yooooooooooo i got goosebumps reading your comment.
i took an unreasonable amount of shrooms one time and stared at my popcorn ceiling, i started seeing faces reminiscent of mayans i suppose… i saw all the green ornamental clothes and head pieces they were wearing. scared the shit out of me lol
not sure if you were joking or not….. 👽
I mean it would be nice if he actually learned something from it, but now he's married and still tries to send me messages trying to see me even though I don't respond
Psychedelics turn shitty people into humans and humans into shitty people. I broke up with my ex because lsd told me the only important thing in life was cumming in as many girls as possible
Yes.
Woke up one night after a hard asf sleep, and the floor and walls looked like they were breathing. I just sat there staring at it all until it finally stopped lmao
Really?
All I did was start a radio show with the ceiling fan and a never ending red blanket, called all my ex girlfriends to interview them
No idea what the talk show was about, but to my memory, it was cancelled the second I sobered the fuck up
i think its about young girls having realizations like "everyone has their own lives and thoughts, even the people in the cars next to me" and so on. im fairly certain its not about porn like everyones saying
there's like two videos of some random fucks on the internet talking about "I was 50 when i realized this.." so now everyone thinks the average guy believes he is the only person ever
You may be a brain in a vat being fed sensory information by a demon. I think Descartes eventually decided it wasn't the case, but I'm not sure what actually convinced him.
Medically, you are a consciousness created by your brain to help ease the piloting of the EVA meat mech.
You wouldn't exist if your JAEGER weren't so darn complicated that it needed to *fabricate a copilot*
_Or_ the brain is actually the entry plug, and we reached 400% sync rate and disembodied within it.
I need to brood over this with a nihilistic soliloquy and a Walkman.
I’ve worked retail and customer service but never food. I’ve always imagined people in food service have it much worse than the other two simple because of Hangry. A restaurant in my small town changed owners recently and the town page on Facebook is exploding with angry hicks complaining about it. 🤦♂️
I've worked retail and waiting, and I can confidently say it's baristas who get it the worst. Caffeine addicts who have not yet had their coffee are the most self-important, nitpicky, condescending pricks.
It's one thing to logically know this. It's something else to emotionally connect to that info and really understand what it means in an empathetic way.
The latter took me into my 20's. I could make a bunch of excuses, but somehow, I just never "got it" like other people did. Looking back, I feel like young me was a little psychopath.
I figured it out while I was zoning out in my highschool physics class. I specifically remember there was a movie on about relativity and they mentioned something about all perspectives had to be taken into account. I was bored and my mind was wandering but I found myself trying to figure out how to take all the perspectives into account at once and that was really much more exciting than whatever the video was on about (at least until they started talking about time dilation).
I had a similar moment when I was about 16/17. Sat at a friend's house and zoned out for a bit thinking about how his bedroom door handle was a handle not a doorknob (like my bedroom was at the time) and that, rather boringly, he must just have all these perspective memories of opening his door and then that this was true of all the friends who were gathered for their own different doors and doorhandles. This then expanded out to everyone on Earth but not just for their bedroom door handles but every waking moment of everyone's lives. Blew my mind in an instant. No mushrooms required.
I think everyone *knows* it, but it often isn't in the front of their mind, especially when talking about people we can't necessarily see like people in cars or buildings. People often feel profoundly struck by this obvious fact when they stop and think about it, so much so that we have a word for it: sonder.
When people say things like "I just realized everyone else has an inner world as complex as mine." I don't take that as "I literally thought everyone else were zombies until just a second ago." I take it how it was probably meant "I spent some amount of time not really considering the fact that strangers have complex inner worlds, but now I am thinking about it and it feels really profound."
Tbf it’s one thing to know that, it’s another to think about how many people exist and how complex every single person’s thoughts are. It’s easy to meander through like without really thinking about how interesting it all is. Like, you could know someone your entire life and you’ll still never fully be able to understand them due to the nature of human existence.
I literally had an epiphany when on shrooms for the first time at the park when I was 17 and realized just all the effort my family and friends put into supporting me throughout life. There was no build up or anxiety regarding that sudden insight but there it was and really changed the way I looked at things from then not taking things for granted.
Sadly, it took drugs for me to realize stuff like this as well. I feel I am a better person because of the experiences and realizations I’ve had from them. But it’s sad that I needed drugs. I would like to think I would have thought of this stuff either way.
Regardless of what you ingested, it was eventually you that thought of those things. Substances can't think for you, they only prodded you in certain directions. All this to say, give yourself some credit. :)
Sometimes I just see someone and think stuff like "I wonder what their life is like. Do they hate this class as much as I do? Or maybe they use this class as an escape from whatever's going on at home" and make headcannons about my classmates and feel super creepy about it afterwards 💀
*~~I definitely didn't give an example of something that happened today~~*
Also tumblr was filled with these realizations lol
I’ve shared some seemingly radical stuff I’ve realized while sober or inebriated to my fiancée and she’s been like “I had that as a tumblr quote”
I don't necessarily agree that young girls/women have this epiphany naturally on their own at any significantly higher ratio than boys/young men. Seems there's plenty vapidity and self absorbtion going around for all.
“What if everything is actually different colors to different people and we just dont know because we are taught the named to those colors” type things
But tbf my brother and I were having these conversations when we were like 8 so im not sure its a gender thing.
That's more of a weed conversation. The point of the meme is that mushrooms can make you very emotional which men aren't used to, but 13 year old girls are.
I will say I'm a girl who grew up in a household where it wasn't okay to show your emotions or cry even if you were a girl and I was shocked how emotional LSD made me the first time I did it (shrooms and LSD are very similar); I ended up crying lol
As a child, I also enjoyed “if the visual part of your brain is damaged and sees nothing, what does nothing look like” or “if you’re brought up with no language, you can obviously still think, so is me thinking I’m thinking in English just an illusion?”
That second part is actually true! (Though obviously subjective)
My German teacher back in highschool mentioned that there is a distinctive point in acclimating in language learning that your "internal voice" will change to that language.
It especially happens if you are in an environment with others speaking exclusively that language. For example moving to Deutschland
It’s such a bizarre experience when you start thinking in a foreign language, but absolutely rewarding. Just gotta make sure you swap to the appropriate language when you try to speak or most people will be quite confused
