don't hack hungry, guys

So my aunt, when I was a kid, was trying to grow mold on her bread in her kitchen. It was rye IIRC. I learned later that people can grow LSD on rye bread. She died really young. I have to wonder if this is why. My mom was well grounded. My aunt, who is my mom's twin, was not. She had a bad marriage and just seemed kinda messed up after that. Sometimes when I hear about bread I think about my aunt trying to grow LSD.

@Demolishun My wife, God rest her soul, grew magic mushrooms in large plastic bags when she was studying chemistry in college. I'm not sure how she did it. Something about moisture. Possibly cow shit too, but she never mentioned that part. Anyway, the harvest was magnificent.

@Demolishun did checked it toi be sure but its nearly impossible to die on LSD. It requires way more than you would normally do to trip on.

@Liebranca they're easy to grow. in theory. So easy, they will even give you a new box ( of 30 euros) if they fail. I tried two times, two times failure. Those grow boxes have an expiry date, that's why it is expensive to sell it, a lot has to be thrown away. My theory is that I just got expired boxes. It was long ago, didn't check it back then. But i tried 8 fresh ones before they became illegal. Now only legal if you grow yourself. Next item on the list to grow is ephedra, found a way to get it

@retoor I don't think she died from that. It was just the whole weirdness and not taking care of herself. I think the LSD stuff was just the stuff I noticed as a kid. It took my mom another 40 years to die after that.

@retoor the bread is ergot and you can die from that

@Demolishun oh ok so she just went crazy

I think it happens if someone has some kind of deficiency and their body can't keep up with the neurogenesis the drugs are asking the body to be able to grow

like apparently certain forms of schizophrenia are cured by high dose b3 or by giving people iodine. I had a friend from childhood, my best friend, and in adulthood she went crazy... psychosis unspecified. she was thrown around the Canadian medical system and I don't know what happened to her. she was paranoid of her family and they were pretty mean to her, but eventually she became paranoid of even me and I haven't spoken to her in years, if she's even still out there

Thank you Wizard James for helping me recover my stolen baguettes

"You aren't you when you're hungry"

@12bitfloat this sounds like a lead in to a dad joke. Hi "hungry" I am dad.

@retoor apparently you were right that I only visit once ever four days.

The bread thing is someones epic idea of a prank.

I guess they better get to making that bread!

@Demolishun your aunt was totally fucking wild by the way.
