Why do programmers drink it so much?

But why do webdevs fetishise it so much, they put it everywhere

its a running gag

I feel like people "fetishize" all drugs really, some often become drug evangelists. Especially psychedelics and LSD, or kratom, in movies people often smoke and it looks "cool". And so coffee too.

Bare with me on this one. Here in 20-30 years caffeine will be considered as bad a nicotine is now. Back then companies sold cigarettes by saying they reduced stress. And with little medical history people thought they were good for you. The same thing will happen with caffeine, everyone is getting addicted to it now. And people say it give you more energy, but it stays in your system for 24 hours, thus messing with your sleep and reducing your energy levels. And since you didn't sleep well guess what, that's right you drink more caffeine the next morning to make up for it. In 20 years we will see ads saying "caffeine is a drug, if you have a addiction to caffeine call now to get the help you deserve".

nicotine is not really that harmful or addictive though

yeah, I meant the world view will become as bad as it is towards nicotine. Like the anti cigarette commercials the pictures that have to put on boxes and not being able to advertise to kids.

I can’t drink it as I’m afraid to trigger my cocaine withdrawal. Damn do I miss it sometimes. :|

I work in the medical field as a nurse. I'm more fucking coffee than man. It allows you to focus and push through having to lift that fat fuck who is over reacting about too much pain from a broken toe.

I made the switch from the coffee meme to tea.

Feel a million times better having a few cups of tea with the theanine content as opposed to blood pressure raising memejuice.

Why not enjoy both?

We have to make sacrifices in life

>not really that harmful or addictive though
Nicotine is unironically one of the strongest neurotoxins known to man. A single drop of a concentrated solution can off you through skin contact.

I think my job is getting me addicted to coffee. I rarely drank it before, but I started a new job, and we go to Starbucks twice a day. Now I feel sluggish if I don't get my fix. I usually get a drip coffee though because I am also fat.

Lemme guess: American?

It's basically the modern day version of smoking.
I'm sure in fifty years we'll all realize that coffee is as much of a drug as smoking.

I went teetotaler after years of massive coffee consumption and ended up having two really shitty weeks from caffeine deprivation.
Now I'm very vulnerable to caffeine and can really appreciate how evil this stuff really is.

Western society is addicted to this shit and no one even cares, even though our sleep cycles are already fucked enough even without throwing in a substance that makes you sleepy but incapable of sleep if you do not ingest it.

Of course caffeine is a drug - and its a mild stimulant just like nicotine.

the difference is it doesn't give you and everyone around you lung cancer. The reason nicotine is frowned on is because of all the nasty side effects its delivery systems cause.

>stimulants are drugs
High IQ posts

>addicted to caffeine
Am i supposed to listen to musings on medicine of some retard who doesn't know the difference between addiction and dependence?

>coffee is a drug! im so smart!!!

Meanwhile....
>The protein in dairy, casein, is digested into smaller peptides and there are a family of active agents called casomorphins. The desire for cheese can be blocked by the same medicines used to reverse drug overdoses in emergency rooms!
>The blood in meat contains albumin, hemoglobin and gamma globulin and all of these chemicals activate opioid receptors. When meat eaters were treated with a drug used to block opiate receptors, ham consumption fell by 10%, salami by 25% and tuna by 50%!
>Gliadin is a protein in wheat that has opiate activity and is sometimes referred to as gliadorphin. There is also a protein in rice that produces similar effects. If you can't stop reaching for the bread bowl, it's most likely because of this feel-good chemical trap.

The definition of drug is so bad, you can qualify water and oxygen for it.

The pure substance yeah, but the small amounts in tobacco don't kill you.
Tobacco is dangerous as a product. Even if you removed all nicotine from it, probably all the harmful effects (cancers...) will still be there.

Dihydrogen monoxide is a dangerous neuroactive compound that has no place near our children.

>Even if you removed all nicotine from it, probably all the harmful effects (cancers...) will still be there.
Obviously

Dihydrogen monoxide and Hydroxylic acid are the jewish poison reducing white man fertility and making us gay.

life is tough.. get over it snowflake

Then stay away from energy and soft drinks. Water, tea, coffee and perhaps alcohol during special occasions is all you ever need.

