I thought it was a good fit for this community. Good to know my repost wasn’t just spammy.

Kind of a shame that our fish ancestors didn’t have more gills. I wonder what we’re missing. I mean, we’re obviously missing something, right?

Please babe! I can change! Here’s proof!

Wait, how did they build the snowman? There’s no snow on the ground.

Ohh. Effing is a place!

I always thought… Never mind.

Hmm. Seems strangely on point that Ichor is the blood of the (greek) gods. (Petro- means stone, as in Petro-Oleum.)

Fee-fi-fo-fod

I smell the blood of a god

So they just… f*ck off and die.

Obviously we’d all die but I wonder how exactly. This would make a good question for Randall Munroe.

What are you doing, step stool?

Much of Europe (ie the rich parts) is free of terrestrial rabies because of such programs. Bats really get around, though.

I perceived an uninterrupted stream of fantastic pictures, extraordinary shapes with intense, kaleidoscopic play of colors. After some two hours this condition faded away.

This was, altogether, a remarkable experience - both in its sudden onset and its extraordinary course. It seemed to have resulted from some external toxic influence; I surmised a connection with the substance I had been working with at the time, lysergic acid diethylamide tartrate. But this led to another question: how had I managed to absorb this material? Because of the known toxicity of ergot substances, I always maintained meticulously neat work habits. Possibly a bit of the LSD solution had contacted my fingertips during crystallization, and a trace of the substance was absorbed through the skin. If LSD-25 had indeed been the cause of this bizarre experience, then it must be a substance of extraordinary potency. There seemed to be only one way of getting to the bottom of this. I decided on a self-experiment.

Exercising extreme caution, I began the planned series of experiments with the smallest quantity that could be expected to produce some effect, considering the activity of the ergot alkaloids known at the time: namely, 0.25 mg (mg = milligram = one thousandth of a gram) of lysergic acid diethylamide tartrate.

From LSD: My Problem Child by Albert Hofmann. I will leave it to others to explain all the ways in which this is absolutely hair-raising.

Today, LSD would never be discovered. Guy didn’t even use gloves and lived to 102.

I hate that this is popular. This is a creationist level understanding of the big bang.

You ever use a spray can for a while and the can gets cold? It’s more like that.

The noun doesn’t matter after an adjective like ‘multiple.’ Nothing good ever follows ‘multiple.’
