Imagine seeing this on acid

A favorite thing to do was stare at trees while tripping. They are an excellent visual study of a way natural objects arrange themselves fractally, some neat mathematics behind their geometry. One of my most profound experiences involved a telepathic communications between myself and a divine consciousness connected through my favorite tree in the backyard.

Ahh yes i also remember all of the trees singing to me. Sounded like a cascading "erogarah"

You take a picture of the tree to remember later....and it was just an ordinary bush.

Honestly this pic kinda reminds me of acid visuals already lol.

Maybe it would cancel out and be the only normal looking tree you see 😂

I once saw this when stoned except that it was tree fractals

Now Real Civil Engineer has started saying it too. More the merrier.

Were you listening to me, or were you looking at the woman in the red dress?

Hydrogen, beryllium, that's fine.

Hydrogen again, lowercase boron, okay.

Then it goes off the rails. We've got cursed osmium, "onionium", "rsium", "ghium", boron, "canadium", tellurium, neon, and "Bxium".

Not great, not terrible.

sounds like it accurately represents the average person's knowledge of the periodic table

See pictures 3, 5, and 6 in the gallery. The perfect hexagon shape seems to be artificial.
