There is no such thing as caffeine addiction. It's so good for you that people who don't use it are doomed to failure whereas influencers like me get to ride the gravy train because I support Big Coffee.
Did you know important historical figures, much like historical losers but those don't count, drank coffee? That is why it works!
I wish our culture would harness the power of psychosomatic snacks to achieve weight loss
Tell Coca Cola to put coke in their drinks again and people will not realise they're hungry.
>countless shitty reboots for the babies >absolutely no spin-off for the parents

Sorry, for adult animation you're only allowed the Simpsons provided it's a Lisa Simpson episode.
there's no addiction to caffeine. "withdrawal" is people who use it to cover from lack of sleep and tiredness, so when it wears off they feel... tired. Sleep and it's gone.
Another factual proof is that people who drink coffee can't get a "fix" by drinking tea, which has the same aount of caffeine. Because it's not the caffeine people like, it's the taste of the coffee.
>caffeine addiction is real
withdrawl from caffeine addiction is a minor headache and drowsiness for like two days.
You can avoid it by only have coffee on weekdays but abstaining on the weekends.
It's real in the same way that a papercut is a real wound.
Back in freshman year college I had a bunch of early morning labs + classes. I enjoyed some campus coffee basically everyday because they had neat flavors and it tasted pretty good. After the semester and I went cold turkey I had massive headaches that aspirin was not fixing. Literally all u could do was sleep it off.
My campus used to have fricking incredible coffee from a local roasting company. I went back after two years to visit a friend and it had all become Starbucks.
Psychosomatic, not psychosemetic. The latter isn't a word. Caffiene definitely isn't a placebo or psychosomatic, though some of its affects probably are.
You feel tired from adenosine binding to the A1 recoetors. Caffeine blocks adenosine from binding, thus making you feel alert and also helping you feel better. You still suffer the rest of the physical affects of being tired, it just blocks the mental affects.
Shit can be addicting in a way. I think if you take a lot of it regularly it can actually be physiologically addicting, but mental dependence is also a b***h. I used to take a ton of ibuprofen daily because of chronic pain due to an old injury but stopped because I didn't want to develop a stomach ulcer. It was genuinely hard to stop what had become a habit at that point.
It works and its readily available. Chronic pain sucks and there is no good chemical answer but some are better than others. I did have a doctor try to prescribe me medical marijuana, but I was working for the feds at the time so that wasn't an option. Instead I got a prescription for a moderately stronger NSAID that doesn't have the same risks as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Overall I'm really just trying to stay away from opioids.
Oh trust me on this anon whatever you do don't let docs start you on opiates cause if you're dependent on ibuprofen you will get addicted in no time. I think anyone with an addictive personality would get addicted to opiates honestly. Even if you get clean and sober you still have cravings from time to time and end up relapsing because somehow when you're sober drugs find you but when you were fiending and in withdrawals you cant get shit.
I drank 1 monster every morning and 3-6 cans of pepsi throughout the day for decades, but I had to quit and change my lifestyle because my blood pressure was dangerously high.
There is no energy difference between caffeinated and zero caffeine, but when I take a sip of it now it feels almost like a high. Just have to use it strategically.
>Subnormal misspells psychosomatic for psychosematic >Read it psychosemitic >The image of a psychotic orthodox rabbi due a mental breakdown pops out in my mind.
That could be a good idea for an existential dark humor webcomic.
>coffee in morning >tea in evening
It's fine. Probably. What helped my energy levels was real meals and not poorgay frozen shit. You kids need nutrition long after your teens and early 20s.
Actually daily coffee and/or tea is better than fine. It is good for you, especially as you age. Both drinks contain good levels of antioxidants which are generally lacking in the high processed western diet.
Coffee is a fricking curse, like unicorn blood. Nobody tells you about all the horrible things you get if you try to quit, like headaches, brain fog, constipation, etc and it's likely you just keep drinking it until you die
I was up to 2-3 cups everyday before I finally cut it out for good. I definitely am slower to ramp up in the morning's compared to people on whatever stimulants. It's pretty annoying, but my mood is more stable overall.
>be working skycap job >understaffed and way overworked >hate it but the money is actually pretty decent so I put up with it for now >wake up at 2:30 in the fricking morning, it's always busy when I get in and I open alone >drink an energy drink on the way to work >maybe another if I didn't sleep well the night before right at the start of my shift >usually a coffee at lunch >anywhere between 1-3 more energy drinks when the need arises during the day >one after work if I'm gonna be busy >another later on if it's my friday
Yeah I have an addiction. I fully expect my insides to be calcified by the time I hit 40. I could stop though, if I just went to sleep super early but I'd rather not tbh.
My friend used to drink so much energy drinks when in school that he’d literally get shakes. It’s why I never got into them. Well, that and they taste like piss and are expensive.
My friend chugged energy drinks and sodas in high school like warer then in his twenties had several kidney stones. My biggest fears the older I get is what habits from yesterday will catch me tomorrow.
>Never fell for the coffee israelite >When I wake up in the morning I feel like utter shit for 10 minutes but then I'm fine
I just never liked the taste of coffee.
Are you me? I've never drank coffee and drink like a bottle of soda a month. Waking up in the morning is a pain but pretty much wears off by the time I'm done taking a shit.
>DUDE COFFEE XD. SO WHACKY!!! DON'T TALK TO ME UNTIL I'VE HAD MY COFFEE!!!
Do North Americans/South Americans/Contential Europeans/Northen Europeans/Thai landers and Algerians REALLY!?!?!
Wouldn't it make sense for the mug to be clear so the person can see where the remaining coffee is at on the "Don't bother me until I have had my coffee" scale?
It is a percolator. When Dexter and Dee Dee make coffee you even see coffee sputter up at the top of the knob.
Percolators were much more popular in the past before drip coffee took over, but today is almost effectively dead with how easy other methods are (and with how typically disliked percolator coffee tastes).
I know but is that percolators are so extinct and seeing one — in dexter out of all places, is just so out of left field
They got hit hard in the mid 70s but as with anything there were still people slow to adapt. Though, since it was so prevalent really up until the 80s is also pretty iconic, or at least would have been when Dexter was being made. I doubt kids these days would recognize it.
I think a lot of the stories and experiences of Dexter's Lab were just the writers retelling events from when they were children, and that's how their parents would have made it.