>It's basically the modern day version of smoking.
How so? Both smoking and coffee drinking are a part of Western culture for hundreds of years now.

who here fresh bean/ fresh grinds espresso at home? ive got a baratza sette with a miss silvia.. but ive had an eye on the la marzocco linea mini

>drinking pressurized bean water
no way fag

What do you think java is named after?

the island in Indonesia newfag

Lol faggot. Just get aeropress, cheap manual stone grinder and buy coffee from local roastery. I wouldn't even bother with this and just have them grind it for me if the freshly roasted beans didn't smell so fucking good to me.

An Island, you dumb fucking zoomer.

Who here /chocolate coated roasted coffee beans/?

and that island is know for making a popular blend of what?

Volcanos

People try to normalize their addictions and downplay negative side-effects because it's more bearable than realizing that they are vulnerable to getting addicted to things just like everyone else on the planet and withdrawal symptoms suck.

Coffee is the second biggest drug scheme relying on collective will full blindness on the planet, rivaled only by cigarettes during the first half of the last century.

Ecosystems

Coffee makes you look cool but doesn't mess up with your head like alcohol and is accepted anywhere unlike cigarettes

We have actual good coffee here in spaghettiland, and we drink it for the taste alone.
Fuck burgers and their disgusting Starbucks shit, acting like it's cocaine-lite.

Webdevs are literally insane. I'm not memeing. Have you ever peeked inside their "community"? Absolutely bonkers. They act like a bunch of coked up evangelical christians, but "tech" instead of god. Zoomers indeed, but even the 30 year old ones are like that. It's nuts.

who here /gofuckyourself/?

There are tons, and tons, and tons of studies on caffeine and coffee. People literally set out with fire in their heart to prove it's bad for you. The result of all this work says it's actually not bad for you at all, and even has beneficial properties when used correctly (roughly a cup of coffee a day).

>probably
No, assuredly. The nicotine isn't the problem at all and isn't even super addictive by itself. There's a ton of other shit in there to make it addictive as fuck, and the whole cocktail plus inhaling burning shit is the problem. Smoke from pretty much anything is carcinogenic by itself.
But just nicotine? It's a neat mildly addictive nootropic, but since caffeine exists there's no reason to use it.

Just like there are 30 yo boomers, there are 30 yo zoomers too.
I got that feeling as well, worshipping "tech" as if it were a god.

It's because they don't actually understand what they're doing, but webdev doesn't require fundamental understanding if you can follow a guide and download 50 npm packages.

I fucking hate it and it doesn't work anyway

Coffee makes my stomach upset. Too bad because I like the taste and smell of coffee.

I drink two one-two cups a day, depending on how much I slept the night before. How do you even get addicted to this shit, last year I quit my previous job in June and I stopped drinking coffee on the spot, after a whole year of drinking it on every work day (I did realise I should not drink it unless I know I'm tired though, no more random coffees after a good night's sleep). Guess what, I had no side effects. I guess you are either weak or memeing, this fast juice just helps you focus and not fall asleep. Started again because I got a job recently, same field (webdev), now I drink tea or water on good days. It's a simple pick-me-up, you treat it as if it was a lifestyle. The good thing about that is joking on the subject, humour is critical to the morale of the team, saying jokes like "a programmer drinks coffee and shits code" is nice, have the bants with your team while it lasts, that's the biggest difference between workplaces, it helps build a familiarity that removes any awkwardness from conversations (it's important to socialise in a team, as your tasks might depend on someone else's). Enough with the social theory, stop memeing the bean water, drink it only if you know you're fucked tired.

Because it's the most accessible stimulant duuuh.

most people drink coffee to take shits, moron. 30% of old people's heart attacks are linked from exaggeration of taking shits coffee literally saves lives

are americans incapable of defecating naturally?

Tu madre

I only drink bean water after my dindins

am I going to die, Jow Forums

Fuck all this talk of good vs bad, tell me how Jow Forumseeks love their coffee?

My choice of poison is mocha. Extra fine grind of light to medium roasted beans. Double shot of espresso, steamed and frothed whole milk, and Hershey's chocolate syrup.

If I'm feeling something unsweet, I'll grind my beans coarsely, pull out the french press and follow this guide
blog.bluebottlecoffee.com/posts/pro-tips-french-press

The secret in fine coffee is high quality whole beans ground right before use and filtered water.

I only drink piping hot bean water, user
