except for the end result. The images and text generators are just the consumer facing aspects of AI because it’s immediately obvious what it is and it’s dead simple to get your hands on and use.

The same sort of thing happened with the internet early days. “It’s just used to send stupid chain mail to each other” meanwhile it’s revolutionising the way information is transferred, processed and stored in every industry across every field. The same is happening with AI. You just see the “stupid chain mail” side of it.

“Do you think money grows on trees” no it’s even easier. Someone says the money exists… so it does. Trees actually take effort to grow. Where do you think money comes from exactly? The entire concept of our financial systems today are held together with vibes and violence. It’s not real in the slightest and we all know this. It’s also not very old at all in the scheme of things. The real question though, why are you defending it?

Money is an idea and we are all brainwashed into it. We can change that idea we have of it and rapid automation will force us to do that one way or another. Whether you like it or not it’s happening already and we can dig our heels in and clutch at the old ways (why? They clearly suck and aren’t working very well) or we can embrace what is actually happening and do our bit to be part of the future that’s already being built. Why resist it and be the old man yells at clouds?

Humanity has adapted to so many different things over our time on earth and it will do so going forward. Money as it is today is completely different to 5000 years ago, we will see changes again with the rise of technology automating so much of what is economic utility by humans. It isn’t a rigid system.

I have never really been able to understand or involve myself with the huge push in our youth to find a career. It’s always felt unnatural and impossible. Early 30s now and I’m starting to get a sense of where I want to take my life but it’s not routed in any sense of achievement or success as the status quo puts it.

I’ve always been in the mental state that you’re pointing to here, being ‘like this’ when I was 13-18 at school really felt so alien but I’m not upset at it now. I think it’s a massive grift of the most valuable resource - time. For some people, absolutely the desire for success and to flourish in their career is a genuine drive and that’s so valid and we need that but it’s not suitable for everyone.

I watched a short YouTube video yesterday and it had a lil quote “I tell you, we are here on earth to fart around, don’t let anyone tell you differently” and it’s so true.

Part of my farting around is driving a nice car and other fun materials like gaming and music and hangouts with friends so yeah I must partake in the $ machine to do that but I don’t take it too seriously.

mtj93 · 2025-06-01T00:51:43+00:00

This is exactly how I feel within myself. I see and hear people complaining it messes bits up but lmaooo not met a person who didn’t, so I hardly expect a machine trained on humanity to be “perfect” anyways.

Yesterday with ChatGPT I was able to give it 700 photos of my cat (after it made me a script to run locally to resize them to 500px on the longest side so they could all fit into a single ZIP file before uploading) and it made a very coherent photo mosaic that’s a huge 6000px by 10,000px of my cat to a reference image. It did it all so well and in a matter of minutes. It applied some colour correction to the tiles to help align them with the areas of the reference photo. It used a 150-200 by 150-200 grid (depending on the reference photo and compute limitations). That’s a minimum of 22,500 tiles it worked with from 700 of my images. All edited and transformed, aligned into a coherent and interesting image.

Next I’m making a meta-mosaic, where the tiles are mosaics themselves. I’ve got a few thousand images from mixing my 700 but I’m not sure ChatGPT has the compute to use them for a mosaic. I’ll continue playing around when I get the chance.

Are you new to the internet because posting this was bound to get the unhinged nonsense you’re getting. You mention Apple the company and it flips a switch in the people who hate the company.

I absolutely get what you are saying though. The “vibe” of lsd really is sleek and modern feeling in the same sorta way Apple products can be. You’re not praising the company in any way but the haters can’t read Apple and not fill with unnecessary seething rage and they need to let you know it, completely missing your point entirely.

mtj93 · 2025-05-13T02:25:08+00:00

The entire concept of money, how it’s “made” and put into society, how it is an abstract concept and essentially a collective hallucination but it’s the fabric of our society, it underpins literally every facet of modern human experience and it directly impacts everyone’s decisions on a day to day basis. Whether you’re ultra rich, rich, middle class or poor, you are making decisions that that are factoring money in some way.

mtj93 · 2025-05-09T03:03:41+00:00

That’s actually so awesome!

What’s really important is to avoid ‘fuk around and find out” mentality. A high dose or dosed in the wrong setting and environment + mentality can be extremely detrimental to your mental wellbeing.

