Tyler Durden: You know why they put oxygen masks on planes?
Narrator: So you can breath.
Tyler Durden: Oxygen makes you high. In a catastrophic emergency, you're taking giant panicked breaths. Suddenly you become euphoric, docile. You accept your fate.
Yeeeees normies. Accept the awakening... Accept that nothing can stop what is coming... Might as well take a hit of that oxygen while you're at it! This ride is just getting started!

So crazy personal story. Last year, went to the dentist to have wisdom teeth removed. They overdosed me on nitrous oxide. I'd haved it used before, just eases the anxiety, makes you a little loopy, but completely conscious. But this time, somebody screwed up. Was either a bad mix or not timed with the right mix. Once the nitrogen started pumping in, I could feel myself going under. It was 5 seconds of this feeling of a complete loss of control over my body. My mind was still completely aware of what was going on. I said in my head, at least what I thought was just in my head, "it's ok to take me now, this world sucks anyway, just take care of my wife." I felt myself go. Was so easy to let go too. Next thing I know, a faint voice yelling at me to wake yup. I was consciously aware of the voice, but was trying to hard to resist it. Within maybe 10 seconds, after 3 or 4 yells, it felt like I had just been traveling 100mph and slammed to a halt, woke up. Was totally alert and conscious, unlike when you come back from anesthesia. Started laughing. Realized, well, guess I'm stuck here a little while longer. The oral surgeon says "we thought we lost you, and you were talking to extraterrestrials!" Apparently when I thought I was just silently talking to God, I said it out loud. Funny stuff really. Of course, it felt like it had been 4 hours, but nope, only 5 minutes. They hadn't even pulled the damn teeth yet. Unpleasant side effect of getting OD'd... started puking everywhere. Thank goodness they got it cleaned up and pulled the damn teeth. Wasn't going back home without the teeth pulled after dealing with this shitshow!
It's hard to really explain the feeling though, of letting go, of that euphoric acceptance of the end, as described by Tyler. I'm guessing others who've had near death experiences will feel similarly, but with that gas going through my nose, it was about as close to a plane crash as I could get.
Happy to be alive, especially in such exciting times
joe? is that you?
It's entirely possible!
Yes! You can make a difference for better, or for worse, the people you come in contact with on a daily basis. A kind word, is much better than a snarky remark.
What do you do when life has sucked the life out of you?
Everyone is happy, everyone is kind
Feel good music
I talk to toads 🐸 👍🏽

God bless you too fren :)
HOLY SHIT FREN ... That's one hell of a story.
One time I did a hit of poppers, really went mad, like ten breaths. I saw what was like a pie chart, in each segment was video playing of all my memories, except I could follow all the "slices" at the same time, hundreds of them, each one a clear memory, of childhood, parents, early years, everything. My whole life flashed before me and apparently I passed out. Definitely a near death experience.
Poppers?
amyl nitrate - basically a very volatile aromatic solvent. Not big or clever, just headaches
most Oral Surgeons would start an IV and give you a deep sedation/general anesthesia for wisdom teeth. Some use nitrous with it, some don't. I preferred not using nitrous as an adjunct which I came to prefer over the years. Propofol works wonders. Are you sure this wasn't a general dentist playing oral surgeon?
I guess things have changed. 35 years ago I was numbed up locally, they pulled all 4, and I drove myself home.
Whoa you’re lucky!! The USAF pulled all 4 of mine & they used IV valium. Massive pain for 24 hours in Hospital on Demerol. Yikes!!
Me too...all 4 out at the school of dentistry, drove myself home. Had to wait until Dad got home to go fetch my painkillers. Brutal.
Yup, now they recommend full anesthesia. All these funny videos of kids waking up and only being semiconscious, blabbering incoherently afterwards with no memory of acting and talking like a drunk... but that's not what happened with me, I remember everything. The nitrous isn't supposed to knock you out. Just help ease the anxiety, then get your mouth numbed up and yank the suckers. Should have been easy. First time 2 years ago was easy. This time however...
Mine were removed many years ago, and they knocked me out with Sodium Pentothol.
I opted not to go under, not to do anesthesia since the first wisdom tooth I had done 2 years ago was just fine using nitrous. I've always tried to avoid anesthesia whenever possible. Had the idea of going under. Funny thing is the first time I had it done, it was just a general dentist who said she felt comfortable enough to do it. No problems with the nitrous. But this time was an oral surgeon and them craziness happened. It's possible that the assistant just screwed up. I had the thing over my nose running oxygen for what seemed to be way too long. I was listening to music through headphones and the hour long track I was on had gotten at least 2/3 of the way done before they finally came back to get working. Maybe all that oxygen for 35 minutes just didn't react well once the nitrous was kicked on? But it was definitely not supposed to do what it did. The oral surgeon seemed legitimately concerned when I woke up. Texted me throughout the day to keep checking in on how I was doing.
Glad you made it fren!
Interesting post. Thanks for sharing

No, they put oxygen masks on planes because if the cabin depressurizes, you don't have enough oxygen partial pressure to breathe and die from anoxia.
Oxygen makes you high? No it doesn't.
LOL, tylers spin fits the mod of the movie well, but let's remember, the lad was a little bonkers.
The oxygen is there cos like, 20 km up, there's really not much of that stuff around. And in most cases, humans need oxygen for sustain living.
I helped design & build some planes for a mission in Iraq. Flew one of them from Milwaukee to Balad Iraq, all the way VFR at 7,000 feet. When we got over the mountains of Kurdish territory we took her up to 17,000 (to avoid ground—>air missiles) and went on O2. I tried not using the Oxygen to see what it was like…not good. Vision started going towards tunnel-vision so I quit messing around.
I was in Balad for a year, had great dining facilities.
Exciting story. What happened? Did you make it back?
jks.
Is you currently located in Norway? What's with the flag?
In enough concentrations it makes you sleepy. The air we breathe has a so.ewhat low concentration of oxygen and is mixed with other gasses. In a more pure form, the effects are different than normal air.
As I understand it, 100% oxygen at sea level pressure is fatal. There can be too much of a good thing. Deep diving gas mixtures are nearly entirely helium, because the oxygen fraction has to be within the safety limit for the depth pressure of operation.
It doesn't make you sleepy, 100% oxygen keeps you awake and alert. This is why military aircraft have a oxygen regulator so the pilot can keep his concentration in times of high stress levels. Its also very good for hangovers.
Thanks for that.
Try hyperventilating. It sure isn't the nitrogen.
I used 100% oxygen lots of times from the aircraft I serviced when in the military, it does not get you high. Its very good for hangovers though, which is why me and lots of others used it.
