#nitrous gas

[ladykissingfish]

Bro i got my teeth pulled today. Got me thinkin how each akatsuki would vibe out on nitrous gas. Any thoughts?

Wow this is a dangerous and hilarious situation to put the Akatsuki in.

Itachi and Konan: Will not stop giggling. Will seriously burst out laughing at anything, even shit that's downright stupid. Surprisingly this makes Itachi scary AF to the rest of the group because this guy never EVER smiles, let alone laughs like this. But with Konan, they think it's adorable. They'll all tell her countless jokes or make stupid faces or do tricks to get to hear her giggles and snorts and laughs.

Deidara and Hidan: Both of these fuckers are sweating like pigs and become increasingly paranoid. Tobi comes up behind Deidara to ask him something and Deidara nearly kamikazes his head clean off. Hidan is doing these intense internal (quickly becoming out-loud) monologues about Lord Jashin. "Man, what if my religion is fake? What if Kakuzu is right? HOLY SHIT WHAT IF KAKUZU IS JASHIN AND HE'S BEEN TESTING ME THIS WHOLE TIME?!" Both of them eventually dissolve into tears and have to be put to bed by their respective partners.

Zetsu and Sasori: Honestly, the gas doesn't effect them. Zetsu is essentially two beings living in one body, so while one deals with the possible effects of the gas, the other is completely normal, which balances them out. And Sasori is a damn puppet. His body is literally full to the brim with various poisons and toxins. Nitrous gas is about as dangerous to him as sunshine is to a flower.

Kisame: Doesn't effect him that much, but it gives him a really bad headache. Kisame's cure for headaches (and pretty much anything else) is to go for a long swim. Because of this, he loves to get procedures done that involve being put on the gas, because he knows that afterwards he'll have a solid excuse to indulge in his most favorite of hobbies.

Kakuzu: Finds it hard as hell to breathe. Can only take the gas in very small doses. Hidan likes when Kakuzu is off it it because it gives him an excuse to be his "savior". "Oi, old bastard, ya still can't breathe? Let me give ya some mouth to mouth" -- and a long make-out session ensues. Not that Kakuzu is complaining.

Nagato: You gotta be careful of anything you give this man. He's all skin and bones and any sort of chemical put into his body can have some pretty adverse affects. But surprisingly nitrous gas doesn't effect him in a nagative way. He coughs a bit at first, but when it subsides, he's ... calm. Peaceful. Can start thinking of the world in a more positive light. "Hmm, maybe it was wrong for me to recruit all these guys into this group for my own selfish desires. Maybe I should disband the Akatsuki and leave them all free to pursue what makes them happy. Maybe --" And then the gas wears off and he immediately shakes off his foolish thoughts.

Tobi/Obito: Mr Mask becomes Mr. Confessional. His mouth opens and words come pouring out. About his past in Konoha. His life with Minato and Kakashi and Rin. His time with Madara. The event(s) that led him to help Nagato form the Akatsuki. "I'm just ... I'm so sorry, you guys. I never wanted this. All I want is to have a nice little house on a riverbank, fish, and spend time with Deidara. Deidara, you're really handsome by the way. You should be my husband. You would look GREAT with the Uchiha fan on your back." If Nagato or Konan are around, they try to stop him. But it's really not necessary; the others don't believe a word of what "Tobi" is saying. They think he just can't handle the gas and is hallucinating some pretty bizarre shit.

[calliemity]

craziest thing about going to a good dentist for once is finding out that i have been getting overdosed on laughing gas my entire life, and the symptoms i thought were normal were overdose symptoms. so now i have to reevaluate what orin's experience on nitrous would be like, because APPARENTLY feeling like youre floating and like your hands are made of static means you are getting way too much. insane

Your Great-Grandparents Huffed Laughing Gas, And People Paid To See Them Trip

For the height of entertainment, early Cincinnatians enjoyed dropping by one of the local museums to watch their fellow citizens get stoned. The intoxicating agent was not cannabis or opium or shrooms, although all were readily available, but nitrous oxide or “laughing gas.”

The Western Museum started the trend. Founded in 1818 as one of the earliest scientific museums in the United States, the Western Museum is the ancestor of our Museum Center at Union Terminal. Regardless of its heritage, the institution struggled throughout its existence. Although stocked with fossils, minerals, Native American artifacts and animal specimens, the most popular attractions were grotesque wax figures and monstrosities like two-headed piglets and eight-legged lambs.