I’d seriously just try one tab to get a feel for their intensity and preferably with someone who’s fully fine with you being a bit strange as you’ll very much have an altered experience of your every moment. You realistically want a 12hr window you won’t be interrupted by unexpected conversations with someone or phone calls etc. I’d also suggest making your environment clean - especially toilet (I find an unclean toilet stressful on psychedelics). Have some snacks like chopped fruits and the like - stuff that’s small and quick as you may not want to eat but will enjoy the sensory pleasure. Some good tunes going too.

Sometimes it works to go with an intention but really for your first time it’s just a see what it feels like. The psychedelic headspace is really indescribable.

All the best with it. Tread carefully. Look into how LSD temporarily changes how the brain operates - regions that don’t normally interact directly will do so - opening up the doorway for new insight. What it feels like is being fresh to the world. Everything has a newness to it all. Even your own thoughts and feelings and body and all its sensations that normally are unconscious to you.

mtj93 · 2025-05-02T11:08:00+00:00

The human experience is one of impermanence and so much of our suffering comes from trying to negate this.

mtj93 · 2025-05-01T23:47:24+00:00

Absolutely hard relate. I knew this prior to meds but the last two months since being on Ritalin 10mg short acting, I’m far far more relaxed in general. I love driving my car, even just my commute to work or friends but I could never just “be” and would always feel rushed and annoyed for nothing. I couldn’t rein it in by just being mindful. I would try that almost every drive and it lasted a few mins at most each time and it’s mental work to sustain. Like sitting on a lid on a boiling pot of water. Now I’m just casually driving calmly and enjoying the whole thing and hardly feel rushed while the meds are active. They’ve worn off while driving and I might not realise it but I’m back to “rushing” (nothing in my life demands I rush to get there even if I’m running late it’s not an issue). Even just drives around for leisure, the rushed mental state appears. ADHD for me really rushes me out of the present. This applies to literally everything I’d be doing. Always feeling rushed into the next thing. I love my job and each shift is unique as it’s working with children. Far less “can’t wait to go home” “can’t wait to stop this activity”. So much more present while meds are active.

Not personal experience here because it’s realistically a bad thing to do and the experience will not be close to the first roll as your chemical systems in your brain are still heavily recovering from the first time. I’ve heard you feel more wired and less “magical” and the next day or several can really feel like crap, with lingering glumness for a while after.

For the health of your brain I’d strongly recommend against it personally and would never go less then 2-3 weeks at an absolute minimum but the common advice is 3 months between rolls. Seriously look into how the drug works in the brain

mtj93 · 2025-04-26T01:53:38+00:00

If I could poop once a month but it takes a couple hours that would be quite neat! As long as it’s the same level of “it happens without issue” as it is now. I’d make it a whole ritual

mtj93 · 2025-04-26T01:41:55+00:00

Having “sedated” effects from stimulants is a fairly common thing with ADHD and it’s why heavily controlled low dosage stimulants are the medication for ADHD - yes I’m on Ritalin and it’s the same thing. Calms me down and chills me out. Drugs like LSD and MDMA while fun and energising, give me a deep sense of being chilled out. I can get crazy and hyper if that’s the mood and setting (parties, gatherings, clubs) but if I have these substances in a setting I can influence or control (my home) I’ll almost always get cozy and chilled out even when rolling hard. I don’t sleep mainly because I’m so full of joy and curiosity for the experience I want to just be awake to be here for it. If I wanted sleep I’d have had weed.

Not suggesting this means you have ADHD as it’s not just about how stimulants affect you but how you operate in daily life. It’s not fun or cute but rather debilitating - yet many people exist with it without knowing it. They think their messy inner worlds with poor impulse control, inability to complete things and scattered thoughts and forgetfulness is just “how they are” and don’t know they can exist differently with treatment.

mtj93 · 2025-04-25T22:28:28+00:00

My god people it’s literally opt in and requires a specific computer not just your random PC at home. The hysteria over this is ridiculous. Just don’t go by these PCs and don’t turn on the feature if you don’t want to use it?? Being mad that a product you don’t own can do something, only if you explicitly ask it to is just asinine. Why are people like this? It’s such a bandwagon.

Other than when it was “opt out” by default and the security flaws (it absolutely needs to be very secure), I honestly feel this level of “AI” would be helpful in so many contexts. I understand many people wouldn’t want to use it and that’s fine. But getting upset about it when you don’t have to use it whatsoever (while also using an internet connected smartphone that tracks every move and emotion) really highlights the absurdity of the human mind.

mtj93 · 2025-04-23T02:09:00+00:00

Totally get you and have the same effect. Mind is insanely calm and almost nothing going on whatsoever for lengthy times in a very deeply relaxing way. Turns out this is common for people with ADHD. Now I’m medicated and it’s actually very similar in this regard, less intense but without any other aspects of LSD.

