Drugs are cool and good actually : kalm
I find that the balmer peak holds not just for alcohol, but tracks better for most other drugs. Coding after smoking a joint is great.
I’ve never had much success with this. It starts out fine and then I’m like “I’m being stupid, I should write some code to write this code for me.” Then later “I should write some code that will write the code that’ll write the code for me.” Then I get lost in all the abstraction and say “fuck it, I’ll just play a video game”.
I just end up refactoring the same 3 classes, pass out, and wake up to clean code with documentation. It’s like the cobbler and the elves but code and weed.
Sometimes I wonder if in 75 years people will look back on our caffeine use in this generation like we currently look back at cocaine use in products in the 19th century. Until then, I continue to slurp down coffee like that is my actual job.
Caffeine is pretty well studied and it’s known that the long term health effects are nothing close to cocaine. I doubt if there was any good science back then on the long term effects of cocaine, let alone enough education for the populace to know and understand it.
However social perceptions may change anyway. What we consider as not serious may be considered much more serious in the future. For example many people get headaches or even migraines as a withdrawal symptom of caffeine, and we don’t consider a headache to be serious.
But I saw a Star Trek episode once where Picard gets a headache and it was a big deal because those had been solved for hundreds of years by that time! Turns out the ferengi were controlling his mind or something. So caffeine may be considered a serious drug in the future if it interferes with the detection of alien mind control devices.

What is this, a meme for Mormons?
Same issue but with sleep time 😱
Drug addiction is only negative if it causes you problems in life, and I’d say that coffee doesn’t really cause me problems in life.
Until you miss one…
Says the water addict. Oh, look at me! I can’t go three days without water!
Coffee addict is technically water addict, too

Unintentional Lemmy moment
I get anxiety issues from Coffee and tend to feel completely exhausted at the end of days. I try to ditch it and mostly replace it with Jasmine Tea, Oolong or Yerba Mate

Dehydrated with a liquid that is made of 99% water? I’ve been told a long time ago that this is a myth, but frankly, I don’t know.

Caffeine makes you pee a lot
