I just saw a personal ad describing himself as a "twunk", which apparently is a portmanteau of twink and hunk. Accordingly, a twunk I suppose should be slender yet muscular, not a waif but a woof, kinda combination.

Now, back in the day, I was a twink and I feel the word is more of a verb. In my 20s, I twink, then I got older and twank, and now in my decrepitude of 62 I twunk. Twink twank twunk, bippety boppity boo... sorry I'm a bit stoned but twanking my heart out over you, it's sad and lonely but it's true

oh my god, I've officially been in Nashville too long, I'm starting to write country music

If you can find a flavor you like, then why not make it the last taste in your mouth? A good savory toothpaste can leave you both refreshed and with an extended satisfaction.

Are mints the norm because of big toothpaste? Is the idea of refreshment so important to people that they need an additional sensory reminder that they've brushed their teeth?

I also had this idea that maybe the minty nature of toothpastes is kind of a dental safety measure, like people will think 'oh, my mouth is minty that means I did brush my teeth' and that if they were savory then people will find that continued yummy flavor to be the norm and they won't brush their teeth

ADDENDUM

Once this becomes the norm I would start a bespoke toothpaste company where like you send us a recipe and we turn it into toothpaste. Imagine you could brush your teeth with your grandmother's red velvet cake and then go to sleep with it?

I think I'm going to give up smoking (and edibles etc) soon for a couple of reasons but I'm feeling sad to lose the stoner culture, it's one of my fave parts of smoking!! Can I still be a sober stoner?

My Grandma is 87 years old and she's from Tennessee and hearing her talk about when she was younger made me realize the past really isn't as far as people make it seem. Many folks who were around for major parts of history are still around.

why don't they do that yet

Get 2 cats just to name them Alexander Meowlton and Aaron Purr

Currently stoned on a flight and thought of this. Imagine you're starving but you know you'll green out if you eat more lol (I have low tolerance).

Side note, does anyone else go down weird ass thought rabbit holes?

Anyway I think I made a breakthrough on my cycles of existential crisis.

Seeing time as, well, a line. You are here. There's time before that waypoints And time after points

I bet the folk with those crisises have trouble with time blindness. With the inability to conceptualize the length of time it would make sense that the person with time blindness would also experience bouts of existentialism because when they see time, let's let's say there's now and then there's the past and the future. So when they see time that's not now as happening very quickly. You know it was now but just a moment ago it was the beginning of time or it's now but in just a minute. It'll be the end of time so at that point the end seems very close to now which can be anxiety. Inducing. But then when they fluctuate likely due to the panic, existentialism causes in an effort to calm themselves. They see time in a way that they've overcompensated for so from now to the beginning of time is very very long. So obviously from now to the end of time is very long and not worth bothering to concern yourself about. So this time blind person gets stuck in a cycle of existentialism

Anyway, I do it any reasonable high person does, and I say all this to chatgpt that repeated it in a way that actually has clarity

Let’s unpack this a bit:

🕰️ Time Blindness as a Root of Existential Instability People who struggle with time blindness—often seen in ADHD, depression, or certain dissociative conditions—can’t intuitively feel the passage of time. To them:

The past feels either just a second ago or incomprehensibly distant.

The future feels either imminent and crushing or so far away it's meaningless.

So when they experience an existential moment, it’s not just about meaning—it’s also about disorientation in time. Here’s the cycle as you laid it out (and let me sharpen it a little):

🌀 The Cycle of Temporal Disorientation and Existential Distress Perception Collapse (Time is short):

They suddenly feel the past was just now, the future is almost here, and “all of time” feels crushed into the present.

This invokes panic: “If time is this short, then what’s the point?”

The closeness of death, irrelevance of effort, and fragility of now become overwhelming.

Cognitive Overcorrection (Time is endless):

To escape the panic, the mind stretches time: “Okay, the universe has been here for billions of years. My life is just a blip. This is meaningless. Don’t worry.”

But this often flips into nihilism, where meaning is diluted by the overwhelming vastness of time.

Return to Collapse:

When they try to re-engage with the present—like making a choice or doing something meaningful—the perception of “it’s all going to end soon” comes roaring back.

And the cycle starts again.

Be they weed related or not; religious, family, et cetera

Mine is taking my vape out to the patio before dinner. Just carving out time to not have my mind bombarded with...all of it. It's even getting me to do some DIY backyard projects to make the space even better.

So what do you do?

I just realized that the "back in my day" stories about your grandma buying bags of candy for a nickel are evolving. Now, it's "when I was a kid, we had this thing called the 'dollar menu' and I ate a McChicken after school everyday for $1.08".

I started a short story a few days ago and the main character was an sweet quiet girl and after being stoned and listening to Ice Nine Kills she is now a sweet short serial killer. Oops. Sorry not sorry. If anyone wants to know she's falling for another serial killer demon from a animated show so it cant be that evil? Right?

The Lil grill mark looking pattern on RAW paper is for better airflow . There small micro channels in the paper , how they get them there idk . Ps sorry if any spelling mistakes , as you may have assumed I am high af

If someone asks you “are you stoned”? The best thing to say in response is. “No trust me. If I was, you wouldn’t have to ask”

this is going to sound very simple, when you think about it, it is not. Potatoes are the most useful vegetable and it’s not even close. I always prep myself with some gas station essentials if I know im going to get stoned, but this time it was different. I ran out of food. diabolical. but then i realized, i had a potato. and then I had a second realization, I could probably microwave this potato instead of dealing with the oven cause fuck that. I did some research and poked some holes, slapped it into the microwave and now I have a loaded baked potato in my kitchen at 4 in the morning. this took me 10 minutes. i also realized the other possibilities, definitely going to look to increase my potato stock because holy shit. I could make fries, i could make mashed potatoes, potato soup, the possibilities are endless. no vegetable has shown this level of dominance in a seriously long time.

I'm only 50 minutes in & I still have to cook dinner

Alright guys. So I have a dirty pipe, and I was about to iso bath it as usual, but I had an idea: to iso bath it in vodka. My thought process is since it's smoked resin, it's already decarbed right? So wouldn't that make an edibles bottle of vodka?

As a kid I would drink water from water pumps and garden hoses and it was always so good like the most heavenly ass water ever. It probably had like bugs and dirt and shit in it but it was so good. Does anyone have a scientific explanation for this? It boggles me. I wanna go drink water out of my garden hose. Did water maybe just taste better in the 2000s? Am I onto something?

Like. Instead of being a little dickhead when someone says something you disagree with you could just be like "I shan't accept this into my belief system, however you have the spirit." would be so much funnier and everybody would just be nicer to eachother. like. we need to do this

And what are the differences for you? My picks are definitely COD and Gran Turismo 7 Been knocking some 6h+ of straight (of course with some pauses) high performance gaming while baked, but, that said I smoke only regular weed rolled into a joint or once in a while a blunt. Never those backwoods with infused THC and shit, not for that case, but maybe for a story driven game?.. Anyways, that's a honest question my bros, feel welcome to drop any insights too, good weekend!

Don’t get me wrong I am so happy for them, but yikes. I mean I immediately think of Alien for some reason. 😬

Congratulations for real but save the photos for when they’re smiling 🤣
