đšEarly to RISA đ§Anon has anxiety
davetortoiseCaffeine is lowkey the most normalised and profitable drug addiction in the world, and it doesnât really even do anything. The whole âgiving you energyâ thing is a myth, all it does it make you tired without it. Thatâs why caffeine legally has to be listed as a âflavouringâ on the packaging, despite nobody on earth having a clue what itâs supposed to taste like
The whole âgiving you energyâ thing is a myth, all it does it make you tired without it.
Absolute nonsense. I donât 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
Oh really? And are the whooshing of blood in my ears and the cranked-up muscle tone also from the placebo effect? And the fact that the shoulder muscles are jacked up for several days afterwards, pulling my neck forward while the back muscles pull it back?
Sounds like quite a serious reaction. Have you seen a doctor about it?
Have you tried quitting your coffee addiction?
I donât drink coffee. Why are you angry?
Do you also not drink tea and fizzy drinks?
Not really
Thatâs not serious. Abstain from all of those for a month or two, then down two or three cups of coffee and get back to me. Even better if you keep doing alcohol during that, which is famously a depressant of aforementioned nervous system.
I just thought the stuff about muscle contractions in your shoulders/neck sounded concerning and unusual. Iâve never heard anyone mention something like that before.
That stems from my sedentary life mode. But that doesnât mean that caffeine doesnât stimulate skeletal muscle, particularly considering that Iâm in the perfect position to judge that.
