For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

Yep. I love it, too, for the same reasons.
You’ll love deichkind if you only could understand deutsche maimais
Reminds me of this comic
Why hold it? Put it on a stand.
And what happens when it falls over?
I trust a good stand over anyone holding it. People can trip, fall asleep, or just get tired.
Both of these remind me of salvia divinorum (gravity go ɹɹɹɹɹɹɹɹɹɹɹɹɹɹq)
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.
Was not expecting an NBOMe reply to this.
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.
It's just NBOMe is rare as fuck and seeing it in the wild is crazy. I'm the only one I know who has used it.
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.
Don't get me wrong, I found them to be extremely therapeutic. 25i made me stop voting for conservatives. I like the clear-headedness of it because I can sort through my thoughts and deal with my shit on the stuff. LSD just makes me think bizarre thoughts and have wild delusions.
Like one time I thought the cable company had wiretapped my house. I thought the coax cables in the walls were picking up the vibrations of my voice and transmitting it back to HQ. Called them to complain and I thought they were speaking to me in code. Like they wouldn't admit it directly but we're subtly confirming my suspicions.
I later sat down to watch TV, Titanic was on and I kept seeing hidden messages in the commercials referencing the film. And then a dog barked in one of the commercials and a second later my dad walked by and pat me on the head similar to a dog (I was in my early 20s and living at home at the time). Everything felt connected; that was some real schizophrenic shit. I really believed it too. At least on an NBOMe, I realize when I'm being delusional.
Would be super useful for zero G environments.
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?
Great to see my parents found an actual picture from when they were young of their walk to work..
Both ways.
Where’s the snow? I was lied to!
Well, nobody ever drove me to school when it was ninety degrees below
We had to walk buck naked through forty miles of snow
this is the kind of incline boomers had to walk to school and back
School must be out for the summer, as I don't see 3 feet of snow.
This is exactly the kind of slope the stair master is DESIGNED to prepare you for!
Great, looks like somebody bent the ground again.
INCEPTION
Typical New England driveway.
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!
There is a special Dutch Instagram page with images like this. https://www.instagram.com/schevepalen

That's pretty fucking racist
I love these, it's so cool. Thanks for sharing.

Oh I love Pittsburgh!
At this scale light isn’t affected by gravity, keeping the post up doesn’t help the dispersal of light.
"There can only be one!"
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.

This is a great photo! Makes you think & physically interact with it by having to turn your head. 12/10.
New wallpaper for my phone
I want to cycle down it.
Dang that's a satisfying photo. So well composed.
A little WW1 Tommy on the piss.
Reminds me of the last episodes in JoJo 5 - Jolyne Cujoh's arc
Huh that's crazy
