I'd prefer a "destress" button that would work exactly the same as the degauss button on old monitors. Just send waves of noise across my brain along with a satisfying noise and pretend it fixed something.

Could try ECT?

There are ways to blow your brains out, but I don't recommend them.

That was more of a NES thing

Take a strong dose of magic mushrooms and ketamine to get that experience.

Start with nitrous oxide first to get an idea of what the psychedelic headspace can be like, without having to dedicate an entire day to it. You won't get any visuals, of course, but there's a good reason why it's called hippie crack.

I also want to blow my brains out.

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

My brain is already old, proprietary and full of mushrooms.

I dream of opening my skull up like a little music box, gently removing my brain and placing it inside a container filled with warm soapy water to soak while I watch Gumby. After an episode, I go remove my brain from the container, scrub it down with a toothbrush and unscented soap, rinse it, dry it, then plop it back inside.

The music box skull is just playing greensleeves quietly while this is happening.

You can kick pretty much anything you want really.

I don't know, I'm not your coach.

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sure but like can I kick it though?

[–] dumbass@aussie.zone 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Well, give it a go champ, we won't know untill you try.

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

Well I guess I'm gone then.

[–] DosDude@retrolemmy.com 2 points 3 months ago

Yes you can

I sometimes feel that way about my back. Would've been nice to periodically service the spine like we do with machinery.

Getting blown works the same way.

[–] theOneTrueSpoon@feddit.uk 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I don't think blowing on your brain would make it work like an N64

[–] Tuuktuuk@piefed.ee 1 points 3 months ago

Huh? Why not?
