Caffeine is lowkey the most normalised and profitable drug addiction in the world, and it doesn’t really even do anything. The whole ‘giving you energy’ thing is a myth, all it does it make you tired without it. That’s why caffeine legally has to be listed as a ‘flavouring’ on the packaging, despite nobody on earth having a clue what it’s supposed to taste like

The whole ‘giving you energy’ thing is a myth, all it does it make you tired without it.

Absolute nonsense. I don’t drink coffee or tea, and if I drink a couple cups of coffee I end up with a hundred more tabs in the browser, two programming projects started and abandoned, a hundred notes tagged and reorganized, and a bunch of unnecessary and vaguely mean comments on Reddit and Lemmy. Possibly also a sore leg or shoulder from impromptu exercise.

You need to take control of your caffeine addiction.

Placebo effect entirely
Nope. I can instantly tell when the wife has a Celsius or other “energy” drink because she doesn’t normally. I’ll full on addicted and it sucks trying to get off it, massive headaches, loss of focus. When she’s on it, kitchens get destroyed and other random things when she goes on a “cleaning spree”.