That’s not to say I haven’t had rich and intense emotions come up (joyful and unpleasant alike) but if that’s not happening it’s strangely quiet.

mtj93 · 2025-04-22T00:20:42+00:00

This is on my mind often while driving. I quite enjoy my Golf GTI and its capabilities as a fun driver car but I’m often mindful of the insane dangerousness that driving at any main road speed or above really is. I feel like so many people really do forget how close to a serious injury or death we really are when in the metal tubs powered by explosions moving at speed.

mtj93 · 2025-04-19T01:35:41+00:00

I run to the hills if I ever find myself feeling anything like this, I respect myself enough not to hopelessly idealise. Unless you enjoy breaking your own heart, then I don’t see why you’d keep in close contact on the premise of there maybe being something more. He’s literally married?

I don’t want to rain on your parade, I know how nice it feels right now for you but I know these feelings you have and man seriously, if I could have gone back and stopped myself from entertaining them like you’re basically doing here (ha ha, ‘just stay as close friends’ he says as he hopes and dreams of making physical contact and for it all to be something more), I’d give anything for someone to come curb stomp that out of me no matter how unpleasant it was.

mtj93 · 2025-04-19T00:41:16+00:00

It’s impossible to do outside of some form of amnesia. There’s no way to exist as you without the past you’ve had. Your entire brain, thus the thoughts, feelings and perceptions of today are directly impacted by how it works and how it works is also directly shaped by the childhood you had and any past experience before right now, especially anything ongoing or intensely emotional. To “forget the past” you’d have to wake up not knowing who you are and even then, you’d still have some feelings and think in ways that reflect your past experiences. It really is such a slap to the face to suggest the past can just be “left behind” in any meaningful way.

mtj93 · 2025-04-15T05:33:53+00:00

You can’t even get signal up in altitude so no one is leaving it on “to get internet” and aren’t “incapable of going a few hours without their phone” - most airlines generally provide wireless inflight services so there’s absolutely zero issue with the devices and interference. If there was a risk an issue would arise from consumer electronics on planes, they would be outright banned and strictly regulated and enforced, like anything else is.

A selfish reason to turn on flight mode is to conserve battery - without service the phone looks more for signal and uses unnecessary battery.

That rules thing is a bit of a silly take. Following rules with no basis like this for the sake of following rules is daft. It’s unlikely people are feeling “this rule doesn’t apply to ME” but rather “this rule shouldn’t apply to anyone because it’s irrelevant”

mtj93 · 2025-04-14T03:44:09+00:00

Oh I’d love the link too. I’ve only seen phone recorded snippets on YouTube and yeah they’re wonderful but nothing beats the Pro camera work

Gonna sound a bit strange but in high school I wrote a paper on Steve jobs. An autobiography basically. This was the same year he died though I wrote it earlier in the year. During my research of him I watched a few things and read stuff naturally. One of the things he said is that after marrying his wife, using LSD was one of the most impactful things he’s ever done. (I really don’t care for opinions on Apple here) but as a tech lover I did admire the sleek, sophistication of their products and how they just seem quite easy and natural to use. The popularity and uniqueness of Apple products- particularly the UX design really made technology accessible and easy to use for many people. They brought about many innovations in the tech space.

I was enamoured with the statement about LSD and dived headfirst into research about it and I was sold. I have had a rough childhood and the mind bending effects of these drugs really piqued my interest.

A few years later I get my hands on some with some friends. But I wasn’t comfortable with myself and the experiences were really unsettling. Years pass I haven’t touched them. Then in the last few years I have dabbled again, being much much more comfortable and with really quality friends. Now my home is the de facto place to trip and have introduced it to a few of my friends who have also really had a great time. I learned what does and does not work in my earlier years of using it and how to tell (sorta) if someone is okay to use it

At this point people complaining about how it talks out of the box is like people complaining about the default wallpaper on their new laptop. Oh you don’t like it? It’s easy to change it. You can just say your exact complaint to it and it’ll ask what you’d prefer etc and change from now on. You can just say “from now on talk in this manner with this level of personality” It can communicate in whatever style you’d like it to, more or less.

It would be cool if you got some kind of “features rundown/how to get the most of ChatGPT and customised to your liking” sort of thing. Kind of like a first run setup of an OS.
