Nice post

well put

It’s possible. Atoms are just smaller pixels in our 1000k virtual reality

‘tis true…at the quantum level there is no difference from all that we are and a computer programm…

My friends none of this is real, there is no such thing as you or I. It’s a beautiful so called reality but we have not even the slightest idea of what reality even is.

Simulation theory, also known as the simulation hypothesis, suggests that our reality is a computer-generated simulation created by a highly advanced civilization. The premise of the theory holds that our perception of reality could be an artificial construct that is indistinguishable from a physical reality. This hypothesis is based on the assumption that a future civilization with advanced technological capabilities could create simulations of reality, with virtual beings that have consciousness and believe that their simulated world is real. In short, simulation theory proposes that what we perceive as "reality" is actually a virtual reality created by an advanced technological civilization.

I’ve been fascinated by this theory for decades 💯❤️

Yes and the best part is the odds. If it's possible to "simulate" a universe like this then it's possible to make a zillion copies. If that's the case think of the odds that we are in a simulated universe versus an "organic" one.

My man.

But seriously, he also thought he was Jesus.

If you like a really good read, I recommend his biography - I am a alive and you are dead by Emmanuel Carrère

Thinking your Jesus is pretty common in career speed freaks like Dick.
P.S. The above is an observation not criticism.of Dick whom I totally dig.

Yeah. I love Dick's writing, but he was, well, a bit of a dick.

Philip K. Dick did a lot of drugs.

But he did say a passage from Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said preceded an event that became reality. The man at the petrol station for those that read it.

The Empathy Box from Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep resembles the internet in some ways. And as for the Nazis winning the war, well...

I saw him talking about this on another vid, the Bladerunner universe was the same place i think and there were lots of orientals in the facist USA as the Japanese and Germans shared the spoils after the war with the germans taking the east coast and the japanese the west...who knows? there are loads of weird glitches which 'prove' we are in a sim...YT is full of these theories, and as they all seem to say, the chances of us being in the one original out of thousands of sims is very slim...good link mate.

I just have to say 'Time Out of Joint' is the best scifi novel of all time and also highlights these thoughts perfectly.

Simulation Hypothesis is definitely a thing. I wonder what it's doing with the odd socks and pens that keep disappearing from the simulation though...?

Mm bop, Hansen,
The album it’s off is a little pop jewel

fuck all you biggaz im hansen proud

😂

Absolute tune! Deffo a guilty pleasure…

Mine 100% Glenn Medeiros, Nothings gonna change my love for you, if you haven’t already watch the video lol.

That cliff top and billowing clothes! Fuck, I'd forgotten about this too! Add that and Peter Cetera's solo career to my list, and Chicago.

ok so i have 2 now :)

You’re winning Frizzy lol

First record I ever bought as 9 year old was T. rex ride a white swan, second was Rolf Harris !
If you want really embarrassing, first ever gig I was 15 and got asked by bunch of friends to go to a cliff richard concert, not a cliff fan but went as fancied a girl. Two songs in realised it was a religious tour, no devil woman tonite.
Still cringe at memory of everyone holding hands and singing allehluya.

No, just no.....

I gave that album away lol

I have electric 6s gay bar on vinyl, doesn't represent who I am or even my favourite genre of music, I just think it's a tune. It does raise questions when someone notices it for the 1st time, especially if they've not heard it, because I then feel the need to make them hear it and agree it's a tune

It is a great tune. Ignore the haters!

Electric 6 were good
Gay bar is a tune too but they had better tracks

Forgot all about gay bar ☝️😂

Let’s start a war!

Start a nuclear war!

I was afraid someone would take it there

Jolene - Dolly Parton. Love it.

On other end of my collection is Ready or Not, DJ Hype Remix.

I'd say my record collection is a bit "eclectic"! Haha.;)

Cheers BB

Gotta love dolly, a clever funny sexy woman.
Her blue grass albums are superb.

Lil bit ashamed to say, but that’s a fucking tune pal ! !

Jolene is never embarassing, well at 104db past a funeral precession maybe other than that Jolene is part of every good collection.

exactly why dolly has the highest q score

Jolene is a classic! Try play it on 33 speed sounds Evan better!

Need to try this

Big love for Hype’s remix of the Fugee’s classic ❤️

Barbie girl

good one

wake up now

please keep this between us

I'm told by others that it's this. If it comes on the radio though you are having Tiffany sung at you full blast, possibly slightly out of tune, and I don't care.

this is why i value pseudonymity

Wilson Phillips - Hold On

dayam

Not in my collection per say but definitely listened to it more than I’d like to admit back in the day 😂 who remembers princess superstar bad babysitter😂😂😂

Saw her live about 20ish years ago. Was great. Have a limited edition Frank Kozik poster (photo added) advertising one of her New York shows. Love Kozik's work from around that time. Had an awesome one advertising a show by The Oblivians (if you don't know them, look them up) too, but that's not near mint like the PSS one as it spent a lot of time on walls in various houses.

