“Tiny genetic change”
Oof. Would that it were so easy…
Genes are very small, so, you know, technically correct
The best kind of correct!
And people say yardwork can’t be surprisingly fun.
Lmao my whole family quotes this: ‘DONT LET YOUR DREAMS BE DREAMS!’
NOT TOMORROW. TODAY!
It’s pretty funny to hear a 6 year old say it
now this is an evil scientist plan I can get behind
LET HER COOK
Botanists, can you please get started on the research?
I seriously hope someone is working on this
Stinging nettle -> singing nettle
Where do I meet her? All the ones I have been with were indeed thinking of other men.
I sat on a stinging nettle while in shorts once without realizing it was there until I sat on it. Would not recommend.
I don’t get it. If the sting of U. pelulifera already contains bufotenin, what genetic change would be needed for a psychedelic sting? Wikipedia says bufotenin is a psychedelic substance and a DMT analog.
Fun fact: while searching for this, I’ve found that apparently some people seem to have elevated levels of bufotenin in their pee. Could be another source…
Gonna need a bigger dose.
I would guess the change would be to produce more bufotenin and less stinging, rather than adding bufotenin out of whole cloth.
Still probably more than one change, but theoretically feasible to manually breed a population of hallucinogenic stinging nettles if you’re open to being stung a lot for testing.
Oh, I thought that it was qualitatively already a psychedelic sting. But yeah, quantity is key here xD
