Every time you're in a car going over 55mph.
That's actually pretty slow. That's like 80 km/h.
That's like every time I'm in a car. On the Highway 130-200km/h is normal, but I'm way too scared to drive more than 160km/h (100 mph)
Car on car: At 70mph (my interstate's posted speed in the USA) or 112 kph the chance of dying is about 50%. FWIW this is actually pretty hard to verify with direct studies/data after researching.

Car on pedestrian: A healthy adult has a 50% chance of dying when getting hit 70 kph or ~45mph. At 55mph, it's basically 80%. Many studies confirm this.

But isn't this about when you're outside a car?
So it's more like: you have a pretty high chance of dying when you get hit by a car as a pedestrian.
But what are the chances of getting hit by a car? Sure, lots of people die every year due to car accidents, but what is the chance that it's actually you getting hit.
I led with the car on car statistics and followed with the car on pedestrian.
Well yes, but not everytime you're in a car you crash someone.
You drunk bro? lol
Go reread the post, because you're missing something lmfao.
Nah. I just haven't slept that well since I took 1.1g of 5-HTP. Don't do that. The "high" isn't worth the stomach pain, throwing up and insomnia. The barely existing but definitely existing visuals are pretty cool though.
Level 5 trips are the craziest. I've only experienced them... 3-4 times off the top of my head but they each were pretty special.
Hope you get some good rest though! Glad the visuals were neat.
I mean 5-Hydroxytryptophan, the serotonin precursor. It wasn't really a "trip" and more like blurry vision and very mild drifting, similar to LSD or MDMA. It definitely was there and wasn't just there because I wanted it to have an effect. It literally just highers your serotonin production, but not MDMA does.
I probably just had a light overdose and light serotonin syndrome or something like that. Should've stayed with 0.9g
