A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

One of those preparations is “filtered through a shaman’s (or in some cases, a reindeer’s) kidneys.”

Yes, Inuits would sometimes drink the urine from a shaman who had eaten A. Muscaria, and I have read (but not from a scholarly source so I’m not swearing to it) that in Siberian tribes they would do the same thing but with a reindeer doing the filtering.
