Is it just me? I can't be the only one seeing it...

[–] toynbee@piefed.social 20 points 4 days ago

I go to the doctor a lot. I'm not young but most of the patients my doctor sees are probably around twice my age ... And they love to gossip. As I live in a small town, they all seem to know each other, too. The most recent time I went there, a small gaggle of seniors were gathered in the room bragging to each other about their stereotypical old person injuries.

One of the first times I was at the office of the particular doctor in question, there were three older ladies chatting in the waiting area. They were specifically discussing their plans once their (presumably similarly aged) husbands died.

I don't remember what the other two said, but one of the women declared that she had a cache of drugs stashed and planned to take all of them.

This thread must look so batshit crazy if you don't know what it's referencing...

Whatever the local legalese for possession of drugs is.

my goal is to do this but with LSD instead :)

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 28 points 5 days ago (4 children)

It was the same idea of Aldous Huxley, writer of 'brave new world' and 'doors of perception'.

Huxley made a written request to his wife Laura for "LSD, 100 μg, intramuscular." According to her account of his death[107] in This Timeless Moment, she obliged with an injection at 11:20 am and a second dose an hour later; Huxley died aged 69, at 5:20 pm PST on 22 November 1963.[108]

Basically no one remembers his passing, though, look at the date. JFK was assassinated on the same day Huxley left the mortal plane on a trip, so the news was completely snowed under.

Never knew they died on the same day. That's interesting enough as a standalone fact, but also given the JFK and Timothy Leary connection.

We always hear about Marilyn and JFK, but it seems like Mary Pinchot tends to get swept under the rug.

She was an artist and the ex-wife of a CIA big wig who had an affair with JFK. She almost certainly smoked weed with him at the White House, and her friend Timothy Leary (along with the CIA's counterintelligence chief, James Angleton) claimed she also got JFK to take acid at one point.

JFK actually taking acid is unverified, but Leary alleged that Pinchot's influence on JFK was making him less willing to back war hungry policies of some very powerful men in the U.S. government, and that as a result, he became a bit of a thorn in their side. He also claimed that the day JFK was assassinated, Pinchot called him and said "he was changing too quickly."

About a year after JFK's assassination, Pinchot was killed in a still unsolved murder, and shortly after her murder, her sister and brother in law claimed they found James Angleton breaking into her home to steal her diary.

Are you saying that Aldous Huxley killed JFK?

Finally, I've been vindicated!

It’s not a conspiracy if it’s true yo

if ever by some unlucky chance such a crevice of time should yawn in the solid substance of their distractions, there is always soma, delicious soma, half a gramme for a half-holiday, a gramme for a week-end, two grammes for a trip to the gorgeous East, three for a dark eternity on the moon.

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I swear that book is the reason half the people I knew loved a Soma coma so much.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 5 days ago

man. I want to die that way at 69.

[–] Lag@piefed.world 7 points 6 days ago

Sounds too stressful and too thoughtful. Smooth brain happy.

[–] zr0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 5 days ago

A nice way to go.

My way of doing it: build a large catapult at the edge of a cliff to the ocean. Take loads of heroin just so I don’t overdose. Get on the catapult and shoot myself into the ocean.

Is metal health by buckethead and bootsy a cover?! Ill hafta check that song out.

[–] CPMSP@midwest.social 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)
[–] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago

Well, bootsy and bucket def just named their song the same thing, not a cover lol

Ok, so anyone terminal, why not do some good on your way out? There are a lot of, uh, wrongs, that could be avenged. Obviously you would have to be smart enough not to be tooled by a malicious person to target the wrong things.

But think about all of these, can I say, uh, mario brothers type targets? Can't go wrong there.

Go out in a blaze of glory, you will be remembered as a saint and hero.

[–] toynbee@piefed.social 10 points 4 days ago

I don't know anyone terminal currently, but the guaranteed imminently terminal patients I've known were pretty much unable to leave their beds, regardless of how they may or may not have acted if they were ambulatory.

[–] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Little known fact: the music was GWAR.

[–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The hardest part would be deciding which gwar songs. Probably just put Scumbdogs of the Universe and America Must be Destroyed on repeat.

[–] ferrule@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

What, not their cover of Pink Pony Club??? 😈

[–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 days ago

It's absolutely a solid cover as are their others, but I wouldn't want to be blasting it on my deathbed.
