That's just a primed and guided trip lol

Didn't you know? In addition to trains tech bros also invented psychedelics

[-] bobo@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago

According to the dude, people with no foreknowledge also saw the same things. "Seeing the code of the matrix" definitely sounds better than "DMT enhances random patterns".

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.

[-] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

I still think of that scene at least once a month and giggle!

I don't know who needs to hear this, but people, please do not take psychedelics and put lasers near your eyes.

[-] untorquer@lemmy.world 27 points 2 weeks ago

Emphasis on AND. Putting lasers near your eyes is a sober activity.

Do not take psychedelic with remaining eye.

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.

[-] HyonoKo@lemmy.ml 34 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe it’s some higher dimensional grad student simulating something to get some plots to add to a poster his postdoc wants him to present at a small time conference somewhere. Our consciousness is just a side effect because he insisted in doing the coding in Haskell.

[-] forrgott@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 weeks ago

Your reply kinda reminds me of Thirteenth Floor.

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

[-] krunklom@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 weeks ago

If it's a simulation someone must be running it. Maybe we could get their attention somehow.

Praying obviously doesn't work. Maybe if we all stripped naked and just kind of started getting it on in a giant juicy fuck pile that would get their attention.

And they could make things suck less.

[-] AppleTea@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 weeks ago

That's assuming the someone running the simulation is even aware we are here. For all we know, they're just trying to model out the behavior of stars and black holes.

If I was playing The Sims, and one of my Sims started showing un-mistakeable signs of self awareness, I would panic and ctrl-alt-delete that shit so fast.

Maybe its better if we DMT-and-lasers our way into a plan before we start banging on the glass.

[-] krunklom@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 weeks ago

I'd just sims harder but that's just me

The dmt is doing the heavy lifting there.

[-] mudstickmcgee@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 weeks ago

I was just about to say😅 with enough dmt anything is a simulation. Lasers are just for aesthetics

[-] icelimit@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 weeks ago

Does Dmt know something we don't?

In our lanoratory I remember an warning sign:

Do not look at the laser with the remaining eye !!

[-] drosophila 27 points 2 weeks ago

I didn't know DMT came in vape form. What a time to be alive.

[-] ozymandias@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] funkajunk@lemmy.world 26 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] anton 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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.

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?

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

This article makes me regret telling elon about simulation theory at burning man that one time

[-] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, drugs and looking into lasers will definitely change your brain, no doubt. Dunno if I want advice from someone who does that, tho…

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

This guy needs to jack off more.

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 15 points 2 weeks ago

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.

Ah, from the picture I thought he would teach us how to read barcodes (which do underpin human reality), but it's just some boring simulation stuff.

Well, a friend of mine took acid with a TV in the room, and it enabled him to see what was behind the signal, between the scanlines, on the other side of the picture. He then saw the message that held the secret to unlocking the truth of the universe.

It said: LSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSD

"Let's see how close I can get the lasers to my eyes without going blind..."

[-] Fleur_@aussie.zone 8 points 2 weeks ago

"yeah yeah the simulation lasers, we've all seen it"

[-] ladicius@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Is that a curable condition?

[-] toofpic@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Not sure how you can it these days, but I recommend static on a TV over this.

Not gonna see much it he keeps putting lasers in his eyes
