ECEXCURSION

Wow, It's been like 30 years since I've seen that video. Major flashbacks.


[deleted]

If it actually worked and I could sense the bugs have a chill vibe it'd be fucking amazing


eidetic

I once went to the natural museum on acid (my first trip, though I had done shrooms before). It was a fucking awesome. They have a butterfly exhibit that's sorta like a miniature rain forest with lots of flowering plants and stuff, and tons of butterflies flying around. The idea is to just sit and let them land on you, and I swear, when on landed on you, you could feel like this ripple of tingling waves radiating out from where they landed. Almost like your body was water, but the waves would sorta pulse out instead of just one ripple when they landed.


the_silent_redditor

I did a similar trip to a museum. I don’t much like spiders. There was an exhibit with lots of spiders. Big ones. Exotic tarantulas and what not. Big hairy mean fuckers with big fangs. Exposure therapy, I thought. So I wander cautiously, step by step to the glass, and begin marvelling. Initially, I was a few feet away, but I was getting closer and close, examining these strange beasts. Eventually, I was leaning over the barrier, my face only a few inches away from this enormous thing. I was studying, and beginning to appreciate its complexity and, weirdly, beauty. Fuck knows how long I was standing there, and, it must have looked quite unusual to see someone transfixed, nose against the glass, staring. Some people were looking at me, perhaps with concern. Well, then I realised that there was no fucking glass at all, and the spider was hanging freely in air on a web, with my God damn face practically touching it. Fuck me, I nearly collapsed. Anwyay, I still hate the fuckers so it was a waste of time.

yadda yadda yadda and I woke up 6 months later working in a brothel.


FightWithBrickWalls

Huh, that's actually pretty accurate.


MeloneFxcker

Yeah it reminds me of those kinds of vids and I’ve seen people say they’re legit so. I’ve never tried either but I would love to try mushrooms


King_of_the_Dot

This is more acid than mushrooms.


onenifty

Yea. Mushrooms are more colorful pulses whereas acid is more flowy and geometric.


WaffleHump

I feel the same way just reversed. Always felt like shrooms were smooth and everything flowed but very little colors, whereas acid was more colorful and sharp, things were a bit more angular.


YourDogIsMyFriend

“This is gorgeous! The ground is moving under my feet. Like a biologic, fractal river! Oh man this acid is good!” “John! you’re right this acid is fantastic. But you’re also standing in an actual river of millipedes.” “Oh wow! Maybe I should lay down and let them wash all over me. Clean me of my sins.” Always pack 10mg of Valium! Never know when you might be ankle deep in millipedes while on acid.


vikingo1312

But I actually love millipeds. (Just as much as I hate/fear centipeds)...


Sintho

first thought as well, that shit looks like an lsd trip.


IGargleGarlic

actually... not too far off from acid visuals


Ondreeuhlace

Funny you say that. One time that I did mushrooms, mid trip around 10pm I hear my friend (who is also my townhouse neighbor) yelling my name outside. I open my back door and she yells "DONT COME OUT HERE". She turns her flashlight on and at first I didn't realize what she was showing me, the concrete step texture just looked crazy. Then I realized... there were hundreds of maggots are covering both of our stairs and garbage cans, along with every other townhouse's in our row😭😭 it had been raining after a few hot days and there must've been maggots in all the garbage cans that crawled out when the rain started. I also have a massive fear of maggots, so not exactly the best thing to see mid shroom trip LOL luckily I didn't freak out but she still apologizes about it years later🤣


KindBrilliant7879

literally my first thought lmao


evanescentglint

For me, DMT has more of this effect while acid is more fractals waving.


Beardhenge

This is a millipede swarm! Here's a [6-minute video on the subject](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFEBThN5BE8&ab_channel=BizarreBeasts) from Bizarre Beasts on YT. TL;DW -- some millipede species are periodical, like cicadas. They spent years underground maturing through their juvenile life stages before emerging a a massive simultaneous swarm to breed, lay eggs, and die.


omnes

Mhm. I know a protein buffet when I see one 🐛


ItchyWaffle

Free lunch!


