  • I’d assume drugs if I saw a guy staring at a vending machine for ages. That’s “took too much of something that doesn’t leave the system fast” behavior. Possibly he wanted to get something from the vending machine, but couldn’t hold on to the thought for long enough to go through the process. Perception of time gets fucked on those sorts of drugs, so he has no idea he’s been there for however long. The behavior sounds specifically like that of people I’ve known who accidently took a higher dose of edibles than intended.

    The world is real but we perceive it with a brain that can read signals of it imperfectly if something goes wrong in there. That leads to strange behaviors like you described.














  • Kite flying is not just about beauty, it’s about the battle to knock your opponent’s kite out of the sky by cutting their string.

    That led to ever sharper, stronger threads, some coated in powdered glass, others made from metal or chemical material that would not break.

    Each festival there were deaths, including of children. It was particularly dangerous for motorcyclists who could inadvertently drive into a thread draped across a road, cutting their throats.

    Damn!!!

    Hope the safety measures work because it must be really cool to see.