I actually enjoy the percolator taste purely for nostalgia from camping, but goddamn if drip coffee isn't easier, especially with machines that can be set to go at a certain time. Wake up and coffee is ready. Though if its the weekend I will use a percolator or moka pot.
I have difficulty keeping my moka pot coffee from getting too strong. I often add a bit of water once its done brewing to cut its strength down a bit.
I don't have a coffee machine and don't think I ever will. If I want drip coffee I just use my V60.
In my experience if you start with cold water, then as the water heats up the coffee my also start to burn a bit and it will taste too strong. The key is to get water going through the coffee asap and then taking it off the heat as soon as it is done extracting. I start with hot water so it starts brewing faster, and I run the bottom under some cold water for just a second or two to stop the brewing once it starts to sputter instead of flow into the top portion. If it immediately starts to sputter when the brewing begins then you are rushing it too much. Its definitely a finicky way to make coffee and I have zero patience for it if I'm in a weekday rush, but its a good way to start a weekend morning. Also, if you are using a bialetti you need to make sure you are maintaining the rubber gasket, if you don't clean that part between uses then it will wear out. The pot will have to build up more pressure to begin brewing, it will take longer to start going and the coffee will burn.
Yes, I start with boiling water too, by first using a kettle to boil it, then putting it in the moka pot reservoir. I keep the heat just right so that the coffee just comes out of the moka pot stem and doesn't sputter out (indicating the steam is getting way too hot and pressurized).
I might look in to getting a new gasket for my Bialetti though. I think I may have damaged it early on by tightening the top too far and basically crushing and splitting the edge of the gasket a bit. I can see where it has a crack in it, and occasionally small amounts of water come out from between the top and bottom, indicating it has less of a seal.

