That’s just a primed and guided trip lol
Didn’t you know? In addition to trains tech bros also invented psychedelics
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.
I still think of that scene at least once a month and giggle!
Sorry out of the loop here - what’s this a scene from?
Dave the Barbarian is an American cartoon series produced by Disney that ran for one season between 2004 and 2005. The show is about a cowardly barbarian named Dave who is tasked with protecting the kingdom, as well as the princess, while his parents are away fighting evil.
Thank you!
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.
Im working my way up intensity to build an immunity. I’m all the way to class IV indirect. Hoping to achieve direct by the next eclipse so I don’t need my Raybans.
When you gain the superpower to shoot lasers from your eyeballs, I am going to have a few contracts for you.
I’m sorry, I thought this was America!
Do not take psychedelic with remaining eye.
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
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!
I never needed the laser
right?.. just a DMT vape huh?
I’m old dude, we didn’t have vapes: if you wanted to meet your higher self you had to use a bong or a pipe
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.
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.
Your reply kinda reminds me of Thirteenth Floor.

Lisp is the true God’s programming language…
Wow awesome cover!
Maybe it’s some kid’s half-assed science project.
That’s so many nested assumptions, lol:
Assumption table
- Graduate student in academia
- Running a simulation for data
- For a conference
- Haskell
The probability value of all four being true simultaneously approaches ≈0%
Don’t forget the sheer, mind-destroying size of the universe, and its age.
Come on, it doesn’t work like this. You can disprove the funny theory only if you give us an even more ridiculous one in it’s stead.

Most of it is empty. The trick is lazy evaluation.
Our telescopes eats up CPU cycles fast, the poor blokes cloud server will come with an unsuspecting bill this month…
Yeah, it uses a simplified model unless you look too close. That’s how you get those funny quantum effects. Although, I have to say, great sativa, dude
Don’t forget the sheer, mind-destroying size of the universe, and its age.
I mean, if it’s really a simulation, all of that would be… simulated.
I know; I’m just fishing out counter-examples and counter-arguments.
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
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.
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.
That’s why we should get all up in each others’ 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.
I’d just sims harder but that’s just me
They go for a swim without a ladder when they displease the elder gods.
This is the way
Last Thursdayism is when they reload the save
Shit, it’s broken again, where’s the reset button?
Roll up a simulation joint and get simulation high
Absurdism is your friend. If nothing matters in the long run, if all of existence is absurd, why not enjoy the here and now?
yes, been a fan of Camus’s philosophy since i was 16ish
Exactly this. Thank you for spelling it out
The dmt is doing the heavy lifting there.
I was just about to say😅 with enough dmt anything is a simulation. Lasers are just for aesthetics
Does Dmt know something we don’t?
Your body knows dmt should deployed at the time of death. Maybe its uploading you to the cloud.
I always wanted to be with the fluffy stuff. Great!
Spill the dmtee
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.
In our lanoratory I remember an warning sign:
Do not look at the laser with the remaining eye !!
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 vapeI’m a thing, Greg. Can you put me in a vape?
Only once.
sure, i just need a crematorium, and a mortar and pestle…
I suddenly regret my taunt…
My son and I have been watching the new season of Wednesday, and I could not help but read this comment in Jenna Ortega’s voice.
With the right tools, yes. I could vape you.
What do you taste like?
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 ismeaninglessuseless.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.
No, but it does mean they have no evidence of being in a simulation.
Which is about as meaningless as saying we live in a universe dreamed up by Azathoth.
Great, I’ve been suffering through Capitalism and now I have to learn that it’s not even real Capitalism.
It’s failing just like real capitalism. Or succeeding I guess…if you’re a sociopath.
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.
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
Slow news day at their office
Remember the dude with the immortality rings?
Alex Chiu? I think that is his name…I haven’t thought about those in years.
No and I’m afraid to ask.
Alex Chiu. It’s not as funny as it should be but it’s still funny.
uwu polyester me daddy
This guy needs to jack off more.
I think we all need to jack off more. People are wound far too tight these days.
This article makes me regret telling elon about simulation theory at burning man that one time
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.
Same lmao
Pretty sure he’s misunderstanding interference patterns
Yeah, drugs and looking into lasers will definitely change your brain, no doubt. Dunno if I want advice from someone who does that, tho…
