About

Oneshotted By A 6D Mesoamerican Ayahuasca Demon, also sometimes used as 5D Ayahuasca Demon, is a catchphrase popularized by X / Twitter user @LandsharkRides. The user made a series of remarks about the psychedelic drug ayahuasca on a March 2023 post, saying that "turbonormies" take the drug to cure their "internalized racism," only to get "oneshotted" (a gaming slang term for being killed in one shot) and have their brains "gigafried" (slang for someone's mind being extremely overwhelmed) by "some Mesoamerican 6D demon who makes them quit their email job." The idea put forth by @LandsharkRides has since been used in memes about tech CEOs and their tendency to drastically change their life after an experience with ayahuasca.

Origin

On March 6th, 2023, X^[1] user @LandsharkRides posted a series of tweets about "turbonormies" taking drugs as powerful as ayahuasca and being completely unprepared for its impact.

The tweets are transcribed below:

"Ayahuasca" is insane because it appears to be one of the most legitimately dangerous drugs with the potential to gigafry your brain but is exclusively taken by literal turbonormies who unironically want to like "heal internalized racism trauma" and basically get oneshotted by it.

Literally the most spiritually inept people in existence having their little lib brains rearranged by some Mesoamerican 6D demon who makes them quit their email job, divorce their bf/gf, and become a traveling circus stripper or whatever

The post gathered over 3,000 likes in two months.