Its all trial and error with those things. If you have water coming out at the gasket then I'm willing to bet your brewing process is taking longer than it should. I used to way overtighten mine and it would frick with the gasket, I think the key is to trust that if it isn't damaged then the rubber will work, no need to over do it.
I always heard coffee myths growing up so I made it a point to avoid it like I do with drugs. Whenever I share this people who were sort of chuckling up to that point stops.
I've been a coffee fiend for thirteen years, and I'm finally trying to quit. Haven't had a good night's sleep in I don't know how long. There's other reasons I'm fricked up, like almost dying once, but coffee aint what it used to be. Sorry for the blogpost.
Coffee still tastes nasty to me.
I have 'acquired' many tastes as I have gotten older. I like most types of vegetables. I like many alcoholic beverages. Sushi is amazing.
But coffee still tastes like dirt water no matter how many times I try it.
A lot of people/restaurants will frick up coffee by leaving it on the hotplate, which breaks down the flavors and makes it taste like shit. Also, most coffee is garbage, you need relatively fresh beans to make a real good cup of coffee (Note: Locally roasted does not equal fresh). Finally, coffee is an earthy taste with potential bitter notes,and just isn't for everyone, but I do consider people who can't appreciate it to be inferior.
I've become big fan of cold brewing. It uses less energy and extracts much less bitterness, but preserving most of the essential "coffee" flavor. All you need is coffee grounds, some pitchers, a strainer and a paper towel to make cleanup easier.

A lot of people have only drank shit coffee because a lot of people are bad at making it. They leave it on a hot plate, or they use way too hot water, or they use REALLY shitty instant coffee. For a lot of people, instant coffee is their only experience with coffee, which is like saying you hate ramen because your only experience has been Maruchan (though Maruchan is pretty alright for what it is).
Just likes that one Rugrats episode
which one
The one with Stu on the stove that became a meme
Extremely true specially for Stu, Drew and Chas, that’s pretty much my friend group
>countless shitty reboots for the babies

I just want to fricking kill myself.
me too. hug me bro
I do not do hugs.
maybe thats why you want to have a nice day?
Frick off.
skateboard SKATEBOARD
It still amazes me that they erased Howard from existence just to make Betty a confirmed lesbian. It really tells who why they’re making these reboots
That's fricking stupid too, because Betty is supposed to represent the quintessential 90's soccer mom. Hard going, boisterous, and a bit loud.
Goddamnit
I would purchased rendered fat from Stu.
Frick you m8
jokes on you, I have no friends.
Damn. Saved
Reminder that Rugrats once referenced Jack Kevorkian the doctor who committed multiple cases of geriatric suicide.
*assisted suicide
What?
Look up the Episode 'Home Movies'
Grandpa Boris calls him because he didn't want to deal with Stu's Home Movies
lol
A 90's cartoon referenced 90's current events? Shocking.
Not really, I don't drink coffee. Tastes nasty.

No it doesn't. Only morons get addicted to coffee or drink it at all
Idk I'm an adult and never needed to get hard carried by Coffee
Only if you buy into the idea Coffee actually physically gives you energy as opposed to being largely psychosematic.
>Only if you buy into the idea Coffee actually physically gives you energy
It does, I wake up as a living corpse until I have coffee

I'm 39 and while I enjoy the occasional cup,I've never been a hopeless caffeine addict. My addiction is ibuprofen!

I'm still not drinking coffee.
I drank 1 monster every morning and 3-6 cans of pepsi throughout the day for decades, but I had to quit and change my lifestyle because my blood pressure was dangerously high.
There is no energy difference between caffeinated and zero caffeine, but when I take a sip of it now it feels almost like a high. Just have to use it strategically.
Yes, that's psychosematic.
If anything it's the effervescence of carbonated drinks that give you that "high", drinking seltzer or mineral water would give you the same effect.
I wish our culture would harness the power of psychosomatic snacks to achieve weight loss

You have to go back to black twitter.
No, it doesn't, because I never developed an addiction to caffeine.
I don't drink coffee. I drink beer

What type of tea?
Nerver try it but seems good

That's why you should drink white and green tea like a civilized person.

Same
wtf
You may have ADD. I've heard caffeine has the opposite effect on the non-neurotypical.
Coffe and energy drinks also don't make me more awake. Just stressed and frustrated and i usually don't feel very good after drinking them too.
My friend used to drink so much energy drinks when in school that he’d literally get shakes. It’s why I never got into them. Well, that and they taste like piss and are expensive.
My ex gf used to drink like 2-3 tin cans of BLACK energy. Was surprised her heart didn't fricking explode. She was also small and thin too.

Why would you be surprised to see it in Dexter, that came out in a time when you could reasonably see some holdout still using a percolator.
I thought percolator went out of fashion by the 60's or 70's
