    So it’s either a bunch of kids setting off fireworks which was mistaken for gunshots…

    Which is backed up by a shit ton of evidence…

    OR

    It’s 10 foot tall aliens because some idiot on social media thought they saw a blurry shadow walking around cop cars…

    We may never know /s

      I love the idea of an alien invasion in Miami and the first you hear of it is a bunch of gunfire as random citizens just declare war on the aliens within second.

      “Oh my god what’s that??”

      “It’s kinda shadowy”

      “Open fire!”

      There’s not one video I could find of any sort of fight or these fireworks. They lined the streets with dozens of cop cars. You gotta admit it’s a bit strange

      DMT is too short-acting, unfortunately. Florida man went to mall on PCP, most likely.

      If there is anything that Florida needs more of, it’s DMT. That, and any other psychedelics they can get. Having everyone in the state take breakthrough dosages might do the world some good.

        I’ve never done DMT (and at this point based on my medications, I wouldn’t want to risk serotonin syndrome). How short-acting is it?

          That’s cool if you are lucky enough to find them and identify them correctly. P. cubensis does OK on poo, but it does great with just some coco coir instead. It’s a mushroom that loves to be cultivated. The Pacific North West is really the ideal location for finding wild mushrooms. (You can find them all over the place, but there is a ton of luck involved.)

          Honestly, I would rather forage for p. semilanceata, aka, Liberty Cap. It grows in regular grass next to streams or ponds and not necessarily in poo. They are generally a bit stronger but also a bit smaller. With the exception of one look-alike that I know about, they are easier to identify.

    I hate our modern world. One dumb fuck says one stupid fucking thing and pretty soon everyone’s parroting it like it’s fact. Fuck

    Okay, but here’s my question:

    When they went to return the Christmas present to Macy’s, did they bring the receipt?

    Kind of amazed that cops didn’t just randomly start opening fire at anything that moves.

      They probably did, and it did nothing, as in most monster/alien movies. Then the MiB showed up, sent it back up, and mind wiped everyone involved.