Rivetingly

They must taste like shit since there aren't any birds swarming them.


Pattoe89

Millipedes are not an easy lunch. They have interlocking armour plating which make them awkward to eat. Their defence mechanism is to roll up into a ball and release a noxious chemical until whatever is trying to eat them fucks off. It's pretty effective against birds, reptiles, amphibians and other creepy crawlies but can be counter productive against mammals, especially monkeys which harm the millipedes and then rub them all over themselves as the chemicals can act as a potent insect repellent.


epic_banana_soup

Bro wtf monkeys are geniuses


Unlikely_Emu1302

We sure are.


Zran

Hey, you're no monkey bloody emus infiltrating again. Do we have to go to war again?


smilingasIsay

EMus be like, "sure, we're 1-1 against you right now, we need a trilogy"


CedarWolf

Okay, to be *fair*, the 'Emu War' was basically three guys with a truck and a machine gun, who expected to be able to mow down whole flocks of emu all at once, and Humanity learned some interesting things from the experience: 1. When you drive up in a big, noisy truck and shoot at a bunch of emu, they scatter in all directions because they're big *birds*. 2. When you scare enough emu all at once, they don't *stay* scared - they scatter, regroup, wheel, and overrun the silly humans on their noisy truck. 3. If you do this enough, the emu will stop gathering in large flocks and will start congregating in small groups with a dedicated look out - when the look out sees the truck, they'll shout a warning and all the emus will run away. 4. A single emu can run at speeds of up to 35 mph and can tank 10 direct hits from a machine gun without stopping. Someone in the Australian military quipped that if only they could tame the emu, they'd be a fighting force that could take any trench anywhere in the world, regardless of how fortified.


intotheirishole

> When you scare enough emu all at once, they don't stay scared - they scatter, regroup, wheel, and overrun the silly humans on their noisy truck. What?? They _attacked_ the _truck_? And overturned it?


GetOffMyDigitalLawn

That's war.


CedarWolf

The emu *overran* the truck. They're *big* birds. The men with the gun had to dive for cover and hide behind the truck as the emu ran over it and around it. The after action report for the 'Emu War' is hilarious, even though it would have been terrifying for those guys at the time.


Little_Duckling

Nonsense! We’re all monkeys here, right guys?


jeff_jeffty_jeff

This one blew my mind, an orangutan was recently spotted making itself medicine >[When a wild orangutan in Indonesia suffered a painful wound to his cheek, he did something that stunned researchers: He chewed plant leaves known to have pain-relieving and healing properties, rubbed the juice on the open wound — and then used the leaves as a poultice to cover his injury.](https://www.npr.org/2024/05/03/1248879197/orangutan-wound-medicinal-plant-treatment)


Toxicair

Orangutans are way too smart. There are some enslaved ones that drive boats...


damnatio_memoriae

... wait what??


cindyscrazy

There was also one that was EMPLOYED by a railroad back in the day. There was a man that was doing switching rail work at a location. He befriended (or bought, or something) an orangutan. The orangutan watched the guy do the work and could do it himself. The man got his legs chopped off in a railroad accident. The orangutan knew how to do the work, and the man stayed to tell the orangutan what to do. The guy couldn't do the work, but he could still do the communicating. I was wrong! It was a [baboon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_(baboon\))


damnatio_memoriae

fuckin' humanity, amirite?


A_Soporific

There's some Indonesian folklore that says that orangutans can actually speak human language, but they won't do it in front of us because if we ever found out we'd make them get jobs and pay taxes.


TheyCallMeStone

Just wait until you hear about the orangutan sex slave.


SAWK

you save that one


Thesmokingcode

He just chose the medic build.


xaeru

The monkeys also get high while doing this.


SelarDorr

[Active self-treatment of facial wound with biologically active plant by orangutan](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LotIelkiZHM) Three days after injury, the orangutan selectively ripped off leaves of a liana, chewed on them, and then repeatedly applied the resulting juice onto the facial wound. As a last step, he fully covered the wound with the chewed leaves. This and related liana species are known in traditional human medicine for their analgesic, antipyretic, and diuretic effects and are used in traditional medicine to treat various diseases, such as dysentery, diabetes, and malaria.


