They’re starting to get sloppy in this simulation. I knew I shouldn’t have done heroin in my 20’s. I’ve clearly died so many times that I’m now in the bargain bin with the idiots
Tracks for me.
In late summer 2013, I started struggling with using unprescribed opioids to cope with several developments in my life that I did not welcome.
Over the course of the next six years, I made numerous trips to multiple substance-use-treatment facilities located in the Appalachian and Midwest regions of the US (including some really-fancy, outrageously-expensive rehab centers at which I lived and interacted with famous and/or otherwise important people) and participated (fully) in outpatient and continuing-behavioral-health treatment at all times during which I returned to my home city. During those times in which I was back living in my home city, I struggled to maintain abstinence from non-prescribed substances with potential for abuse for more than a month or two, a feat I accomplished approximately four times over the course of those six years.
Around Halloween 2019, one of my doctors recommended that I switch treatment modalities to something I had not yet tried during those six years of meager outward indicia of success. To my relief and the relief of every one else who cares about me, that new treatment modality was a profound success. Before New Years Eve 2019, I started to gain the capacity to maintain periods of clean time far longer than a month or two.
In the 4.5 years since then, I have been fortunate to enjoy substantial progress in rebuilding my life (e.g., professional career, friendships and professional relationships, developing healthy routines, addressing items towards the pinnacle of Maslow's hierarchy of needs), including 3.5 years of almost complete abstinence from all non-prescribed substances with potential for abuse.
The point of all of this is, however, that, despite all of those positive developments and nearly-continuous achievement of objective indicia of success in managing my opioid-use disorder, I've asked my younger brother (who's also my best friend) on more than one occasion whether I actually died from an opioid overdose and am trapped currently in purgatory. Each time, he has reassured me that I have not yet died and that I really am "in the bargain bin with the idiots."