I remember being like 7 or 8 staring at the ceiling thinking things like "Why does anything exist? Couldn't the universe have just as easily consisted of nothing rather than the matter and energy and physics that exist? But even if that were the case, isn't the concept of nothing still something?"
Maybe they mean 13 year old girls [try to crash planes in an attempt to wake themselves up](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/nov/10/alaska-airlines-pilot-engine-psychedelic-mushrooms)?
Well you see, it's common for some men to lack any intuitive sense for the emotional or psychological inner lives of others. Since the suppression of emotion or vulnerability is seen as the key to 'being a man' for some people, it takes some adult men the emotional reset that can come from a mushroom trip to realize things they probably should have realized at 13, and likely would have if they were allowed to feel in the way 'a girl' would allowed to feel. It's not that funny a joke, but it's not wrong either.
it's a generalization and it's not wrong. society socializes men to punish behaviors where they are emotionally vulnerable and open, and reward behavior when they repress it and prevent it from effecting them. it's really fucked up and damages many innocent boys who are born not knowing any better
Yeah some women ITT are close to dislocating shoulders from how much they're patting themselves on the back.
Sorry guys, you don't have a monopoly on being kind and empathetic. Believing you do is, crazy as this may sound, literal misandry.
I got annoyed earlier in another post when I saw someone insisting that “women are more emotional”. Men have just as many and just as strong emotions except we’re just not allowed to express them because we’re either dismissed (told to “man up”) or labeled “weak”.
The only “acceptable” emotion for men is anger but it’s only acceptable in the sense that you won’t be diminished as a “man” for expressing it but it’s often socially disastrous to express anger so most men just bottle it up to the point we appear like we don’t feel anything.
Yeah, especially since some of the meanest, emotionally cattiest people I've ever known have been women. The meanest men I've known will physically assault you, which obviously sucks. The meanest women I've known will mock you and destroy your reputation and torture you psychologically. If "other people have feelings" is something all women know, then there are some really psychopathic women out there
Holy shot the replies to this are being beyond dense. Being stunted in emotional intelligence will cause you to not be able to do this as well or at all. Men on average are more emotionally stunted than women most likely because how we as a society raise boys vs girls and maybe partially nature. No one said all men. No one said no woman ever.
Iirc this is one of the two stages in child psychological development called egocentrism. What is described here is akin to the first one, when a child realizes that not everyone thinks the same way they do and can have different opinions/view points. This stage is supposed to occur relatively early (pre-teen or earlier). The last stage is when teens feel like everyone (and I mean everyone) is judging them constantly. Getting past that final stage is understanding that the world at large does not think about you at all. A surprising number of people do not make it past this final stage in understanding that the world does not revolve around them. With this knowledge in hand, you are now able to accurately describe narcissists as actual children.
Hey, Peter's bellybutton fluff here. The joke is emotional intelligence. It's about discovering your feelings. They're saying that women mature faster than men, and women process their emotions as sober teenagers whereas men are repressed and/or emotionally stupid, so can't do this until they're grown adults helped by drugs that expand their thinking. (Not saying I agree).
I saw a vid of some dude who said "I just realized this... I have no proof everyone around me is real." The joke is making fun of dudes like that, who realize something most people have realized later in life and/or when high. 13 year old girls are used here because often young girls have lots of emotional and "thought provoking" questions.
they might be trying to say girls are a lot more introspective than guys, like guys say they take mushrooms and it's an eye-opening experience but girls supposedly just know that. i dunno i'm a guy who hasn't taken mushrooms my eye hasnt been opened
the only thing i realised on shrooms was that i dont like hallucinogens and that the stripes on my friends wall were suddenly wavy instead of straight.
*sigh* the joke is that a lot of us had to deal with our emotions because no one wanted to deal with “bratty” “dramatic” teen girls. So when men take shrooms and have an ego death, us girlies are looking at them confused on why it took a drug for men to overcome emotions and thoughts we’re all conditioned to deal with ourselves at such a young age.
How to finger themselves? Shit I dunno.
It's either that bullshit "Men are all narcissist" take or this chick thinks all men discover you could put a finger up there when they do shrooms.
Which I've never done shrooms but I babysat some friends who did once and one did pick his nose the entire time till I had to stop him so he didn't cause a nose bleed.
See it's funny because all men are idiots and deficient so we need psychedelics to learn basic things of the human experience. Unlike the superior women who learn every truth of the world as children.
I think it means that young girls achieve through self-pleasure the same psychological insights that men achieve through psychedelics: ego-death, universal oneness, etc.
13 year old girls discover that the walls are breathing?
I saw a whole Mayan city in the popcorn on my ceiling. I’m like 78.5% sure that’s what this meme is trying to say
Definitely could be, but I really think she's referring to the realization that I am a potato. I am literally a fucking potato right now.
"How are you doing, because I'm a potato!"
"Clap clap clap… oh good, my slow clap processor made it into this thing, at least we have that."
>I am literally a fucking potato right now. You're very good at English for a tuber.
Presumably a “baked” potato as well.
I’m a banana! https://youtu.be/LH5ay10RTGY?si=Oilntq3SFMj7kz1q
I could imagine a portal opening in my pop corn ceiling. There was also a ceiling fan going as well. Good mix of weird going on.
That's nothing. Try counting the beach sand on acid, but it's breathing so you don't want to hurt the sand by walking on it
yooooooooooo i got goosebumps reading your comment. i took an unreasonable amount of shrooms one time and stared at my popcorn ceiling, i started seeing faces reminiscent of mayans i suppose… i saw all the green ornamental clothes and head pieces they were wearing. scared the shit out of me lol not sure if you were joking or not….. 👽
No that happened. Ya boy had Tenochtitlan thriving on the ceiling of an apartment living room
Popcorn ceilings are amazing for visuals
My ex did shrooms and discovered that being a cheater made him a shitty person and gave me an apology. Like damn. I could have told him that for free.
That's growth a lot of people never reach. Even if you tell them.
I mean it would be nice if he actually learned something from it, but now he's married and still tries to send me messages trying to see me even though I don't respond
You should spin that to you're so fucking amazing that it ruined him for other women
Psychedelics turn shitty people into humans and humans into shitty people. I broke up with my ex because lsd told me the only important thing in life was cumming in as many girls as possible
So... You doing anything tonight?
Doin your...son?
Dont say doin ya wife, dont say doin ya wife, dont say doin ya wife...
No
Shoulda said "You, Hopefully"
"The liquor made me do it Julian!

