Laboratory testing indicates that Cheerios contain detectable glyphosate, which enters cereal grains like oats because they are often sprayed with it as a desiccant. Is “detectable” glyphosate dangerous? Who knows.
Hey, I had a misty beige Accord, an '87. Stripper name never occurred to me.
Sounds like a rather boring stripper.
mmm
I’ve had several ocular migraines, which cause a scintillating distortion in the visual field, but I don’t think I should count that as a hallucination.
I saw a ghost one morning in an old hotel when I was lying in bed. I refuse to consider that it was a hallucination, certainly not due to a brain glitch in moving between sleeping & waking states. He was real, damn it. I voted no. The facts that nobody else has ever seen this particular ghost and I am not at all spiritual or psychic have nothing to do with anything.
One of my so-called “friend’s” used to make fun of the way I pronounced the word. However, again this is a word with two totally acceptable pronunciations, neither is wrong. About 60% of Americans use the KYOO way.
And hurting people and ruining friendships is why some people need to get over little insignificant shit like this.
I voted yes on the visual hallucinations; but I knew what I was seeing wasn’t there; at least, in any usual sense of being there.
I also voted “yes” on the visual hallucinations, though very rare, and almost all caused by semi-serious (36-48 hours) of sleep deprivation. Mostly things shifting in ways they couldn’t have naturally, but I was aware (intellectually) that it was going on, so this is possibly a borderline case.
Bring it! Wait until you see my collection of small cardboard boxes!
Never a visual hallucination, but I’ve had a handful of auditory hallucinations – the last one of those was years ago, though.
lol You animal! There’s no way I can keep up with that
I’ve often wondered why some people pronounce it that way. Obviously, they heard other people pronouncing it that way; but how did it get started? There’s nothing in the spelling of the word that would make me think to add a Y.
Lots of visual hallucinations during my one mushroom trip. otherwise, I don’t think so.
One weird visual hallucination (or visual effect, anyway) during my first migraine, which did not include a headache. Does that count?
One visual hallucination. Back in my yout, I foolishly went to an amusement park with a buddy after having worked all night. We spent all day doing nothing but riding roller coasters.
Driving home that night, in the dark, after being awake 24+ hours, the highway turned into a coaster in my mind. I don’t know how long the hallucination lasted, but I do know that I’m lucky to be alive and lucky not to have killed someone.
mmm
Why do people add a Y sound in use, Utah, etc.? There’s nothing in the spelling that suggests a Y. (I don’t actually know the answer to this, but I suspect it’s the same reason.)
Do they nest, like those Russian dolls?
That is a spelling issue; not one of pronunciation. Both derive from the Spanish Yuta (which itself is no where close to the native Núuchi-u)
Okay: leave Utah aside. use is Latinate, and there’s no y-sound in the Latin or French cognates: same with union, cucumber, cube, etc. English ū somehow behave /ju/ (yoo) in many words, and I suspect that it spread to coupon by analogy with those.
Sorry. I just focused on Utah and felt the need to show off. I was thinking of the word Ute for the tribe. Lower case it is short for utility vehicle which also follows the weird pronunciation you describe.
When I was in my early 20s I did an enormous amount of LSD, so visual hallucinations were relatively common then. At 58 I’d be terrified to mess around with psychedelics - far too much emotional baggage at this stage of life.
