Caffeine

What is your opinion on caffeine Jow Forums? I personally have a very poor quality of life when using caffeine in any capacity, drives my sense of well being away. Should caffeine be as socially acceptable as it is? I'd like some thoughts or stories if you have 'em.

it's bad but that's not a problem because it's legal.

if meth was legal people would be using it productively too

bump

I personally don't use it very much. I don't see a problem if people do, if it works, it works. I think it's a problem when people can't make it through the day without having 10 cups of coffee.

Its amazing and addicting but not good for you.

Yeah, productively taking 3 hours to change a chain on a shitty BMX bike in the middle of the night.

It's fine only if you drink diet coke.

Had the fear put in to me of the caffeine Jew from Jow Forums, currently about 1 month in from 6-8 cups coffee a day down to 1x cup of green tea in the morning when I get up and no more caffeine. Don't feel a whole lot of difference desu but I'll carry it on and see what happens, can't be that bad I guess

So what's wrong with coffee?

I quit coffee cold turkey two weeks ago after two years of addiction. Went from 9-12 cups to 0.
Sleep improved dramatically, I can stay awake and work longer, I can also train.
My libido is down to near 0, I can pretty much nofap without even trying.

yeah, it's all I drink besides water. Could never really feel any kind of effect on me though

>what is your opinion on caffeine
its could in controlled amounts. Coffee is awful and everybody should immediately stop drinking it. tea is fine. soft drinks are really bad for your teeth but also are a great reward from a hard days work.

>should caffeine be as socially acceptable
coffee shouldnt be, soft drinks should be fine at parties or a nice alternative to alcohol, tea is fine.

10/10 yes exactly

tastes like shit

it permanently alters your DNA. dont drink it

True?

>My libido is down to near 0
Is that a good thing?

I don't know, maybe? I can still get hard, but it'll take a lot longer to orgasm.

yes. but so does eating daffodil petals or other people's poop

Big if true

When working jobs I hate around people I can't stand, I need 10 cups of coffee a day to simulate enthusiasm for my shitty job, and also to counteract the hangover from that pint of 100-proof vodka I drink every night to numb me to the pain of the depressing life I lead.

>"In 1972, a study on coffee in Biophysical Journal found that caffeine binds to broken DNA, which occurs when there is a natural or chemical change in the strand. Iff caffeine were present during the formation of DNA, it could cause breaks in the chromosomes, threadlike structures that carry genetic information."
sounds like it causes cancer? im no expert tho

Try ginseng. I can't tolerate it very well, but many people swear by it.

Source or GTFO

In a good way?

Caffeine is useful on occasion but it is terrible for your health when addicted and drinking daily.

I understand why people do it. I just think it's not a good idea. You should seek a different job, for your benefit.

if it was good, would the media be pushing us to drink it? think about it

caffeine addiction affects ~90% of american adults

that should tell you enough

it presents a rosy picture of the world. they say it be like it is, but is not.

free your mind

Drink cocoa instead, it's really more stimulating to the mind but without much caffeine. Has like 10mg per tablespoon. Blend some powder into milk. Cocoa might be the most healthy thing you can eat in terms of nutrients/antioxidants/heart and brain stuff.

I drink like 1l of coffee per day I don't see much of a problem with it.

Wellbutrin is better if you can tolerate it. For me it works better for overall focus without major sides at 150mg.

theres lot of conflicting info tho. cancer is on the rise everywhere in the world so it could be caffeine. who knows but its not natural if it literally changes your dna. id only believe its good if everyone who lived to over 100 drank 100 cups of coffee a day or something

>being affected by caffeine
weak and pathetic

Dr Broer on Rense radio archives shows caffeine doubles heart attack rates and stroke rates.

Caffeine free here, what’s the point? People become psychologically dependent on it to “wake up”

Nah not for me. Theobromine just makes your mind keep churning. You can be so tired you're body's a sluggish, dangling, zombie-like vegetable which it does nothing for, unlike some change from caffeine, yet you can't even sleep while you lie there, and the next day is just worse. At least that's what it's like for me. It just puts your brain on idle like a car you turned on after the half-lives even out the spikes of the stuff.

U on SR? XR?
Was on immediate for adhd, moves to SR. Not a fan of it

In other words, lots of chocolate just makes me a really tired insomniac in the end.

So..what you're saying is that I should switch to cocaine to get my energy boost?

yea everyone who does cocaine lives forever

Kinda like that swedish study that showed that 99 % of smokers die, so i'm taking that 1 percent chance and i'll live forever.

Only slow release here. 1 pill per day, you take it in the morning.

I get headaches when i drink coke, and then stop.

