For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

This photo makes me happy. Just the right about of found absurdity with the perfect framing.

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

Yep. I love it, too, for the same reasons.

[–] YesButActuallyMaybe@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago

You’ll love deichkind if you only could understand deutsche maimais

Why hold it? Put it on a stand.

[–] legopika@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

And what happens when it falls over?

[–] frog@feddit.uk 13 points 2 days ago

I trust a good stand over anyone holding it. People can trip, fall asleep, or just get tired.

[–] Ascend910@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago

In concrete it goes

Both of these remind me of salvia divinorum (gravity go ɹɹɹɹɹɹɹɹɹɹɹɹɹɹq)

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I am so fascinated by saliva but in don't want to get stuck being a ceiling fan for a middle-aged couple for the next 15 years.

I'm already traumatized enough as-is by too much 25i-NBOMe in my 20s. That shit makes DMT seem like weed. I've traveled across dimensions on NBOMes, but I could always open my eyes to ground myself; I can't imagine how much crazier saliva must be, when you have no connection to reality.

[–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Was not expecting an NBOMe reply to this.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well it's the closest I've had to a saliva experience, the most I can relate. I'm curious as to why you weren't expecting such a reply.

[–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's just NBOMe is rare as fuck and seeing it in the wild is crazy. I'm the only one I know who has used it.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Might be these days. But a decade ago it was fucking everywhere. So many people I know who thought they experienced their first LSD trip were actually sold an NBOMe instead, myself included.

When I finally got the opportunity to try real LSD, I was seriously disappointed. I was like, "where are the pretty colors"? And that's when I learned that LSD is more of a mental trip than a visual one. The headspace is totally different too. Felt like a schizophrenic on the stuff. I can fake being sober on 25i, not so much on acid.

[–] ZeffSyde@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Honestly, that is why some people love acid. It has helped a number of people step outside their selves and witness the world with clean eyes.

Not necessarily something to drop if you want to get the giggles and see pretty colors.

Would be super useful for zero G environments.

Great to see my parents found an actual picture from when they were young of their walk to work..

Where’s the snow? I was lied to!

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

Well, nobody ever drove me to school when it was ninety degrees below

We had to walk buck naked through forty miles of snow

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

this is the kind of incline boomers had to walk to school and back

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

School must be out for the summer, as I don't see 3 feet of snow.

[–] statingtheobvious@lemmy.world 33 points 3 days ago

It’s used as a cover for an album by Deichkind.

A black ski slope during the summer.

[–] Ironfacebuster@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

This is exactly the kind of slope the stair master is DESIGNED to prepare you for!

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Great, looks like somebody bent the ground again.

There is a special Dutch Instagram page with images like this. https://www.instagram.com/schevepalen

Scheve palen == Crooked poles

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

That's pretty fucking racist

[–] Zetta@mander.xyz 3 points 2 days ago

Typical New England driveway.

At this scale light isn’t affected by gravity, keeping the post up doesn’t help the dispersal of light.

Each lamp post was bought from a different city and is parallell to the lamp posts in its city of origin.

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

That's super cool! I was just making a Highlander reference.

Oh I love Pittsburgh!

This is a great photo! Makes you think & physically interact with it by having to turn your head. 12/10.

A little WW1 Tommy on the piss.

Dang that's a satisfying photo. So well composed.

Reminds me of the last episodes in JoJo 5 - Jolyne Cujoh's arc
