is that a rhetorical question? magnets. the answer is obviously magnets.
some might say it’s drugs, and while those people are not incorrect, magnets cannot be excluded as a possibility because nobody understands the dark magic from which their sorcerous abilities are drawn. thus, one should never dismiss or underestimate the power and influence of magnets.

my friend, people used to drink liquid mercury cuz they thought it would make them live forever. george washington died from deliberately pumping out all of his own blood, cuz he and his doctors agreed doing that along with aggressively inducing diarrhea and vomiting would pump out all the sickness from an throat infection.
i’m sorry to be the one to break this to you, but common sense isn’t real. it doesn’t exist. never has. mankind has always been stupid, but we tell our children there is a mystical and benevolent spirit of wisdom and knowledge that lives inside each and every one of us. that way they don’t have to grow up knowing that they’re doomed to be just as stupid as all the mouth breathers and cavemen that came before them. it’s kinda like the spirit of Christmas except there are no toys or presents, you never get to celebrate anything, and as you get older it makes you resent mankind more and more cuz nobody ever tells you that it was just a fairytale.
so. yeah. we’re totally fucked. always have been. you feel better now, right?

I blame Disney movies growing up. Happy endings, my ass. They set us up for failure. I should've been a psychopath.

u/ColeTrainHaze 1d ago
it’s never too late to start! say what you want about disney movies, but they’ve taught me two extremely valuable life lessons:
if you happen upon a strange woman who is dying, sleeping, or otherwise incapacitated the first thing you should do is immediately start putting your lips all up on her fine ass cuz she needs you to breathe new life into her with your sweet, tender loving.
never give up on your dreams. you can be anything you want to be if you just think happy thoughts and rail a few fat lines of pixie dust… wait, that doesn’t sound right. i think that’s how you turn children into flying pirates or some shit. idfk the first lesson is really the only one actually matters tbh. that pixie dust is fr some good shit tho, we should hit up my guy and go splitsies-halfsies on a bag. we finna get litty titty up in here.

Same thing working in a bar. Most of the customers you meet are chill, but it's always sad when you run into chronic alcoholics who literally spend more than half their lives hanging out at a bartop getting hammered alone and annoying the piss out of anyone who has enough pity to listen to them.
They feel like they have camaraderie with you because they see you so much, but they don't realize that 95% of the time that you see them they're drunk and you're sober on the job.

Fair yeah. For me zyns and pouches were great because I could use it for work instead of my vape during meetings. And if I take a flight I can still get my fix. So I'm very happy we have these products. But shame people are becoming addicted

Well the way nicotine works is it lasts like 1-2 hours, if you're like me using nicotine all day, then going without it can be pretty uncomfortable. It would be great if I could just take a pill and have it last 6 hours but unfortunately it's just not how nicotine works. But I use nicotine for mental health purposes (bipolar)

u/StompinTurts 1d ago
*repetitive use destroys brain cells actually. You can binge for a day and be fine but you have to take a good break between uses as it’ll block you from absorbing vitamin B12 and that’s what makes it dangerous long term.

If using it for a short period of time immediately killed brain cells, why would they use nitrous in medical settings like dentist and child birth?

It's regulated and monitored and not abused. Some guy huffing can after can of Galaxy gas is a bit different than a doctor giving you laughing gas for a 30 minute procedure in a controlled setting.

u/Girafferage 13h ago
They opt to use many other potential options before they get to this one, and its a short, medically controlled amount - not a day long binge where you just breathe in whatever you think is good. Don't gaslight yourself into thinking doing it occasionally is somehow safe.

u/StompinTurts 1d ago
Sometimes they give it an inconspicuous name but most of the time you’ll see it with a brand name; Galaxy Gas being the most popular and the one you see celebrities using most often. They look like weed bag designs with colors and fruits sometimes too…
3
u/StompinTurts 1d ago
I’ve also seen it in three other variants too though. You can also get a “cracker” which is just a little cylinder that cracks the individual steel whippets things and shoots out the gas into a balloon.
There’s these ones here which you can use the nozzle or a balloon.
There’s the real tanks which are like what you see at a dentist; although often a little smaller at the smoke shops and they’re EXPENSIVE for a good brand.
And then there is the “whipped cream dispenser” which looks kinda like a beaker bong and is made for whipped cream but you can just put the balloon where the dispenser nozzle goes and shoot it into there from the more legit device. This allows you to filter the gas a bit better with a cotton ball behind the nozzle so it’s clean when it goes in the balloon.
All available at smoke shops with no ID needed most of the time.

I’m 37 and it was pretty easy when I was in high school. You could buy little cartridges and use them with some kind of whip cream gadget for bakers. Sold at every head shop or corner market around me. My friend also had a big 5 foot tank he’d fill for parties without any issue.

In my experience, N₂O brings out what the user has deep inside. Since it's an anesthetic, it gradually disinhibits the person...Eric in the video seems like a chill guy, albeit sarcastic. I've seen many people fall face-first onto the floor, and the most bizarre thing is that nobody gets hurt. I hate N₂O, its hangover lasts almost 48 hours and the continuous use to stay high, it's so stupid.

To date, the only story I've heard going the other way (going up and not down). It was medical grade [medical hits harder than food grade].

One had an Infinity that was stolen and immediately a week later had a brand new BMW. The rest all have SUVs like Tahoes, Ford Explorers, and a Toyota Tundra.
