This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I’ve heard DMT described as seeing little cities or a village of workers working away.

I wonder if it’s similar.

I'll stop short of saying that everyone who describes DMT that way is a fool (drugs can affect people differently, and I've never taken it orally so maybe I'm missing something), but the "machine elf" stuff is just nonsense. It's just your brain making insane fractal patterns that fold in on themselves and shit. It's pretty cool, but there are no "entities" waiting for you.

Yeah that’s pretty much what I assumed too.