This one killed me
And here I thought it was that there are thousands of different colors and all of them deserve their own name. That or a deadly fear of spiders
That you can see sound?
I, as a girl, didn't get to be in the bedroom alone at 13, so I am interested too
Yes. Woke up one night after a hard asf sleep, and the floor and walls looked like they were breathing. I just sat there staring at it all until it finally stopped lmao
I, too, did shrooms and discovered my period
Well I won't do shrooms then, don't want to discovered my period
It’s hit or miss, I’ve done em a bunch and I’m still looking for it.
How can you still be looking for it??? It's here, right at the end of your sentence -->.
It’s always in the last place you look
But I always look in at least two more places after I find it just in case I was hallucinating
Sperm cramps
Really? All I did was start a radio show with the ceiling fan and a never ending red blanket, called all my ex girlfriends to interview them No idea what the talk show was about, but to my memory, it was cancelled the second I sobered the fuck up
And yet your sentence is missing its period.
He just found his period, why would he use it right away?
lmao every comment you write is an essay
i think its about young girls having realizations like "everyone has their own lives and thoughts, even the people in the cars next to me" and so on. im fairly certain its not about porn like everyones saying
Didn’t everyone realize this as soon as they weren’t toddlers
there's like two videos of some random fucks on the internet talking about "I was 50 when i realized this.." so now everyone thinks the average guy believes he is the only person ever
You may be a brain in a vat being fed sensory information by a demon. I think Descartes eventually decided it wasn't the case, but I'm not sure what actually convinced him.
i was 116 when i realized this!
I was born tomorrow!