Fuck, he died in May. 61. No age at all.

Its only on my playlist because I listened to it as a joke, now its on loads :D

id like to see someone beat this

boom boom boom boom by the vengaboys probably

Vengaboys were awesome, there's a great remix of vengabus floating around.

This?

No, this

Do you know they're actually still doing live performances in Ibiza and shit? Well they were before covid anyway

Incredible, screw covid

Screw the overblown reaction to it that tanked the economy and sunk small businesses.

When I was 6 the first ever song I bought was Jimmy Somerville, mighty real. In my defence I just liked the cassette art. No excuses however when I purchased the Hamster Song. I was old enough to know better.

Doo da Dee da Dee Dee dodo, Dee da do do do! That was too catchy.

I will survive - Gloria Gaynor
Heard the line “Go, walk out the door, don’t turn around now, you’re not welcome anymore” more than a few times in my house, even the kids sing it to me !!!

Probably Kylie - Locomotion!

But to dig me out, recently listen to a mash up mix of Kylie and Danni ...😂

Not so embarrassing but this gets some funny looks when friends have looked through my vinyl collection

Whigfield saturday night

Bee gees

For whom the bell tolls

A little bit alexis - actually downloaded it (schidts creek)

I am a lineman for the county…

And I drive the main road…

Wichita Lineman, RIP Glen 🤠

Puff the Magic Dragon & Leaving on a Jet Plane by Peter, Paul and Mary ( first songs I remember singing with me ma ) The Gambler by Kenny Rogers. Oh, and I have a Chris de Burgh album as well 🙈

Where do I start?!

Ivor Cutler... "Goozeberries and Bilberries" (sic) from the Dandruff LP.
Surreal, whimsical, utterly batty but brilliant - which describes his entire output. Hats off to John Peel... time and again.

this is what english sci fi looks like to americans

YIP

I found a Nana Mouskouri vinyl in my collection a while ago, it was a plant I didn't buy it, honest.

The Frey ~ How to save a life -_-

Only ever heard that on Scrubs!

Actually pretty fun

The Pen Pipe! Just turn the metal tip into a bowl brah

Holy shit! Did that in school 15+ years ago. Do kids even have pens at school anymore!?!?!

I bought a device on eBay that screws onto almost any bottle, turning it into a bong. When the bong water gets nasty just throw the bottle away and attach it to a new bottle. It's not completely DIY but it still has some merit nonetheless. Besides, nobody likes dealing with bong water and it's easier to hide when compared to a regular bong.

People we need to turn our bottles into bongs!

where were you . Back in the day I remember so many times we could have used this. why didnt we ever think of this. lol.. love it. thankyou

When we were little the wikihow salesman used to come door to door with books like this

Not a bong

and this is not the Hacker News, chill.

At least he didn't downvote and turn it all grey

Bit heavy on the toxins but will get you there in times of need.

Thats incredible haha

Consider the Apple Bong.

Dude if Apple made a bong...

It would cost 500 bucks and be worth it

Toilet paper bong is the other end of the market

That they would sell newer versions of there Bong every few months. That cost more then the last one and has miner improvements. Auto makers found it didn't work for them but it has worked for Apple

Dude I thought this but you gotta see the new green one

you mean worth shit mean while we have this https://stundenglass.com/

It would be the most overpriced worthless bong. Haha

If you mean best and don't mind finding some tubing and drilling you will have something that beats most expensive bongs

Cut the bottom off a 2 litre bottle of pop, stick it in a bucket of water, use a milk bottle foil cap to to make a cap and fill with weed. Light it and pull up. Make sure you press down as you inhale.

Ahhh the old bucket method. Takes me back to the 90s that one!

We used to do these with a cheap bottle of pop from Kwik Save, a foil KitKat wrapper, and then go to the local park and subtlely make use of the penny wish fountain!

The good old days! 😂😂

Cheers BB 😊👍

we once used a drinking fountin bottle, a speaker grill (for gauze) and pulled it in a m8's bath ...lmao

Haha awesome

Try, a 500 ML soda bottle + a few inches of garden hose + cake icing socket... voila !! Homemade shotgun bong

Shit that works!

just need a soda can and a pin make a can pipe

Similar to what we done back in the day!

The bottle and small pipe combo is the most quality and convenience I have ever had the high honor to imbibe.

You take a real simple weed pipe, metal or glass, and stick it in the mouth of the bottle.

If the bottle is plastic use any sharp object to stick a hole at the base.

Hold the bottle horizontally, put a straw in that hole and prepare for a monstrosity of a hit.