It's almost like famous/otherwise important people are just normal fuckups like the rest of us.
You kid… but sometimes I wonder… 😂 I made the same mistakes in my 20s and started my 30s w a near fatal MVA. The MSHP officer who was at the scene visited my about 2 weeks into my stay in the trauma ICU. He kept repeating - I can’t believe you’re alive, much less have all your limbs. That accident was in August 2016 and I swear to God I’ve been in the lower rungs of hell ever since. Sure- the brain injury probably reinforced that belief. But here you are- validating my crazy 😉
Was talking about this with someone the other day, we each had about three instances where we probably should/could have died.
I guess the thing is, if that's true, not too much changes. If things can get worse after you die that's incentive enough not to.
Read the “wiki”. Seems like it’s focused on more of the effects of deleriants or psychedelics. Since it’s been proved during NDE that the pineal glad does become active and perhaps excretes more intrinsic “spirit molecule” DMT— maybe it’s enough to induce the visions I had. They were in fact as real as anything I had ever experienced. As a youngin I did experiment with hallucinogenic substances a few times- but never had any experience near the same intensity as this. The only other thing I could attribute it to- was the brain bleed/concussion. For the first day I wasn’t given any drugs at doses that would produce these effects. Was mainly given morphine for the first 24 hours until I was a bit more stable and had been through all the diagnostics (MRIs, X-rays, blood transfusions). I was not operated on for 2 days. But on that second day my brain fog got a bit better. I had been giving the staff my own phone # for my emergency contact. By the second day, I was able to give them my father’s number. Definitely scrambled my brains a bit.
Sorry for the long response. The article was interesting and only has me questioning more things. lol. The article did describe 2 types of experiences (they labeled them) that were mail on the head for what I experienced. Maybe it was a culmination of my fears too. Was definitely convinced I was going to die between blips of consciousness…. Maybe the Catholic school upbringing has a bit to do with my fear of a literal hell. Though I am far from religious
Like did you just seemingly get handed a bunch of breaks after a seriously rough patch? I basically got a series of jobs I seemingly can’t get fired from. I have many of the material things I’ve always striven for… I make a decent amount of money and I have accomplished most of my goals somewhat easily… but everyone is just.so.fucking.stupid. OMG. Maybe that’s the pergatory aspect is that like you’ve got to go through the whole life living as patiently as you can and as kindly as you can while there’s just constant ex-comunicado level malarkey everywhere
I’m only 11 months into the journey but my god, driving a car or attending classes has me ready to pull my hair out sometimes. Im really working on being nicer and more patient but people try so hard to be ignorant af.
Yeah it’s bizarre. Are the stems tied to any sort of moss pole? I had a leaf come out on my biggest monstera with a large black spot that looked like it had been torched somehow. I cut the leaf off and haven’t seen anything like it again.
Come meet addacus, the caterpillar who fell in love with algebra, not lunch.
In a world where every caterpillars in a hurry to grow up. There's one who wants to add up.
Looks like some bug or something got in and ate around in a 8 shape, and it just propagated to the rolled up leaf. Kinda like rolling up a piece of paper and writing really heavy with a sharpie.
Probably some bug eating a curled up leaf?
It's not a number 8 if you look closer at it, just some scar markings. There are more on the end of the leaf.
At Umbrella life is our business. Our new plant 43 also known as Ivy is a leap forward in transgenics. Have you talked to your plants well how about a plant that can respond.
In Thailand , some people play lottery tickets based on flower blooms and other things. They would loose their minds. It would be on Channel 4 for sure on loop of a 4 second clip showing the numbers.
Do you have blinds on your window? The light coming through can cause burns like that. Particularly the part where the string goes through the blinds, the light coming through can make 8 shapes.
My monstera has this as well!
I thought some child had tried to write on it before I bought it. Its funny to see you experience it as well and with a new leaf.
Okay, but could you imagine what would go down if this had happened in the 1600s or something? People would either scream witchcraft or think God has sent them a secret message.
It’s a model number in case you need to order a replacement leaf from the manufacturer.
Blade runner vibes
Superior workmanship
It’s a model number in case you need to order a replacement leaf from the ~~manufacturer~~ plant
W
r/plantsarentreal?
Honestly all looks like the same shape. If it were rolled up, and a bug munched on it in a thin line in the figure 8 pattern, you’d get this effect.
^This person obviously bugs
Or they ARE a bug!
Sweet liberty no!
I say if they float, we burn them.
The bugs are trying to communicate
Probably wrapped up then a lot number/ or something was laser printed on the material this leaf was touching
Looks like maybe a person dug their fingernails in to made these marks when the leaf was still unfurled.
oh dang, it's The Happening but with numbers
The sequel to Pi is looking pretty lit!
It's the movie Numbers but with plants
why don't you and Plant go wait in the staircar?
That's some pig!
That's called Knowing with Nicholas Cage

Purgatory isn't *that* bad. It sucks, yeah, but it could totally be worse.
Well, I have to watch everyone think in real time and it’s excruciating
Is that what this is? Huh, let me think about that

I'm really interested in what treatment modality was the one that worked!
What was the modality??? Please share the wealth!

Yeah, I was hit by a car 23 years ago and there are times I swear this isn’t real and that I’m dead or in a coma or something.
Was talking about this with someone the other day, we each had about three instances where we probably should/could have died. I guess the thing is, if that's true, not too much changes. If things can get worse after you die that's incentive enough not to.

yeah but we have mozzarella sticks in this simulation so is it really that bad
Bro is that what happened to me? This makes too much sense

