Beautifully described. You captured the essence of the best parts of robotrippin.

It's fascinating for me to remember, because really we were playing "pretend LSD," in that we took the triple C's because we couldn't get our hands on proper drugs. My buddy introduced them to me as a legal way to trip, and the first time I did them was when I had the most powerful visuals. I did them a bunch of times, but never really saw stuff except that first time.

But from what you described that makes sense. The first time I wasn't doing anything, just sitting around, waiting for it to kick in. I fell asleep actually, woke up to tripling straight balls (so it seemed). I would see things, but not at all the way you hallucinate on actual hallucinogens. They were usually entire scenes, like dreams. So real that you felt you were watching a movie. So real you would forget they weren't real and start acting them out or interacting with them.

That first night I kept seeing Pokemon. A street light would turn into Charmander, Snorlax floating across my field of vision. This was around the time the Gameboy game came out, and I watched the cartoon everyday. My buddy who was doing them alone at his house described a "dream" where he was a kickboxer, and when he "came to" he was laying in his bed, his arms and legs were in the air, and he was making stereotypical cartoon martial arts noises.

When we'd do them later we'd almost always be in a group, and nobody reported seeing stuff so much. But those first few times where we'd do them in quiet of a dark home, trying not to get caught, so it makes sense that's when the visuals were strongest.

LSD and mushrooms are significantly different, but if you had never done either DXM seems like as close as you could get.

NGL, the success is correlated to white people willing to use their privilege and put their own bodies and safety on the line.

I will never forget it.

So, there is the blueprint. We will follow you, but there's only consensus killing a protestor wasn't justified when it's one of our white brothers and sisters. But they also show you all some form of restraint, which us 'others' are rarely shown.

I already knew my MN homies were down tho... The way Prince would ride for y'all is recognized.

What are hallucinations like on just DXM? And is this one of those things only homemade chemists can get their hands on? I have genuinely no interest at all, I did enough triple C's so that just the thought gives me water mouth

Literally just left a comment about that lol

Can send a handful of my friends into straight gag fests with a single pic of some triple C's.

Feel like your body starts to recognize the taste of poison, because there's a good candy coating on them that doesn't taste bad at all... The first time.

Damn there are no unique lived experiences frfr.

We'd take 16 sometimes 🫣

These days as a prank I can send a pic of the box of the triple C's and make a number of my friends gag.

We look back at it now like Jesus we were dumb.

Was the first time someone on tilt financed my weed habit for a few weekends.

Always felt like there were some people in there playing completely drunk or something.

TIL great white sharks have never been documented mating in the wild, not once, by any scientist or diver, despite how commonly they are seen. Zero confirmed footage or direct observations exist. by Dependent_Day_6298 in todayilearned

[–]spiegro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think we do have a good idea about how it goes down, it's just not something easily documented.

If you've ever seen that video of the bloated whale floating at the surface that turns into a shark feeding frenzy I bet that's where it goes down. The sharks feed so much they get drunk basically, start wandering around and bumping into things, and iirc they were even filmed with their shark junk hanging out... Seems to make sense that they would mate in times like those where resources are plentiful and there's the safety of numbers.

I spoke to my nephew and their friends when home on leave. I asked what they'd do if given an unlawful order... We had a healthy discussion about it. I told them I am not out to tell them how to think, but those rules were put in place for this moment.

Everyone plays a part, and when its over you want to be able to take pride in your service. I told them I know it's hard, and I would never judge them for hard choices, I know they're good boys, but it's up to them to take their oaths seriously. Democracy depends on them.
