    This photo makes me happy. Just the right about of found absurdity with the perfect framing.

        I am so fascinated by saliva but in don’t want to get stuck being a ceiling fan for a middle-aged couple for the next 15 years.

        I’m already traumatized enough as-is by too much 25i-NBOMe in my 20s. That shit makes DMT seem like weed. I’ve traveled across dimensions on NBOMes, but I could always open my eyes to ground myself; I can’t imagine how much crazier saliva must be, when you have no connection to reality.

            Well it’s the closest I’ve had to a saliva experience, the most I can relate. I’m curious as to why you weren’t expecting such a reply.

                Might be these days. But a decade ago it was fucking everywhere. So many people I know who thought they experienced their first LSD trip were actually sold an NBOMe instead, myself included.

                When I finally got the opportunity to try real LSD, I was seriously disappointed. I was like, “where are the pretty colors”? And that’s when I learned that LSD is more of a mental trip than a visual one. The headspace is totally different too. Felt like a schizophrenic on the stuff. I can fake being sober on 25i, not so much on acid.

                  Honestly, that is why some people love acid. It has helped a number of people step outside their selves and witness the world with clean eyes.

                  Not necessarily something to drop if you want to get the giggles and see pretty colors.

        Would up matter without gravity?

        I mean a lot of questions arose if you think at all about this comic, so I get what you’re saying.

          It appears to create gravitational pull in whatever direction the hilt is pointed. My guess is it only works in a certain area around the sword, otherwise the universe would have already imploded from all gravity everywhere pulling in the same direction.

            Assuming all interplanetary gravity is also gone, all stars would eventually travel in (roughly) the same direction but at different speed. There would be some collisions but I don’t think the mass would be imploding.

            What happens when the stars eventually reach relativistic speeds?

      This is not an exaggeration. Me and my family (simple Southern Midwest folk) tried driving in New England in the winter and almost fell off the face of the Earth!

    This is a great photo! Makes you think & physically interact with it by having to turn your head. 12/10.

        Each lamp post was bought from a different city and is parallell to the lamp posts in its city of origin.

          That’s super cool! I was just making a Highlander reference.
