- cess11 2y agoIt's a potent dissociative, you'll black out before you reach concentrations required for this purpose.
- BizarroLand 2y agoI suppose that if we ever develop some sort of hypersleep/suspended animation or whatever we want to call it then being dissociated by a noble gas before the system kicks in might be a good idea.
- golergka 2y agoYou're in a rocket on top of thousands of tons of explosives, everything runs automatically, there's terrifying noise all around and you don't control anything. Blacking out in dissociative euphoria still sounds like a feature, not a bug to me.
- rhelz 2y agochuckle maybe for the jaded frequent flyer, but if I go up in a rocket I wanna experience everything, even a blow up if it happens.
- indoordin0saur 2y agoSounds like you don't like a good time :-P
- mathsmath 2y agoI had a similar experience recently. Massive turbulence on a commercial flight low over the continental divide flying into Denver. I personally witnessed 3 people vomiting, but I was all smiles the whole time. I am in small planes a lot, so kind of enjoy the bumps when it’s someone else’s job to fly now.
- cess11 2y agoWhy would there be noise and explosives? Personally I'd prefer to not be put in a coma in such an environment.