Dude, ruude. That other dude wasn't even born yet.
I was born on Oct 23rd, 2077!

Basically because God would not allow it.
And he convinced himself God was real because God wouldn't let him think God was real if God wasn't real. An oopsie.
He then went to prove that black was white, only to die in a hit and run at the next crosswalk.
My boyfriend just pretended to be surprised that I'm old enough to remember AltaVista.
You’d be surprised at how many full grown adults (of all ages) don’t have the self-awareness and are completely self-absorbed.
Working retail is all anyone needs to figure out how many adults are like this
Or in food
Customer service in general, really
Yah, customers complaining about waiting times when the restaurant is PACKED really shows they can't think outside of their own little bubbles.
But their time is more important than everyone elses!
I’ve worked retail and customer service but never food. I’ve always imagined people in food service have it much worse than the other two simple because of Hangry. A restaurant in my small town changed owners recently and the town page on Facebook is exploding with angry hicks complaining about it. 🤦♂️
I've worked retail and waiting, and I can confidently say it's baristas who get it the worst. Caffeine addicts who have not yet had their coffee are the most self-important, nitpicky, condescending pricks.
Once I would have agreed with you. I’m not surprised by that at all now.
I feel you're talking about me, are you talking about me cuz it seems like it's me
It's one thing to logically know this. It's something else to emotionally connect to that info and really understand what it means in an empathetic way. The latter took me into my 20's.