If it's a glass bottle you need something super sharp for the hole at the bottom, the tip of a strong knife or an ice pick does the job easily.

Water is optional, you don't need and its hard to balance. The best part of this is no cleanup, chuck the bottle when you are done, imagine a bong with a disposable chamber, that's what you got now bro.

I think what you have there is a DIY steam roller, I had one of these and loved it, yes water is totally optional its the expansion that does the magic and water is almost guaranteed to make a mess.

Pringles tube!!

can make joint or burning Bong, put ice cube in base of it..

Delish and mouth piece is big and makes air tight seal on my fat cheeks 👌

Some genius Bong ingenuity here!
Another pro cannabis point proven from this topic alone:

You give smokers a bunch of weed and nothing to smoke it with and suddenly they become engineers! Brilliant. : D

My special skill is that I can McGyver a bong out of almost anything.

Basically, as long as you have tin foil you can do anything. Make pipes: a few wraps, tight around a pencil, seal with scotchtape lengthways. Fan out the end before doing so. Tear a circle of tinfoil, and a pin ("anyone wearing a badge?"), open the back page of an unloved book, place the foil on the paper, and tap the pin up and down repeatedly and you have a perfectly serviceable gauze that you can poke in the end of your fanned pipe.

I prefer not to smoke out of anything plastic. Just seems like we know not to burn plastic in the outdoors, so keep that shit away from your lungs, right?

Fruit has always been a friend for the thrown together party bong. Watermelon is obviously beautifully carvable. Always thought a papaya, with its natural internal chamber and a couple of pipes would probably be viable. Poke holes into the fruit with a screwdriver or, if you don't have one, a pencil or pen.

Finally, you can make an incredible ice bong, but it's a faff. Get two barbeque skewers. Place them in a pint glass, of water with the ends 10cm from the bottom of the glass. I made an inverted kind of A frame with some tinfoil to hold them. If you do the same, keep the crossbar out of the water. Freeze the glass.

Boil the kettle. Use a combination of twisting and pulling to extract the metal skewers. Then, tilt so that one side is facing down over a sink and slowly pour boiling water into the holes. Eventually, you'll have a bong. Make a tin foil gauze. Smoke like a muthafking champion.

Bag bong-get a 2 litre pop bottle cut bottom of,then attach a pedal bin bag to the bottom where its cut of with tape,then attach a length of string to the bottom of the bag so you can pull it to draw the smoke in,then cut a hole in the cap and make a bowl with some foil,put holes in with a pin-done.

Put your choice of cannabis in the bowl when lighting it have your foot on the string and pull up,the smoke will enter the bottle as the bag is drawn out.

Unscrew the lid and inhale ALL the smoke,hold,then blow it back in and pull on the string again so it fills up again,repeat until all the smoke is gone.

You will be high as fuck.
Some call these a lung.

Old skool budget way! If you know you know 😜

Ps - Buck & foil 😜

We have only tried the Apple bong. It’s very interesting

We made a coconut one once, didn't last long.
My goto was
Plastic Plumbing down pipe
Aerosol can lid that fitted snugly.
Bluetack or silicone around the base to help keep it airtight
Electrical tape on the outside at the top of the can lid, again to keep airtight
Copper plumbing pipe, with a connector on the end for the bowl.
Made a hole in the plumbing tube, heated up with a lighter, you can push the copper tube through.
More bluetack/ tape or silicone around that area so it was airtight.
Rush hole about an inch above and to the side.
Finally name it, we always called them Billy.

nice way to get poisioned from the copper

Small Fanta bottle, they're already the right shape. Lighter to make holes on front and back in the right places for a rush/carb and a downpipe. Then use a bit of garden hose for downpipe with a bit off a socket set in the end to use as a cylinder cone. Then either a circle cutting from the metal gauze in a coffee percolator as a screen, or a piece of foil with some pin holes in, or just a small ball of foil. Schmoke it up in style, all for the price of a small bottle of Fanta. 💚💦

The simplest bong/pipe I made was a used can of coke.Dent the can enough to rest weed on and put pinholes in it, simples!

Some of my favourite emergency methods...and I consider myself a bit of an expert...
Pop a L shape hole through an apple, carrott or similar using a kebab stick, scoop out a cone with your fingernail. Chuff away.
"Pin ups" Flip a badge on it's back stick a lump of hash on it, ignite and stick any glass over the top. Slide the glass to the edge of a table and suck the cooled contents out of the gap.
Bamboo Bong - Made by Thai locals in seconds with a couple of swipes of a machete. Scoop some water from a stream and your off.
Papaya stem (hollow with a coney end) straight into a cola bottle seal the neck with your lips and finger. Hey presto. Indonesian bong.
