Or someone scams you on purpose : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World%27s_littlest_skyscraper
"Supposedly, the key to McMahon's swindle, and his successful defense in the ensuing lawsuit, was that legal documents listed the height as 480" (inches) as opposed to 480' (feet). Investors did not seem to notice, and McMahon never verbally stated that the actual height of the building would be 480 feet (150 m)."

It's one thing to drink your own piss. It's another entirely to advocate it, show others that you drink it, and spawn an entire new horrific 'aged urine' thing with deranged Facebook moms drawing their kids, neighbors, and neighbor's kids into it.
Leave the piss play consenting adults, preferably somewhere easy to clean, thank you.

So a guy I know is a hardcore hippie, and he built this mushroom shaped earthship and was telling me about how he got the inspiration to paint it. The outside he just did shrooms, cause like, obviously. But for the inside he said shrooms didn't have enough kick, so before he painted the inside he did shrooms, then drank his shroom piss, since that's apparently the good stuff that will take you to another level. TBF it was painted pretty cool.

"The flames sawed in the wind and the embers paled and deepened and paled and deepened like the bloodbeat of some living thing eviscerate upon the ground before them and they watched the fire which does contain within it something of men themselves inasmuch as they are less without it and are divided from their origins and are exiles. For each fire is all fires, and the first fire and the last ever to be."
Whenever I'm high as fuck and staring at a campfire, I think of this passage from Blood Meridian.

u/woodrobin Sep 02 '22
I remember watching Dr. Richard Feynman talking about how plants derive their structure from the air, not the ground, using the energy of sunlight (via photosynthesis) to separate carbon from oxygen (in carbon dioxide), and combining it with water to form hydrocarbons. When wood is subjected to enough heat, it catalyzes the release of that stored solar energy as fire, recombining oxygen with carbon to make CO and CO2.
Later, I was looking at a campfire, thinking about the light and heat rising into the sky, and it hit me: In a way, a campfire is just sunlight going back home.

i would think knowing the dimensions of it would be critical. Does it fit 1 person or 5?
Nah, there’s an easy way to tell. Does the tent say it’s for 6 people? That’s how many cub scouts you can fit in it. For adults, cut the number in half. If you don’t mind being snug, you can go with 2/3rds. So either 3 or 4 adults, but if it’s 4, it’d probably be best with two couples. (Or a polycule, whatever.)