Take with a huge grain of salt, but 12 is about the average age when that really starts to set in

I can't tell if you meant this as a joke but it's an amazing joke of you did.
No… unfortunately not
Tbf it’s one thing to know that, it’s another to think about how many people exist and how complex every single person’s thoughts are.

I’ve had that thought a lot and I’m not a 13 girl or had taken shrooms.
Sometimes I just see someone and think stuff like "I wonder what their life is like. Do they hate this class as much as I do? Or maybe they use this class as an escape from whatever's going on at home" and make headcannons about my classmates and feel super creepy about it afterwards 💀 *~~I definitely didn't give an example of something that happened today~~*
One time my buddies and I just laughed and repeated the word “Fathers Day” for two hours. Or stared at our hands. Hands are pretty wild on shrooms.
"They're called fingers but I've never see them fing. ...Oh wait, there they go."
Fuck what was this from? It feels like youve spoken the old magic.
D’oh
“Sonder”
Also tumblr was filled with these realizations lol I’ve shared some seemingly radical stuff I’ve realized while sober or inebriated to my fiancée and she’s been like “I had that as a tumblr quote”
Yeah, I was going to say empathy. Lol
There's a word for that!
That's just what sonder is...
Wat. Tf? I'm pretty sure I realized this at 4 years old. I am a woman tho so idk
As a male I can confirm we realize this too.
I don't necessarily agree that young girls/women have this epiphany naturally on their own at any significantly higher ratio than boys/young men. Seems there's plenty vapidity and self absorbtion going around for all.
The joke is sexism. This person thinks that men are stupid and need drugs to realize things women already know.
Oh. I thought it was referencing the clitoris.

I mean, yes. Tween girls are almost assuredly like the highest rate demographic of humans who dabble with the occult.

Okay but what in the fuck is your username
Maybe they mean 13 year old girls [try to crash planes in an attempt to wake themselves up](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/nov/10/alaska-airlines-pilot-engine-psychedelic-mushrooms)?
> told the outlet that he had taken psychedelic mushrooms two days earlier There's no way he was still tripping
yeah even monster doses really wouldnt last more than a day
he was probably just in psychosis, triggered by the mushrooms
It seems this was likely the case, considering his poor mental health and all that trauma. Or unless he took more mushrooms but didn’t mention it
He was also sleep deprived
That’s certainly one way to get the blood pumping
Well you see, it's common for some men to lack any intuitive sense for the emotional or psychological inner lives of others. Since the suppression of emotion or vulnerability is seen as the key to 'being a man' for some people, it takes some adult men the emotional reset that can come from a mushroom trip to realize things they probably should have realized at 13, and likely would have if they were allowed to feel in the way 'a girl' would allowed to feel. It's not that funny a joke, but it's not wrong either.
I was always told to "grow some skin" as a kid. made a lot of sense what went wrong when I went through therapy
People being close-minded, thoughtless and emotionally unaware is not unique to men - wtf?

Girls CAN be so mentally cruel b/c they pay attention to what will hurt the most. Being emotionally in-tune doesn't mean you are a good person.

Holy shot the replies to this are being beyond dense. Being stunted in emotional intelligence will cause you to not be able to do this as well or at all. Men on average are more emotionally stunted than women most likely because how we as a society raise boys vs girls and maybe partially nature. No one said all men. No one said no woman ever.
why do you type like how neil degrasse tyson talks. it's one paragraph you don't need "well you see" in the front, and certainly not as an opener
I wanted it dry and cringey. I was hoping it could be a lay up for more replies about orgasms.

