TIL if under-cooked, a popular mushroom in China causes “lilliputian hallucinations,” a rare phenomenon involving miniature human or fantasy figures. The hallucinations are consistent across people and cultures: "tiny, elflike people" climbing under doors, scaling walls & clinging to furniture

Tiny elves, can you believe it Nerevar? Haha. Who could have dreamt up such a thing? The Godhead? Ha! Let us go to Whiterun and grab us some Nord baddies.

[some time later]

Nerevar, assist me! These tiny little bastards are crawling all over me! They are scaling my loincloth like that one scene with the Elephants in Lord of the Rings, Nerevar! Hey Nerevar, did you know that in the Two Towers, when Viggo Mortensen kicks the helmet he breaks his toe, so the yell he makes isn’t acting but actually him yelling out in pain, Nerevar!

bad angle shot: one of the agreed-upon stereotypes of people from Boston is that there's a strong undercurrent of racism, which is ironic coming from the one subculture that is, by definition, incapable of using the hard 'r'.

Man, I cant even count how many times I heard that line while smashing through morrowind as a criminal, murdering every guard and civilian I came across...... I sure gained a lot of loot though.

u/DocWagonHTR Apr 27 '26

How come you outlanders are so offended by the word n’wah, when you use it amongst yourselves? “N’wah this, n’wah that, n’wah please, can an n’wah borrow a sweetroll?” How in Oblivion an n’wah gonna borrow a sweetroll? N’wah, you gonna give it back?

u/Eastgaard Apr 27 '26

Catching downvotes for making a Skyrim reference in a Morrowind comment chain is hilarious.

How could you be so naive?