The museum directors, Robert Best and Joseph Dorfeuille, soon learned that lectures on scientific topics sold more tickets if they tacked a laughing gas demonstration onto the end of the program. An advertisement in the Liberty Hall and Cincinnati Gazette [30 November 1822] is typical:

“Messrs. Best and Dorfeuille will lecture on various departments of Natural History, and Natural Science, the latter to be illustrated by a great variety of amusing and instructing experiments; among others, they will frequently repeat the administration of the Nitrous Oxide, which has always proved in so high a degree interesting.”

By 1834, the Western Museum had replaced laughing gas with a waxworks replica of Dante’s Inferno, and found a young man to spice up the infernal regions with flashpots and fireworks. His name was Samuel Colt, and he would later build a huge firearms company. While he lived in Cincinnati, however, Colt was a 20-year-old hustler fascinated by laughing gas. He billed himself as “the Celebrated Dr. Coult of New York, London and Calcutta,” and pumped nitrous oxide into anyone who paid for a ticket. His on-stage antics here made news far away. The Albany, New York, Argus [30 July 1833] reported:

“A certain Dr. Coult is administering the nitrous oxyde gas at Cincinnati, and by way of making the entertainment ‘peculiarly attractive,’ the gas is inhaled by a ‘curiously deformed black man.’”

The Daily Cincinnati Republican & Commercial Register [6 November 1834] assured readers that Dr. Coult’s exhibitions at Frederick Frank’s art gallery on Front Street contained “not the least shade of impropriety,” and insisted – no matter how entertaining the effects – this was all about science:

“Dr. Coult’s exhibition presents some of the most pleasing and laughable scenes one can well imagine. – Although the peculiar effects of Nitrous Oxide keeps the audience in a state of almost continual merriment, yet there is a great chance for the learned and curious to exhaust all their wits in sober contemplation of the effects of Nitrous Oxide upon the human system.”

Although nitrous oxide had been known and described by English scientists in the 1700s, the gas remained a psychotropic curiosity until its anesthetic properties were discovered in the 1840s. Its potential as an pain reliever was discovered during an on-stage performance by a medical school dropout named Gardner Quincy Colton. Although Colton later built a dental empire by promoting laughing gas for tooth extractions, he stuck with his profitable stage shows for years. In October 1847, Colton filled the auditorium of Cincinnati’s Melodeon Hall over several nights and the Cincinnati Commercial [2 October 1847] reported on the effects of his laughing gas on some selected subjects.

“The effects were different upon different individuals. “A. after the gas bag was removed from his lips, he stood for a moment, staggered about the stage, and finally fell to the floor. “B. commenced dancing a regular hoe-down with arms and legs in the most violent motion, leaping with all his might into the air, and exhibiting the most tremendous strength. This he continued until the excitement wore off. “C., a young merchant on Liberty street, of slight build, at some imaginary insult became enraged and commenced a furious battle upon those on the stage. Small as he was, it took five or six stout men to hold him until the effects of the gas passed away.”

Another subject was rendered “wonderfully polite and self-complacent” and wandered about the stage, rubbing his hands and bowing to the audience, while the next man up erupted in “silly laughter” while staring dumbly at the assembled onlookers. One young lawyer inhaled deeply, then stood in the most erect posture and recited a poem by William Cullen Bryant. According to the Commercial:

“The effects of the Gas lasted from two to five minutes, and seemed to pass off suddenly, dropping the taker of it down from the highest heaven to earth in an instant. We do not know why this gas should be called laughing gas. Most of the persons who took it on Tuesday evening were most solemnly serious. The whole performance passed off remarkably well, nothing occurring of the least unpleasant nature.”

Twenty years later, Doctor Colton was quite successful with his dental franchises, but still presented public demonstrations. On his 1866 tour through the Queen City, Colton not only recruited women as his subjects, but used them to promote his dental practice. An advertisement in the Cincinnati Gazette [17 April 1866] provides a rather shocking description of his show:

“On the above occasion, after the lecture, twelve ladies will inhale the gas, showing its amusing effects. Breathed in small doses, it exhilarates and develops the character. After which Dr. C. will administer it to several ladies in larger doses, producing profound anesthetic sleep during which he will extract their teeth without their knowledge. He will demonstrate that he has ‘a blessing’ to offer to the citizens of Cincinnati.”

