Backaway in the Ultimate Blogger days, I recall an amusing blost about... was it 'digital drugs'? does anyone recall?

ha! I don't remember it as an UrHo thing...but I remember there being a brief moral panic on local news stations in the '08s about YouTube videos that could get you high

That was real news?

I mean, as real as all teen-craze local news stories are.

Jona also reminded me of I-Doser, which we were briefly fascinated by:

This is just binaural rhythm stuff, which is effective, although I don't think I'd go so far as to call it "drugs." There's an open-source binaural beat generator called sbga-gen we used for a while as work music: https://uazu.net/sbagen/.

This feels like a valid way to while away a quarantine.

Um, has anyone ever tried microdosing? Not sure if this is the place... I would love to hear about experiences of "people you know."
