Thought it was intriguing that a schizophrenic uber-hacker's poison of choice was morphine; it seems more in line with methamphetamine use, imo! Hacking on morphine... would.. be... something..... like...... this........

Always thought drug names were interesting. Maybe take two words to describe the hack, transform them into their connotative meaning, then twist them. What's the hack?

So… heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine, in memetic form?

I really hope that isn't actually possible.

As a teen I made opium from poppies around the neighbourhood. After smoking it once I threw the rest out. The intensity of how perfect it felt was alarming. I remember within minutes thinking I'll become addicted to it if I don't get rid of it. Despite that being a scary prospect, I kept feeling great the entire time. It really beats any bad feeling out of you. Incredibly creepy.

I was a dumb teenager (I'm still not very smart) but I'm grateful I had the intuition to realize how dangerous it was. The only way I can describe it was that I felt the pleasure overwhelming my ability to reason, and that felt very disabling.

You could say that drugs are a way to "hack" the brain.

Inject drugs into people without making them notice? This makes a dangerous weapon.

Imagining a doctor writing a script for meth is pretty amusing, and maybe if that’s not a cool enough drug, they can hand out some crack or something.

DontchaKnowit | karma 1088 | avg karma 1.58 · | 2023-04-22 17:05:29

Or meth

Or heroin, or cocaine

Or cocaine, or ecstasy...

Wh-what? Opium mixed with Tylenol?

Is this GPT3 or a weird troll or what.

Or opiates, or benzodiazeprines, or amphetamine. The list goes on.

Not the parent commenter, but I would imagine something involving narcotics.

Description is "The Python Dict that's better than heroin.".

Never utter that in front of someone who has serious experience with heroin or the repercussions.

Nevertheless, I was more playing with the fact that the number of drug-named libraries in Ruby was sometimes used for cheap shots at the community.

Meth.

In a word: drugs.

For a moment I wondered if this was a pun on the content matter.

To consume them intravenously, as one would cocaine or heroin.

bobcat9 | karma 26 | avg karma 2.0 · | 2018-06-19 22:14:34+00:00

Indeed. Meth will do that.
