Is that a curable condition?

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 0 points 2 days ago

Yeah I can walk you through treatment. We're just going to need a little DMT

[–] toofpic@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

Laser eye damage? Not so much

[–] redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 days ago

That's just a primed and guided trip lol

If what we perceive as reality is a simulation the purpose is quite clear, to observe the behavior of overconfident idiots unfettered by the mediating tendencies of a too reasonable reality.

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (4 children)

and honestly, even if it is a simulation, so what? do you have a way to get out? can you even exist outside of it? do you hurt or love any less knowing that? what are you supposed to do about it? give up? lay your simulation body on the simulation dirt and simulation die?

none of it really matters does it, especially because you can't know if it's possible to leave/exist outside. as far as you know this life is still the only thing that is certain

[–] krunklom@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 days ago (3 children)

If it's a simulation someone must be running it. Maybe we could get their attention somehow.

Praying obviously doesn't work. Maybe if we all stripped naked and just kind of started getting it on in a giant juicy fuck pile that would get their attention.

And they could make things suck less.

Shit, it's broken again, where's the reset button?

[–] dmention7@midwest.social 0 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

If I was playing The Sims, and one of my Sims started showing un-mistakeable signs of self awareness, I would panic and ctrl-alt-delete that shit so fast.

Maybe its better if we DMT-and-lasers our way into a plan before we start banging on the glass.

[–] krunklom@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'd just sims harder but that's just me

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 0 points 2 days ago

They go for a swim without a ladder when they displease the elder gods.

[–] AppleTea@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's assuming the someone running the simulation is even aware we are here. For all we know, they're just trying to model out the behavior of stars and black holes.

[–] krunklom@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 days ago

That's why we should get all up in each others' holes

[–] Shanmugha@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

Exactly this. Thank you for spelling it out

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 days ago

Roll up a simulation joint and get simulation high

[–] lennivelkant@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Absurdism is your friend. If nothing matters in the long run, if all of existence is absurd, why not enjoy the here and now?

Yeah, drugs and looking into lasers will definitely change your brain, no doubt. Dunno if I want advice from someone who does that, tho…

[–] belated_frog_pants@beehaw.org 0 points 2 days ago

Not gonna see much it he keeps putting lasers in his eyes

[–] Fleur_@aussie.zone 0 points 2 days ago

"yeah yeah the simulation lasers, we've all seen it"

[–] Gobbel2000@programming.dev 0 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Ah, from the picture I thought he would teach us how to read barcodes (which do underpin human reality), but it's just some boring simulation stuff.

Can show you the secrets of the universe using a DMT Pen and...

Anyone else get "Thinking quickly, Dave constructs a homemade megaphone, using only some string, a squirrel, and a megaphone."

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I still think of that scene at least once a month and giggle!

[–] kaklerbitmap@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Sorry out of the loop here - what's this a scene from?

[–] lennivelkant@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Dave the Barbarian is an American cartoon series produced by Disney that ran for one season between 2004 and 2005. The show is about a cowardly barbarian named Dave who is tasked with protecting the kingdom, as well as the princess, while his parents are away fighting evil.

KYM Entry about the scene

Well, a friend of mine took acid with a TV in the room, and it enabled him to see what was behind the signal, between the scanlines, on the other side of the picture. He then saw the message that held the secret to unlocking the truth of the universe.

It said: LSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSD

"Let's see how close I can get the lasers to my eyes without going blind..."

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

Bro is about to reinvent shamanism

[–] Kintarian@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

I did that with LSD 40 years ago.

[–] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'll buy that for a dollar.

[–] wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Here, you want a mind fuck? I'll let you have it for free:

Bell's Theorem: The universe is not locally real (either the speed of light is violable or properties of things do not exist until observed). Light simultaneously takes all paths, and so does everything else if given the right conditions. We just perceive "Location" as a property things have because of probability and the fact that all of the other potential locations have probability functions that average out to zero (not a quantum physicist, so probably not using quite the right terms there). "Everything" literally is "Everywhere, All At Once". The world that we perceive is nothing more or less than a vast ocean of waves within overlapping fields. The interference between the waves, the troughs and crests, are the objects we perceive. Nothing is truly as you see it, even yourself. Also, the force of gravity doesn't exist. Time just passes slower near massive objects.

That's the best I can do for ya. First hit's free.

This guy needs to jack off more.

I think we all need to jack off more. People are wound far too tight these days.

[–] ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 days ago (5 children)

I don't know who needs to hear this, but people, please do not take psychedelics and put lasers near your eyes.

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Emphasis on AND. Putting lasers near your eyes is a sober activity.

The dmt is doing the heavy lifting there.

[–] mudstickmcgee@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 days ago

I was just about to say😅 with enough dmt anything is a simulation. Lasers are just for aesthetics

Dimethyltryptamine. Shit‘s got the TRYP already in the name bro.

[–] funkajunk@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (7 children)

Even if we were in a simulation, we only exist inside of it and knowledge of whether or not we are "real" doesn't actually change our interaction with the time and space inside our universe.

Where DMT pen

[–] tomjuggler@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Not sure how you can it these days, but I recommend static on a TV over this.

Crazy people were spreading stupid shit like this on youtube for decades but I would really like to know why Vice thinks this is newsworthy now. Did the society became so stupid that being an idiot influences is now a valid profession?

Heheh. Reminds me of the guy I knew who did a DMT trip and claimed to be able to see between the atoms and retrieve lost memories.
