Probably people who live near the natural habitat of the Sonoran Desert toad.

[–] stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (4 children)

true. these toads are known to secrete a toxin called bufotenin which can lead to hallucinations and even death.

[–] deranger@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There’s 5-MeO-DMT in them there toads, as well.

[–] stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

forgot about the DMT

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Then explain why when I "buf" a bottle of wine, I stick it in my ass then smarty-pants!

[–] stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

because you're high.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

which can lead to hallucinations and even death.

In that order? Or....?

[–] Grostleton@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago

Those post-mortem hallucinations are crazy, yo.

[–] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Ego death or death death?

Bufo alvaruis. The Sonoran desert toad that excretes dmt. Hamilton Morris did a couple episodes on them. They are being hunted to dangerously low levels and thats why hes a fan of synthesized dmt

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

I mean, these don't seem all that weird, especially since this is the kinda thing people smalltalk about. Honestly as long as they know how to vet what they are reading, they can learn alot.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

For toads in cold climates, they do. Not counting rare exceptions, all 'cold-blooded' animals have to hibernate or go into warm places (like some spiders come indoors in autumn) to survive through the winter.

[–] stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world -3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

some toads, frogs, salamanders and turtles freeze themselves in water. but scientifically, they cannot hibernate.

[–] stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world -2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

BURMATION. I've already told you.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 17 hours ago

Oh. Well my language doesn't have separate words for them so.

Hey Lando, everybody's talking about how you trashed the Juke Box. Classic cool. We're gonna do some toad, you in?

[–] dgdft@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

If you haven’t boofed toad, you haven’t lived.

Now get off my Lemmiwinks fan club site.

Please don't.

[–] stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

ive kissed one of my toads. potato.

[–] realitista@lemmus.org 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I do wonder if this isn't where the whole "kiss a toad and he turns to a prince" thing comes from, someone kissing a psychedelic toad and then just hallucinating the rest?

I fear I contributed to this as I woke up to a frog on my pillow and my idiot black cat staring off into nothingness for 30 minutes.

I've done enough drugs to know he's high af but needed to check!

[–] stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world 0 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

how'd the frog get there

wait

your cat licked a frog

shit

that's bad

send me a picture of the frog and I'll do a quick diagnosis. you might want to bring him into the vet if the effects continue for multiple days. if he's having trouble jumping, drinking, walking, or going to the litterbox, then you want to watch him closely. also don't feed him much.

[–] NotJohnSmith@feddit.uk 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Haha, bless you for being concerned but this was months ago. He got back out there killing things less than an hour later so must have only had a half lick.

Thanks for caring, don't change

[–] Turret3857@infosec.pub 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)
[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Suck a toad, then do some cow tipping.

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

NPR has this wonderful story about a dog who loved to suck on toads. Like, crying laughing.

Where do toads go during the day? Toad work? /j

[–] stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world 0 points 23 hours ago

typically they burrow themselves in leaf litter, dirt, hay, or a bed of pebbles. most toads are nocturnal, so you won't see them much during the day.