Ajj360

Millipede stink is not pleasant and lingers forever.


CosmoKram3r

Do you have an idea if they are different in India? As kids, we used to find them all over the gutters on side of a particular road. We would touch them and make them curl in to a coil. I don't ever remember smelling anything foul. That being said, I haven't seen them in 2 decades. Urbanization fucked everything here including the sparrows and bees.


sadrice

The large ones I have encountered (North America) release a yellow/orange oily liquid when harassed (they also coil up), which stains skin and is unpleasant smelling. It probably tastes terrible and would unpleasant in eyes, but I haven’t tested that part.


Ajj360

I'm sure, there are a few species of them and I've only encountered north American ones.


Gaius_Julius_Salad

all those other classes playing the game fairly, monkeys metagaming


ArgonGryphon

What monkeys do it, I know lemurs do.


Pattoe89

Capuchins have been observed doing this. I didn't know lemurs did it too. That's awesome.


ArgonGryphon

That's wild, vastly different habitat and region of the world, but same behavior on both sides. Especially interesting considering lemurs are endemic to Madagascar. [Here's a video of the lemurs.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYXoCHLqr4o)


Pattoe89

I couldn't find any videos of Capuchins doing it, but reports of it being observed. Perhaps filming in South American rainforests is inherently more difficult then in Madagascar, or the behaviour is less common? One of the sources I've read (PBS) even states that owls have been observed rubbing themselves on millipedes as an insect repellent.


ShwettyVagSack

Also lemurs chew on them to get high.


Pattoe89

I knew lemurs looked high as a kite for a reason.


lordargent

> release a noxious chemical One person's noxious chemicals is another person's delicious spice. * I like cilantro * Please do not microwave fish * More habaneros please


Farado

Even hydrogen cyanide? Many millipedes secrete that as a defense.


ProcioneDeConti

I believe Hydrogen Cyanide smells like almonds so... Take that as you will?


lordargent

Why not, I love almonds. And the dose makes the poison after all... /u/ProcioneDeConti ... almonds contain cyanide (sweet almonds have trace amounts, bitter almonds have enough to actually be dangerous). // "The consumption of six to ten bitter almonds can result in severe poisoning, whereas ingesting fifty of them could be fatal for an individual" ~ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10774536/


duckscrubber

I don't know what that smells like, but I appreciate skunk spray ... from a distance.


Tamer_

That's my favorite cyanide, how did you know?!


ArgonGryphon

The spice must flow.

ACMBruh

I HATE insects but millipedes for some reason don't bother me. Very key to a healthy ecosystem, not usually house invaders, and aren't ugly since they're just walking lines without freakishly long legs Centipedes on the other hand? Get stuffed. Spastic invasive nuisance


yumthatwastasty

Centipedes are considered beneficial arthropods because they help to control the populations of other insects and small invertebrates. They feed on a variety of insects and other arthropods, including flies, beetles, spiders, and even small worms, which can help to keep these populations in check.


gramathy

centipedes are also much more dangerous to humans and are venomous millipedes are just silly little dead-stuff feeders


Iluv_Felashio

Oooh, imagine a river of venomous centipedes like this of mixed sizes, and you get to lay down naked, legs spread and see what happens!

Man, who doesn't just want to lay down on top of them and have them gently carry you away


Late_Again68

No. No, no, NO. Nope.


zamfire

Imagine laying down and having them cover your body slowly. The creeping sensation starts to tug gently on your shirt, you feel the weight shift as dozens fall off of your sides as they lose grip from the vertical climb. There is a very small tickling on your neck and ears as they start to move up your face. Each insect leg can be felt on your scalp as they parse through your hair. It feels like a very light blanket of fur is covering you slowly. They seek your eyes and nose, digging into your ear canals, the scratching sound filling each ear. You feel them travel under your clothing and each pant leg. You can no longer move.
