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.

Let’s also consult Wikipedia:

Stimulants (also known as central nervous system stimulants, or psychostimulants, or colloquially as uppers) are a class of psychoactive drugs that increase alertness. They are used for various purposes, such as enhancing attention, motivation, cognition, mood, and physical performance. Some stimulants occur naturally, while others are exclusively synthetic. Common stimulants include caffeine, nicotine, cocaine (including crack cocaine), amphetamine/methamphetamine, methylphenidate, and modafinil. Most stimulants are highly addictive and damage health when addicted.