Inevitably, once society latches onto some new exhilarant, reports emerge that insanity lurks within the depths of recreational chemistry. Call it the “Reefer Madness” effect. A Mrs. John Boyer of Cumminsville was sent to Cincinnati’s Longview Hospital for the insane in 1871 after weeks of increasingly erratic behavior were attributed to getting a tooth pulled by a Sixth-Street dentist using laughing gas. In 1867, the death of a Mrs. Bolum on Accommodation Street was found, on the result of autopsy, to have been caused by a strangulated hernia, but her family insisted it was dental nitrous oxide. And the Cincinnati Star [30 September 1876] carried this squib:

“There’s a young woman living in Glendale who, her relatives say, has become mildly insane by the use of laughing gas.”

Wasn’t that the whole point of huffing it anyway?

Excerpt from this story from Inside Climate News:

As scientists, policymakers and environmental advocates seek to accelerate efforts to address climate change, they’re zeroing in on a pollutant long considered the “forgotten greenhouse gas.” 

The third-largest driver of climate change and the leading source of atmospheric ozone depletion, nitrous oxide was center stage Wednesday night at Climate Week, one of the world’s largest annual events dealing with the climate crisis. The N2O talk, at New York University, focused on the growing impacts of that pollution and the potential levers that could be pulled to curb it.   

The presentations came amid ongoing bilateral discussions between the U.S. and China—countries that collectively account for about a third of the world’s N2O pollution—on how to reduce these emissions.

“This is about meeting a moment that nitrous oxide has finally had in terms of both the policy and scientific interest in it,” said David Kanter, an environmental studies professor at NYU and co-chair of a global assessment on nitrous oxide by the United Nations’ Climate and Clean Air Coalition scheduled to be released next month.

Nitrous oxide accounts for just five percent of current warming. However, the gas is incredibly potent, 273 times worse than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas on a pound for pound basis, and emissions of it are rapidly rising.

“They’re not only going up, but they’re going up even faster than we expected, faster than even the worst-case scenario,” said Drew Shindell, an earth science professor at Duke University and a co-author of the upcoming nitrous oxide report.

Reducing nitrous oxide emissions could prevent 20 million premature deaths worldwide by mid-century, the researchers noted. However, if N2O emissions continue to increase, the added pollution could reverse all progress made in recent decades on restoring concentrations of atmosphere ozone, which protects Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation, Kanter said.

By mid-century, N2O could also be the leading driver of climate change as efforts to rein in carbon dioxide and methane, now the top drivers, take hold.

The Montreal Protocol, a binding international environmental agreement that has successfully curbed the production and use of other ozone-depleting substances, could be expanded to include nitrous oxide. Tad Ferris, senior counsel at the Institute for Governance and Sustainable Development, an environmental organization based in Washington, D.C., made that case during a brief presentation at the event for incorporating N2O into the Montreal Protocol.

Mumukshu Patel, the senior director of food and agriculture for Climate Advisers, a Washington-based environmental organization, would also like to see a voluntary agreement on nitrous oxide similar to the recent Global Methane Pledge. For that commitment, more than 150 countries said they would reduce methane emissions to address climate change.

Could you do Optimus, Hound, Bumblebee, hotrod and cogman's reaction to their friend being high on Nitrous Oxide ( laughing gas) for medical reasons, and finding everything funny and non sensible?

Friend written as human

Warnings: Mentions of laughing gas, gas, being under the influence of laughing gas.

Optimus:

When he heard his friend was going to be under laughing gas he asked the other humans about it. Trying to be well educated on the subject.

Once his friend comes home he puts them into a safe place, making sure they are comfy.

He watches over them, making sure they stay in the safe place. He doesn't want them accidently wondering off and getting hurt.

He'd listen to them babble in complete nonsense and do his best to reply or answer. Though sometimes he would have no answer so he would just nod along saying 'yep'.

It was quite entertaining when they would laugh after every sentence. He enjoyed hearing them laugh. It seemed like they were having a good time, but he still had a small part of worry inside. He just wanted to make sure his friend would be ok.

