    From the moment I understood the weakness of my biology, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of the boot. I aspired to the purity of Corporate Governance. Your kind cling to your caffeine, as though it will not crash and fail you. One day the crude occupation you call a “job” will be laid off, and you will beg the Government to save you. But I am already saved, for profits are immortal… Even in death I serve the Shareholders.

    You can tell this is fake because caffeine withdrawal does NOT just cause “lethargy” people would be going home with headaches and worse.

      Should I stop drinking caffeine? I have two in the morning(7am and 8 am) and then none for the rest of the day. Am I subjecting myself to daily caffeine withdrawal?

      (I only take medical advice from random internet people btw, never LLMs or 3D doctors)

        The withdrawal symptoms would typically start in the afternoon on a day when you missed having caffeine in the morning altogether. But it will depend on your size and metabolism as well as how much caffeine you consume in one serving and how long you have been drinking it habitually.

          I have never met anyone that likes coffee on the first try. I’m not saying they don’t exist, I’m just saying most people acquire a taste for it the same way they do with alcohol.

    Noob mistake!

    A professional biological terrorist knows that you need to mix decaf beans and light roast beans (high in caffeine) into the bean reservoir at 50/50, resulting in randomly varying amounts of caffeine per brewing cycle/cup of coffee.

    Never let their caffeine tolerance know the next move!

    It’s weird to me simply because I bring my own brew. Office coffee just isn’t as good as my moka pot and if you’ve got a zojirushi or similar high quality thermos, you can have hot coffee for a majority of the day.

      Meanwhile me bringing hot water to work for a fresh brew of tea right there :p

      My KleanKanteen does the same. I was surprised how long it kept my drink actually hot (>12h).
      PS: Mine haa no plastics touching the hot liquids. Only a replaceable silicone ring.

          I make a full pot out of 2 cups worth of grounds at home lol. after I figured out my occasional weekend headaches were from caffeine withdrawal, I realized I actually had to deal with cutting back

          it is a problem now when I go to the office and can actually get full strength coffee each time. at least it’s very infrequent

        I drink 500ml of tea and water at work.
        If you can’t function without downing 3 or 4 cups of coffee, you need ro adjust something

        Moka pots are a little stronger than drip so it’s enough to keep me going. If something important is up, I might get a latte or something out… but I try to save that rush for important things so it still hits as intended.

        Oh I should also mention I haven’t worked in an office for a couple years now. Now that I teach, I go full espresso before lecture and that’s it. Lol

    I adore coffee. But how would they know the caffeine levels of the coffee? That’s just not available. It’s either decaf or not.

      Light roast tends to be more caffeinated than darker roasts.

      Also, different bean times have different amounts of caffeine, but I haven’t tested this personally.