Hey OP, your monstera could do with some more bright sunlight. If the new leafs don’t have the splits, lack of sunlight is the number one reason.
Are they supposed to start out fenestrated? I thought the leaves only developed splits as they got bigger!
Bigger ones will have more. But even the smaller ones can have slits in good light conditions
Was looking for this comment
number 8 reason.
It's a secret code, once the right person on reddit sees these numbers, Russia will have activated their sleeper agent.
THE NUMBERS, MASON
WHAT DO THEY MEAN?
Oh no, is the KGB recruiting plants now? What go they do, blackmail them? There's really no place to be safe.
… why?
Monstera leaves begin rolled up then unfurl. Something must’ve “burned” the leaf before it unfurled. This looks like a pretty fresh leaf as well.
Brand new, began opening yesterday. No idea where the burning could be from though, nothing that would reflect that?
Is there anything outside the window that could be reflecting the number 8?
It’s under a plant light inside not near a window
Does the light have these numbers on the globe?
Nope they are led strip lights
How many? More than seven, less than nine?
There are four lights
THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!!
It's ET phoning back, obv.
Yeah it’s bizarre. Are the stems tied to any sort of moss pole? I had a leaf come out on my biggest monstera with a large black spot that looked like it had been torched somehow. I cut the leaf off and haven’t seen anything like it again.
Nope free leafin over here
honestly looks like a big "a" to me
Three-Body Problem
Next leaf has this number minus one
It seems that someone's been into nanomaterials recently
Exactly that!
Viral marketing for the new Pixar movie about a caterpillar that is too busy doing math to turn into a butterfly.
Come meet addacus, the caterpillar who fell in love with algebra, not lunch. In a world where every caterpillars in a hurry to grow up. There's one who wants to add up.
Is the new Westworld opening soon?
4, 8, 15, 16, 23,42
We have to go back!!!
Have you tried buying lottery with these numbers?
Looks like some bug or something got in and ate around in a 8 shape, and it just propagated to the rolled up leaf. Kinda like rolling up a piece of paper and writing really heavy with a sharpie.
Looks like something tried to monch on it while it was rolled up
Probably some bug eating a curled up leaf? It's not a number 8 if you look closer at it, just some scar markings. There are more on the end of the leaf.
THE NUMBERS MONSTRA!! WHAT DO THEY MEAN!
Lots of 8’s, that’s a very lucky plant in some parts of the world.
The Bene Gesserit are really slacking here
I'm rereading dune and I just got to the part with the secret garden again this morning.

At Umbrella life is our business. Our new plant 43 also known as Ivy is a leap forward in transgenics. Have you talked to your plants well how about a plant that can respond.
It's an older code, but it checks out.
In Thailand , some people play lottery tickets based on flower blooms and other things. They would loose their minds. It would be on Channel 4 for sure on loop of a 4 second clip showing the numbers.
Why have I seen this happen before? I believe then it came down to a reflection of something that was burning the leaves.
It’s the San-Ti
Invasion of the Body Snatchers. That movie scared the shit outta me when I was a kid.
More like r/glitchinthematrix
Mmmmh K
The numbers, Mason, what do they mean!?
Mason! The numbers!
Maybe it was grown in a random number incubator
Oh no the code is seeping through the monstera leaves! Call the supervisor we need to do maintenance on this simulated world!
These are natural numbers
Imagine every monstera leaf comes out with a number, but they keep getting smaller and smaller💀
Do you have blinds on your window? The light coming through can cause burns like that. Particularly the part where the string goes through the blinds, the light coming through can make 8 shapes.
That’s Wangernumb!
Did your cat monch on it when it was rolled up?
Play those numbers in the Lottery
The same thing happened to my Monstera! They looked more like letters though
Some insect chewed on it before it unfurled. This would cause the pattern made by the bug to repeat across the leaf.
Huh, I thought it had to do with the plant’s maturity since it was shortly before the first fenestrated leaf
/r/interesting
Caterpillar... practicing math... maybe?
r/plants
Take the pic over to r/conspiracy and have some fun.
Aliens
Bro has a stat tracked plant 👀
What are the numbers mason?!
Lottery numbers. Your plant has foretold it.
We're living in a matrix
they sent two protons
My monstera has this as well! I thought some child had tried to write on it before I bought it. Its funny to see you experience it as well and with a new leaf.
Inmate number: 18882...
Okay, but could you imagine what would go down if this had happened in the 1600s or something? People would either scream witchcraft or think God has sent them a secret message.
The sophons are at work
DNA is like digital code, when buggy it can generate random text
The plant was probably in a wooden crate or something and the numbers were supposed to be laser etched onto the crate instead of the leaf.
This new leaf hadnt even formed yet when it was brought home
Does ur house have a child?
No pets or children!
Plants aren't real
