Hmm if I say that if you add magic mushrooms to the mix you can change the simulation to your advantage, will you follow me? I could use the extra cash.
I didn't know DMT came in vape form. What a time to be alive.
well it’s always vaporized, burning it will destroy it…
but it turns out, with a little chemistry you can put anything into a vape
I'm a thing, Greg. Can you put me in a vape?
Only once.
With the right tools, yes. I could vape you.
sure, i just need a crematorium, and a mortar and pestle…
I suddenly regret my taunt...

I don't know who needs to hear this, but people, please do not take psychedelics and put lasers near your eyes.
Emphasis on AND. Putting lasers near your eyes is a sober activity.
This is true. Laser Doppler Vibrometry and Atomic Force Microscopy are two legitimate examples of using lasers near your eyes while sober.

laser light has this way of enhancing interference patterns as it spreads out, this is why it has weird looking patterns when projected in a wide angle.
This is also probably what the person in this post was seeing and tripping on, staring directly into a laser pointer while high as balls.
It appears to be on some sort of apparatus that can make it draw a line, I wouldn't be surprised if there's some gimmick that makes it actually draw cryptic letters or something too
Do not take psychedelic with remaining eye.
I'm sorry, I thought this was America!
Take psychedelics, why not, go for it.
Put lasers near your eyes, absolutely.
But never, EVER, take psychedelics
and ALWAYS put salt in your eyes!
The dmt is doing the heavy lifting there.
Like the Kumail Nanjiani joke about a new drug called "cheese," made by mixing Tylenol PM with heroin.
If anyone was curious the reason for "cheese" is to turn black tar heroin into a snortable powder. It's not really well known because people who buy tar smoke it or inject it and if you wanted to snort heroin you would just buy powder form, but powder used to be hard to find on the west coast until fentanyl became big.
I was just about to say😅 with enough dmt anything is a simulation. Lasers are just for aesthetics
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?
Did the society became so stupid that being an idiot influences is now a valid profession?
Yeah.
being a court fool or village idiot have been professions too. The problem nowdays is that too many people look up to the idiots as someone to seriously listen to, not as entertainment.
Idiots get clicks and clicks make line go up

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." vibes.

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.
The only thing one could do with knowledge of being in a simulation, is trying to find bugs and exploits.
From now on, I expect anyone claiming we live in a simulation to have a working perpetual motion device, faster that light communication, or something similarly impressive. If they don't, their claim is ~~meaningless~~ useless.
Just because they can't find exploits in a simulation sophisticated enough to run a seemingly infinite universe doesn't mean there's no simulation.
I know, but otherwise there is no use for the knowledge that we live in a simulation. Unless someone can contact the outside of course.

Theory is that the human (and maybe other) brain creates a simulation of the world experienced through the senses and that 'you' interact with that. Everybody has their own simulation, no code to speak of. Drugs can 'hack' it by messing with the simulation and perception.

Where DMT pen
That's just a primed and guided trip lol
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.
Comments all seem to refer to an article and this post doesn't link to any article. ? (edit: never mind, I looked up the name and I don't need to see anything more).
This guy needs to jack off more.
I think we all need to jack off more. People are wound far too tight these days.
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.
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

Dimethyltryptamine. Shit‘s got the TRYP already in the name bro.
Not sure how you can it these days, but I recommend static on a TV over this.