Hound:

He's tempted to be a bad influence and allow his friend to do things they really shouldn't. Like fire a gun. But after careful consideration he decides as funny as it would be he doesn't want his friend to get hurt.

Instead he keeps them in a safe place far away from anything that could hurt them. He also keeps them away from any of the other bots. He doesn't want any of them (Crosshairs) making fun of his friend the next day.

However he finds it hard to keep his friend away from the others while sitting still. So he transforms and decides to just drive his friend around until the gas wears off.

He patiently watches them as they talk to themselves and laugh at their own jokes. He adds a few jokes in every now and again, making his friend roar with laughter, but most the time his friend manages to entertain themselves. He finds it very entertaining and watches gleefully.

If his friend wants to know what their reaction was like he will tell them honestly, and say it was hilarious. But he knows it wasn't by choice so he won't make fun of them for it. He will state that he found it entertaining.

Bumblebee:

He keeps his friend by his side. He'll sit down and either have them sitting with him or next to him because he wants to keep an eye on them and keep them safe.

He records everything they say, finding it hilarious. He's heard that they will forget their experience after laughing gas, so he wants to keep the recordings and play them for his friend after. He's sure they will find it just as funny as he did.

He also treats the laughing gas almost like a truth serum, asking them questions he wouldn't ask before.

Obviously he's asking them who their favorite Autobot is, and recording the answer to play for everyone later.

He tries to get them to sing some really silly songs that they would never sing if they weren't influenced under the gas.

Hot Rod:

He places them in their room but stays outside the window so he can keep watch on them, wanting to make sure they always have someone watching in case they have a reaction.

He starts asking them stupid questions, or showing them things trying to get them to laugh.

He enjoys hearing them laugh, and finds it very entertaining that they will laugh at everything. He actually starts to test this, pulling out random things and seeing if his friend will laugh at it.

At one point his friend starts laughing at their own laugh, making them laugh harder and creating and endless circle of laughs. Hot Rod finds it contagious and laughs along with them.

He knows this won't be permanent, but he's going to enjoy it while it lasts. He's going to make sure to tell his friend everything they laughed at once they are back to normal.

Cogman:

He takes them straight to bed and makes sure they stay there. He'll stay by their side the entire time watching for a reaction and making sure it wears off properly.

He'll get them a bucket in case they feel sick, and make sure they are wrapped up in warm blankets. Or a sheet if they start to get hot.

He listens to their babbling and has full conversations with them, adding to their nonsense, talking randomly about things just as they do. He finds it is actually quite fun to talk nonsense, and it gets a lot of laughs out of his friend so he continues to do it.

He's able to get a hold of their phone and proceeds to record the entire thing. He'll make sure to show it to them when they are back to their normal selves.

He also prepares their favorite meal, ready for when they are able to eat again.

Agricultural Activism

Disclaimer: this post is intended to inform, not convince/persuade

Was reading a post from @wobblydev and saw this specific panel.

I don't know if many of my current friends know, but something my f*ther and I used to passionately be a part of was Anonymous For The Voiceless. Though now, I'm too disabled to be out on the streets with the Cube of Truth and I'm too aware of psychology to agree with the in-your-face approach to their activism, that doesn't mean there aren't important things I've learned from being a part of it.

Mass farming of anything is bad and there are empathic, health-based, and environmental reasons that factory farming is awful, and so many more. These are just a few points I'd like to share to get things started.

I'm gonna break this up into multiple posts because there's just so much information

The empty Galaxy Gas tank

 It promised galaxies — A fleeting escape from gravity’s relentless grasp, 

A breath of something like freedom, Lifting us high enough to forget the weight of the world below.

In the haze, everything was lighter — Bodies floated, laughter stretched like celestial orbits, Time collapsing, dissolving, Moments sparkling, then blurring like distant starlight, The gas filled our lungs, And we became weightless

Drifting through a cosmos of our own making — Higher, higher, lighter still, Until even thought seemed to get sucked away, A shimmering blur of stars and breath, untethered.

But now, the tank is empty — The shimmering stars lose their luster, one by one, And we plummet back to gravity’s pull 

To the cold, unyielding ground beneath our feet, To the indifferent embrace of the metal earth.

