I don’t know why these dudes want to look like they’re choking on a shovel.
Proof they can take the biggest dicks.
Lol what a perfect description
How the hell you’d inject gold?
tetrachloroauric acid
That sounds like a fucking terrible idea good lord
TIL this 👆
This is what is known as a “bad idea”
As stupid as injecting random protein peptides.
Then claiming you are a victim of a rare autoimmune disorder.
Colloidal gold. Bullshit supplement. Gold is almost a Nobel metal, doesn’t really react with anything.
*does not really react with anything.
friends
X Doubt
Guy read too much Sanderson. Was trying to steal hybrid feruchemical powers
Everyone is focused on body dysmorphia but after reading the article the entire thing sounds like a scam cooked up by the gold industry.
About That Idris Elba Gold Documentary Folding Ideas.
Colloidal gold has been a bullshit supplement for joint pain for decades.
Definitely a Darwin Award winner.
Article also reminds me of a Superman fanboy in my country going to huge costly lengths to look a lot like Christopher Reeve’s Superman.
I keep hearing the term looksmaxer and every time it’s a person that looks like they were hit with a snow shovel repeatedly.
Coincidentally, they all remind me of handsome squidward from spongebob, who became handsome after multiple slams to the face from a metal door.
They look like the YouTube thumbnail for a bad GMod edit
He looks like a shitty render out of a lousy Half-Life clone.
So either he always had some mental health issues, or the lack of nutrition he did to keep the body he had lead himself to make very bad decisions because his brain couldnt process correctly anymore.
I’ve never read anything about the looksmaxxing subculture that made me think it was anything other than people with severe body dysmorphia egging each other on. The least ethical 60s psychological experiment conceived by the most coked up 60s psychologist couldn’t have come up with a more fucked up method of seeing how far people will go.
Eh… I wouldn’t be surprised if they did exactly this in the 60s, just with more LSD involved in the experiment.
i heard of people drilling holes in their skulls for spiritual reasons in roughly that period so this tracks
That’s afaik mostly an urban legend, originated from the “third eye” book by Lobsang Rampa.
Wow.
well, looks maxxing is so last year, now we have ball maxing
Mine don’t need maxxing, but I do iron my sack to get the wrinkles out.
who the fuck would want bigger balls, that just sounds uncomfortable for everyday life
Great way to move around.
Surely this is satire.
idk, it was covered by some large publications

From what I heard he had a psychosis after an Ayahuasca ritual, then used gold from jewelry which might contain lead and other nasty stuff for consumption and injection and also used SSRIs before he died, so possibility serotonin syndrome.
Sounds like they were mentally ill beforehand, ayahuasca didn’t do that
And then he was found at the bottom of a lake, which would be unusual for serotonin syndrome
Maybe the lead weighed him down
Haha gold
ayyyyyy
Auuuuuu
gold too.
Ayahuasca can absolutely trigger latent psychosis, all psychedelics can do that.
Say that latent part again slowly
I’m aware of the meaning. I’m not sure what your point is though.
From an outside perspective it’s this:
- Person acting normal before Ayahuasca (latent psychosis)
- Insane behavior after Ayahuasca (acute psychosis)
I’m pretty sure that none of the Ayahuasca retreats test for latent psychosis or if there is even a reliable way to do that.
Ayahuasca retreats are a scam to relieve drug tourists of their money. I prefer my psychedelic experiences not to start with an hour of projectile vomiting into a bucket, but some people think they have to “earn” a trip by putting themselves through an ordeal. The reality is that botanicals can be dirty drugs with a high body load just like synthetics can be. Also MAOIs can be unpredictable in the magnitude of their effect, and can prolong trips much longer than you bargained for, based on small details of your body chemistry and recent diet.
As for the “latent” comment: using psychedelics can be a stress test, and (as they say of investments) past performance does not guarantee future results. I’ve had entirely positive experiences with psychedelics, but also know that they’re powerful substances that should be used sparingly. People who advocate “heroic doses” are doing so with no concern over the casualty rate. It will go bad for some people, you can’t always predict who, but the odds worsen with dosage and frequency of use. So to me, the “latent” pseudo-explanation is a bit too much like “and if it breaks, it needed replacing anyway.” Too self-fulfilling to be credible.
I agree with you. I’ve personally had mixed experiences and the bad ones where so bad that I currently do not plan to ever try it again.
Regarding the term latent psychosis I agree too. I brought it up because it’s basically what the side effects would say if they were labeled. However it can also be used as a defense like you said “it would’ve been triggered anyways sooner or later”. That’s problematic since you can’t really test that beforehand. So either way it’s a gamble with your mental health. For many first time users their mental health is already compromised and they experiment with psychedelics to improve it. That was my intent. My multiple experiences with psychedelics definitely had effects on my mental health but not all of them where positive. Other first time users might just be curious, spiritually inclined or expect a recreational high.
Ahh ok, so drugs it is. I thought the cause of death was due to the gold injection, im actually shocked he survived that now.
They drowned in a lake
gold is relatively inert, its the ions and the other elements, like nickel, lead,etc that are in gold.
I think the copious amounts of drugs he was doing probably had a lot to do with it. Oh and the injecting gold part.
he had some before the ayushcha binged, the drug put him over the edge.
Looksmaxxing is just a new name for body dysmorphia. The same shit that makes people puke their guts out after eating, or getting plastic surgery done over and over until they look like freaks.
Have you tried shitmaxxing?
I do it all the time. Currently on the shitter, maxing.
Currently vapemaxxing and shitpostontheshittermaxxing.
Shitmaxxing is the latest fad. Influencers are eating 6 meals a day rather than the regular 3. The rules also include in those meals at least 2 cans of beans, 20 grams of soluble fibre, and a kg of beef.
“Up until his passing, he was discovering that he had achieved some superhuman abilities, and it’s no joke; he actually did achieve some superhuman abilities,” he said. “He had tapped into a level of consciousness that most people never will.”
Another looksmaxxing influencer, Androgenic, offered additional claims during a livestream, saying Murphy became increasingly focused on gold.
“He started to get this fixation on gold. He started to believe that gold was some gatekept mineral by the higher-ups that basically gives you special powers if you ingest it,” he said. According to Androgenic, Murphy later began injecting gold into his body.
Just so we are all clear, the trans community super duper does not claim him. Wish the political right would focus more on this sort of self abuse instead of the verified science supporting medical transition.
Uhh, why would they target white men? You know what it is.
The only thing trans about this now ex-person is how transparently stupid he was (and, very likely, sadly in need of mental health help).
Deathmaxxing!
He’s going to be a strong contender for this year’s Darwin Award!
It’s always the second half of the year that the nominations come in and then by October it’s like the where we’re you at the beginning of the year people.
My favorite darwin is the guy who went alcohooool alcohooooool and drank a bottle of rubbing alcohol.
Did this toolbag think he was an Allomancer or Mistborn? Brandon Sanderson’s works are too dangerous! BAN SANDERSON NOVELS!
/s just in case…
A Feruchemist more likely? Guess the metalmind was empty, or he taped it too much to fast.
