Do you mean the stoned ape theory? Never have seen it interpreted in that way, but it’s weirdly comforting and I kinda want to believe it now. Makes humanity feel less lost when there could be some fungi buddies looking after us, secretly manipulating us into becoming better beings.

Are you by any chance from Korea? Cause that hysteria about “fan death” seems to be a prevailing urban myth around there:

But apart from people with dust mite allergies and the like, where air circulation can increase the allergen content of the air, sleeping with an fan on does not come with any health risks whatsoever:

What? Why on earth should that be unhealthy?

Thank you! They get trashed on all occasions here in the fediverse and I get the animosity since every corp and their mother now wants to ride the hype train. But I’ve kinda changed my mind about AI since having been recommended two AI tools that actually cite sources for their answers (Elicit and Perplexity). They’re an absolute godsend for the literature search on my Bachelor’s Thesis

They can absolutely be useful tools if you use them right. They’re just quite overhyped at the moment.

Lmao how on earth is this dangerous? Or does this classify as ‘mixing uppers and downers’ for you? Because it definitely isn’t, melatonin is barely more psychoactive than a sugar pill

“good” lmao

Can attest that it works great, except for the dogshit sleep quality, like with almost every sleep aid known to man. (except for GHB and Pregabalin, but these have their own issues)

Lol alright Mr Freud, and right wingers are born out of a lack of unconditional motherly love, or what?

Very well put, thank you

More like toxic/stereotypically male enough.

Get outta here with that racist bullshit

Adderall is amphetamine, the base compound.

Meth is methamphetamine, amphetamine with a methyl group attached to it, so it’s very closely related to Adderall. That small change makes it a bit more potent, longer lasting and euphoric though.

But meth can also get prescribed for ADHD and narcolepsia (under the brand name ‘Desoxyn’) in very rare cases where even Adderall doesn’t seem to do the trick. So basically, both substances can be used therapeutically and they both can fuck up your life if you start abusing them, with meth admittedly being more potent and dangerous than regular amphetamine.