They tell us it’s poison, they lock it away, Declare the fruit forbidden, the flight illegal

 But the more they deny us the stars, the more we crave them — The promise of another cosmos, another taste of oblivion. 

And when the tanks disappear, we search elsewhere

 Chasing fumes from the evil chemical brothers, Their whispers more deadly, their potions darker — A rougher road to the same fleeting high.

The night is quiet, and the sky — Vast, indifferent — waits. Euphoria fades, The universe shrinking back to walls and ceilings

Reality pressing in like the weight of a thousand worlds.

We sit, hands on empty tanks, back in the wasteland of our sober minds

Knowing that the thrill was borrowed, That galaxies were only a mirage — A fleeting escape, a whispered promise, and a slow, quiet poison.

Our choices: To chase another tank, Another brief flight beyond the stars, Or to stay on planet Earth, And learn to make our own euphoria — To find wonder in the weight

To lift ourselves without floating away like a sad child’s lost balloon, To craft our own shimmering cosmos

 Here, where we stand, rooted yet radiant.

Hippie crack

Hippie crack also known as Nitrous, is a gas that is within the dissociative group of drugs. There is not a lot of information of the actual mechanical action of this drug which is crazy, but it makes sense because I would say that Nitrous has a psychedelic effect to it. We have drugs that are uppers (stimulants) and we have downers (dissociative) and even though Nitrous is classified as a downer I wouldn't say that, to me its like to the side or even outside of the box. It's hard to explain if you aren't familiar to what it does.

What it does...Well it cuts out the oxygen in your body, and what people do is that they consume the gas until they are in between of passing out and being conscious. In this state everybody feels something different but it can also happen that people get a similar trip. Also one creepy thing about Nitrous is that if you speak right after consuming this gas you will hear that your voice has changed, everyone's voice on Nitrous becomes super deep and dark it's scary. Thank god that the voice comes back to normal when the high wears off, which it does super fast. The come up is around 5-10 sec and the peak lasts 15-30 sec.

My first time on hippie crack was interesting because I had no idea of what I should expect. So me and an old experienced friend inhaled the gas at the same time and the first thing I noticed was how everything slowed down, first came my breathing then my surroundings. And so I tried paying attention to my surroundings by listening to what other people were talking about. There was this one girl talking all the time and she had such a distinctive voice and so I heard her words echo back to back during my peak. She said something like damn I wish, damn I wish, damn I wish over and over again but the way she delivered those words came out in a rhythmic echoing sound in my brain. Then when I started coming back I looked at my friend who also inhaled nitrous with me at the same time, I looked at him with an open mouth and wide eyes, he immediately started nodding his head and laughing. He was nodding because he knew that we experienced the exact same thing, and he was laughing because my wide open mouth and eyes looked goofy asf. Then he started saying damn I wish, damn I wish in that exact same rhythmic echo sound I heard during my peak.

However this trip might seem fun and harmless this does not apply to everyone!!! I had another friend who wanted to try Nitrous, so she did. We were sitting on a bed and when the peak came she paniked she had forgotten who she was, who I was, where she was, she had forgotten basic things like how a piece of fabric feels. So she was touching her own denim jeans with confusion. Then she said things out loud like who am I, am I alive, am I living. Yeah...things in that nature, then she screamed at the top of her lungs and after that she came back to "normal". My girl got an ego death from Nitrous. Later after that experience it unlocked something in her brain she couldn't close, she got panic attacks and dissociated from reality on a daily basis. It took her a lot of time and venting to learn how to deal with this. Later on she told me what she saw during her trip and she saw like a spiral forming in front of her and when she looked at someone's face their face was distorted and morphing. She also told me that she didn't know she was saying these things out loud she thought that whole time she was talking in her head and she also didn't know she screamed out loud. Now she is doing good, so there is no need to worry :) But we could've prepared better:

Explain what Nitrous does: also like me she had no idea what nitrous really does, I should've explained better from the beginning.

Chosen a better spot: it was already a pretty chaotic vibe from the start where we were sitting so we could've taken a calmer spot.

Made her more conscious of her mindset before the trip: those 3 moths before her trip on nitrous weren't really the best for her so we could've also chosen a better time period where she felt more secure and safe.

That was a reminder to really be careful, and I want everyone to always have these three points going through your mind every time you want to consume a new or even old substance. You can go forward but not go back and change things if they went bad !