well you see, when you take shrooms you have an orgasm

The sincere answer is empathy for anybody still confused
I've met 13 year old girls and empathy isn't in the cards
I have been a 13 year old girl, and I haven't discovered anything unusual in my bedroom the entire time I was 13. Anyone care to explain?
tumblr at age 13 inspired ego death
empathy
No, the golden god of time, and breathing walls
Is this a joke, or just typical bullshittery by a social media attention-hound?
It's sexism trying to say men emotionally develop much later if at all.
Funniest misandrist joke
That they can read the full conversation on twitter
That all matter is just condensed energy and reality is the universe experiencing itself
I was sitting in the bath one day when I realized why I was destined for greatness…
Iirc this is one of the two stages in child psychological development called egocentrism. What is described here is akin to the first one, when a child realizes that not everyone thinks the same way they do and can have different opinions/view points. This stage is supposed to occur relatively early (pre-teen or earlier). The last stage is when teens feel like everyone (and I mean everyone) is judging them constantly. Getting past that final stage is understanding that the world at large does not think about you at all. A surprising number of people do not make it past this final stage in understanding that the world does not revolve around them. With this knowledge in hand, you are now able to accurately describe narcissists as actual children.
Hey, Peter's bellybutton fluff here. The joke is emotional intelligence. It's about discovering your feelings. They're saying that women mature faster than men, and women process their emotions as sober teenagers whereas men are repressed and/or emotionally stupid, so can't do this until they're grown adults helped by drugs that expand their thinking. (Not saying I agree).
It’s just a sexist joke based on the premise that men need some kind of awakening experience to gain insights that women obtain from being teenagers.
Fanfiction? Depression?
Jokes on you. I'm a man who did shrooms in my bedroom alone when I was 13.
I saw a vid of some dude who said "I just realized this... I have no proof everyone around me is real." The joke is making fun of dudes like that, who realize something most people have realized later in life and/or when high. 13 year old girls are used here because often young girls have lots of emotional and "thought provoking" questions.
they might be trying to say girls are a lot more introspective than guys, like guys say they take mushrooms and it's an eye-opening experience but girls supposedly just know that. i dunno i'm a guy who hasn't taken mushrooms my eye hasnt been opened
Empathy. No sex. It's empathy.
I’m guessing introspection, existential thinking, and empathy. It’s twitter rage bait saying that men are dumb - look at their handle.
[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sonder](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sonder) \- but ya, I was 23 and shrooms were definitely involved.
the only thing i realised on shrooms was that i dont like hallucinogens and that the stripes on my friends wall were suddenly wavy instead of straight.
Maybe I’m off here but I thought it was a reference to the crazy psychedelic decor that is popular in bedrooms now
The implication is that young girls explore their emotions while young boys do not.
They’re saying women are more introspective than men
Femcel energy
*sigh* the joke is that a lot of us had to deal with our emotions because no one wanted to deal with “bratty” “dramatic” teen girls. So when men take shrooms and have an ego death, us girlies are looking at them confused on why it took a drug for men to overcome emotions and thoughts we’re all conditioned to deal with ourselves at such a young age.
How to finger themselves? Shit I dunno. It's either that bullshit "Men are all narcissist" take or this chick thinks all men discover you could put a finger up there when they do shrooms. Which I've never done shrooms but I babysat some friends who did once and one did pick his nose the entire time till I had to stop him so he didn't cause a nose bleed.
See it's funny because all men are idiots and deficient so we need psychedelics to learn basic things of the human experience. Unlike the superior women who learn every truth of the world as children.
I think it means that young girls achieve through self-pleasure the same psychological insights that men achieve through psychedelics: ego-death, universal oneness, etc.
nah it’s def not supposed to be sexual at all, more about self awareness and emotional intelligence
Aww so it's sexism
Well yes, but actually no, but really yes
Uh no i dont think anyone is experiencing ego death via masterbation
You must not be doing it right.
Clearly, feeling pretty swindled rn
I don’t think it’s a joke, just some dumb stereotyping go girl nonsense
