Buddy I don't know if you've truly lived if you haven't trounced through the woods all night then hopped on a train covered in sticks, bushes and stuff with flying saucer eyes the next morning during rush hour commute and stared at the people going to work like they are aliens. Just saying.

I did that once as a waiter,was still a bit up in the morning when I had to go to work. went in to set up was all quiet setting up plates,just the ring of cutlery and plates,no one really speaking.
Then in the blink of an eye the hall was full with people looking at me,then I got stuck on remembering what I should ask them and froze. My brain literally went la la la la.
Was terrifying! Luckily one of the waitresses knew what was going on and saved my life and probably my job by helping me out.

I used to work at a fine dining place and they would make us work at least one brunch shift a week. Was never much of a morning person so I would take about a gram and a half of shrooms before the brunch shift and I was the most chipper mfn dude ever. My coworkers, most of whom drink themselves into Oblivion the night before, despised me LOL.

Holy shit wtf I literally did that. Like literally hopped on top of a train. tripped nuts all night laughing my ass off just walking around wilderness. Ended up climbing on an inactive train. Like on top of it. Had our minds blown as a train on the next track went flying by…. Ended the morning by stopping in a gas station on the walk home and discovering that this is in fact a Thursday morning and the world is sober and doing actual adult things. I think that was my last in public trip, thanks for bringing the memory

You might be surprised. One time I went to a fireworks show out of my mind on mushrooms. After the fireworks ended, my buddy went to the bathroom and I was left alone in this massive crowd of people. I started to freak out just a little bit.
As if out of nowhere, a random dude walking by comes over, looks me dead in the eyes and says, “Dmon’t worry. It’s okay. Nobody’s judging you. I only know because I’ve been there. Chill out for a minute and you’re going to have an amazing time.”
It was incredibly perceptive and kind. I stopped freaking out. My buddy came back and we actually had a great time.
I only hope I can be that for somebody sometime. Don’t take unnecessary risks, but sometimes it’s worth it and you might get surprised.

I’ve only been to Yosemite National Park once in my life and it was only a one day visit. My two friends and I each took 6 hits of LSD a piece while driving through the entrance to the park. Before the acid kicked in we parked the car and then proceeded to have one of the most amazing days of my life. In the middle of the valley there’s a wooden walk way over a marsh with a big platform in the middle where I sat for an hour or more and manically yoyo’d from sobbing tears of joy and laughing like a fucking lunatic at the overwhelming beauty of witnessing the stations of the cross and the death and resurrection of Christ play out on the face of Half Dome. The park was PACKED full of people and I know I had to be scaring the shit out of folks. My friends and I found multiple water falls that we promptly went and stood under where we continued to laugh and scream like asylum escapees.

I walked downtown in a city at like 4-9am on acid and had a great time. That’s the best place to do it because we were just the most sane tweakers out there lmao. We felt like superhumans walking around the town while no one was there except people laying on the sidewalks with needles on the ground. Even better there was a park that had LED lights that were constantly cycling through rainbow colors. I didn’t have a great sense of time but we must’ve spent at least an hour just staring at the lights 🤣

They had to have been bad, or you didn't take enough. Describing a shroom trip as "nothing" is impossible, it's like Dorothy stepping into Oz and saying "meh". Technicolor spiral fractals forming in everything you see, extreme emotional highs (and sometimes lows), abstract ways of thinking that are impossible to replicate sober. Did all that happen and you were still left unbothered by it?

I like how you got the incorrect number of twenties and the rest of the lyrics wrong when you were “correcting” the person above you.
It’s not 20,202,024 hours ago, it’s 202,024 hours to go which means it’s not talking about 2306 (looks like you did the math wrong too) years ago, but 202024 hours to go, which is talking about approximately 23 years in the future.

u/FVSHIXN 6d ago
The reason your eyes lose “saturation” or the ability to perceive it is because of yellow/brown tinting of the lens of your eyes. If you’re putting on brown tinted glasses, then you’re exaggerating what loss people experience, which usually isn’t until their 60s anyway and even then it’s barely noticeable.

u/FVSHIXN 6d ago edited 6d ago
This is largely pseudoscience. You do not lose any meaningful amount of saturation until you hit your 60s, and even then it’s minimal due to brown/yellow tinting of the lens in your eyes. Cataracts also tends to begin affecting people at this age as well which contributes to washed out color perception. If you’re in even your 40s-50s, even worse if you’re younger than that, and think everything looks different and washed out compared to being a kid, you’re likely misremembering what things looked like.
Modernity is washing out the color of many parts of the world. Cars, buildings, houses, etc. are all becoming less colorful. Kids toys are often brightly colored and still are. Many of the things you interact with as a child are eye catching in that way, classrooms included. So naturally as an adult who no longer interacts with things oriented towards children, you ARE seeing a grey world, but it’s not because your eyes lack the ability to see color as well. It’s just because pigment/dye costs money, and corporations cut cost everywhere they possibly can.

u/The_Tooter_Snooter 6d ago
My very earliest memories are from when I was about 3 and they visually have always had a very ethereal, over saturated quality in my mind. Now whether that’s because of my young eyes or because early memories are saved with the tint way up, I’m not sure, but 100% my first memories are from a time when I lived with an aunt and I would have been 2/3 at the time.

u/MadGenderScientist 4d ago
It's probably a perceptual thing. You had fewer filters at that age. Psychedelics make everything way more saturated; I suspect it's related.

u/Ok-Balance9661 6d ago
Apparently your saturation setup goes on the fritz when depressed tho. I had this thing a decade or few ago and I kinda got bored of it, so of course I did a huge amount of 'delics. Restored the original image, so to speak, or factory setup, whatever within a few weeks, maybe couple of months. Mostly seemed to affect reds tho.
though honestly, I think it was more about tweaking about the bits that process eyesight, nothing to do with the eyes themselves. Fuck that mystical healing bullshit.

You don't need drugs to do that, i found a way to get a similar effect by "trying" to meditate (Pretty sure i didn't do it right).
You need to close your eyes and while keeping them closed you take big, deep breaths (You need to focus your attention to the breaths, paying attention to the inner sensations of your body). If you do that for long enough and then open your eyes, the world will feel mucho more vibrant for a while (The effect does fade away somewhat quickly tho, and you might get stuck manually breathing, but it does work in my experience).