Literally what the fuck is with that. No coffee for 4 weeks, no libido still. Girlfriend is pissed. Might be to do with the mostly no porn as well, but wat. Do the jews have this much control on us? Fuck

You're supposed to snort it not drink it.

Witnessed.

actually everyone who isnt me is going to die and ill live forever since im the only real person here

I drink black coffee every morning to get the noggin joggin

I drink coffee because it tastes good and I enjoy drinking it. Probably the ideal situation is to just rarely drink it so you don't experience addiction/tolerance. Caffeine is a very effective performance booster both physically and mentally and it improves your mood. Every college user should drink it before a test or sports game. OP must just have an opposite reaction to it, maybe he's ADHD.

tastes good but makes me have the bad poopies every now and then
people who say they can't do anything without a cup of coffee are ultimate soiboy faggots

You're nothing but a filthy AI stealing triples!

kek wanted you to know its true. im sorry you had to find out this way that you're just an NPC put on this earth to entertain me

>I drink coffee because it tastes good and I enjoy drinking it.
this
>tastes good
this

if you have attention issues it probably is a good thing to lay off the coffee though, it's a stimulant, people who are naturally depressive (as in slow-working and physically indolent) benefit the most from it, if you're good as you are then it's best t oavoid it because it's only going to make you irritable

Bow to quints plz USA peasant

Wouldn't want to live forever though, seriously would you want to see the collapse of europe and beginning of complete degeneracy? Well collapse of Europe is already knocking but the part of complete destruction i'd rather not witness.

kek wanted to make fun of your non functioning dick. that was pretty funny, NPC

>Should caffeine be as socially acceptable as it is?
basically we got rid of water fountains and replaced them with starbucks

>I don't see a problem if people do,
it's killing the shrimp, they can't fuck because they can't sleep

i think good will always prevail. if it gets bad enough you could fight in a civil war to fix your country. and if u cant die, then it would be like a video game where you just wreck people all day for fun. doesnt finland have the best snipers? you could be the most well known hero afterwards.

Disrupts sleep, dehydrates, increases adrenal response, and stress response. Addictive, headaches during withdrawal.

I'm pretty sure I'm ADHD, so that could be it desu

No need for a civil war situation ain't at sweden level in finland, preparing for war against ruskies is a different scenario, time to get back karelia and make forests red with ruskie blood.

>No coffee for 4 weeks, no libido stil
use damiana tea

I didn't know caffeine was linked to libido, though I guess Tom Petty mentions it in that one song. Have you tried giving her a massage? Regular sensual activity should help you.

About snipers can't say that i'm very accurate, sure I can hit a target over 150 meters easily with a crappy RK 95 ironsight but still need to improve.

It depends entirely on a person's genes, some people are very sensitive to caffeine and some aren't. Do research into nutrigenomics and if you don't have the genetic background to understand it I suggest you start learning about genetics because what is happening in the medical field is nothing short of a revolution, humans share about 99% of their genes but 1% of those genes have different polymorphisms which means that they vary from person to person or between populations.

DNA is made up of nucleotides these are the little bars one sees often on a visualisation of a DNA strand, a nucleotide can be one of four letters Adenine, Thyamine, Cytosine and Guanine. 3 consecutive nucleotides are a codon and a sequence of codons can code for a specific genotype like blue eyes for example, the outward expression of a genotype is called a phenotype, so if you have an expressed blue eye geno type you will have the blue eye phenotype.

This DNA code doesn't do anything, it has mechanisms inside of it which read the code and express the code as needed, so if you drink a lot of milk your gut might start making more of the lactase enzyme to process the lactose, this happens on the fly, the body detects the lactose, your gut cells get the message and inside of your nucleus the gene for lactase starts being transcribed (copied) into something called mRNA, this is like someone writing down a recipe for the lactase enzyme in your cell and then passing that piece of paper to a Ribosome protein that is capable of reading this recipe and produce proteins.

The cell then releases the lactase enzyme and your body can deal with the lactose, there is something called epigenetics which means "above genetics" and these are mechanisms in the body that can turn on or off certain genes so they cannot be expressed, this is important because it keeps your skin cells from becoming tooth cells but it also helps against expressing genes that might not be favourable.

I urge everyone to start learning about genetics, if you are interested in nutrition already and you know about insulin, how food molecules get converted into energy etc then genetics shouldn't be too far off to start studying. I'm blown away about what I'm learning in the field of genetics, get on board because the future is here, genes do not dictate your future, you need to know how to influence gene expression so you can become an Ubermensch, there has never been a time in the history of man kind in which we had so much learning potential at our finger tips, go study cell biology, bio chemistry and genetics its well worth your time and effort!
