Good job with pointing that out. I think you are correct. I still feel the same wonder at it though. Gets me right in the pickle. I like to think about tree “experience” and stuff too. So many different ways to be and do in this universe. Understanding the world through math is batshit wild and I wonder what method a giant armillaria mellea uses to understand the world.
Half of Noah’s ark is in Gilgamesh. He meets a man that the gods are punishing for doing the whole Noah thing with immortality after he crosses that underworld ocean with that giant stack of paddle sticks. Flood , dove with olive branch and all. I think he was trying to help his buddy Enkidu if I remember correctly. Poor Enkidu :( he should have stayed a beast and lived his life with the deer.
Which is also fucking wild. While it’s objectively true Biden sucks it’s also objectively true trump is worse. fuck me dude. I’m a pretty center dude, left of most of the culture stuff, and I don’t gut hate a conservative. I guess the point I’m making is my disdain for that orange fuck and the rest of the current GOP sycophant assholes is an unbiased hatred. How anyone could vote (again, I am A LOT more conservative than 90% of Lemmy, I just don’t have any hate in me. I love you if your black, trans, Jew, muzz, Jesus folk, trees, most insects and all the squirrels) for these evil gerrymandering hate mongers is beyond me but it’s clear it has nothing to do with political ideology/policy and everything to do with hate and disgusting religious belief.
I have found them, var guessowi, but have never been brave enough to experiment with them. Like datura. My foraging skills are pretty B+ (I do pretty well for the species of plants and fungi I am familiar with) so it’s no specimen shortage, guess I’m just a scared nerd :( I don’t deserve the name I chose. I was arrogant :(
Edit: for real though, they are some of the most fun to find. They are super charismatic and seem to call you over to look at them. It’s no wonder at all why people find them interesting. Always beautiful but I just take a picture and leave them alone. Check on the spot later.
There’s a really big problem with this hypothesis though, you can’t just pop some A. muscaria in your mouth and have a powerful “trip”
Unlike P cubensis , they don’t contain the alkaloids psilocin or psilocybin but instead they contain ibotenic acid and muscimol, both of which, unlike the first two alkaloids, are toxic.
There is still a lot of debate on what the actual components of the brew or what it would’ve been or how the mushroom was prepared, not to say that it can’t be prepared in a way to achieve the desired results, only that we have not figured it out yet.
The same that we have not figured out what soma was or what was taken in Eleusis at the temple of Dimitr(I recommend the book “the immortality key” on that particular subject. Great audiobook available too)
Yes. People buy tomatoes. What? I’m glad you got motherfuckers just handing out fruits and vegetables in your neighborhood but you have to realize that you are a special case.
A fun one is set you up a nice little greenhouse’situation (use what you got. Figure it out) and get a bunch of tomatoes started real early. Then you can sell knee high plants as soon as the frost is past for $20 a pop
My life is botany and mycology. I make money from it. Not spend money. You don’t need a accreditation to study, grow, love plants and you don’t need work for anyone else.
I homeschooled one grandson for half a year out of necessity and it went so well we are pulling the other two and Im going to get all three. They were raised in a small town then there momma decided to move to Houston (don’t get me fucking started. Just trust me that my irritation is justified and not what you think) and after getting their scooters stolen, the oldest getting in a fist fight(sweetest little man you ever met. Insane he was in a fight) and the middle one,8, chased around the school yard by a kid with a knife. Yay Houston.
Anyways, now I get to teach them the real shit.
I bought two pieces of the new Milwaukee Packout tool box/organizer shit. Super expensive. Was a bit turned off at the price but I wanted something that stacked. After a series of mistakes the entire thing flew out my trailer and landed in the interstate going 70+ mph. Mother fucker didn’t dint or come open or anything. Barely a scratch. It didn’t even unstack. I spent $300 dollars on a few more pieces and it’s been wonderful.
I did too! Was her name “Mom” by any chance? Small world! Common sense taught me that “murder” happens in pretty obvious circumstances.
Having my own kids taught me that I would kill a mother fucker super fast if they presented a threat to my wife or kids. Learning is fun.
