The Rules

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

It is very habit forming but that's hardly a reason for it to be illegal.

It's not nearly as addictive as nicotine or ethanol...

Or sugar.

Right. Eating is addictive. Drinking of course. And for a lot of people so is running, lol.

It's no more or less habit forming than actual grass in a very literal sense.

Moreover caffeine is proven to be far more harmful and orders of magnitude more habit forming than most illegal drugs.

Caffeine improves productivity so nobody cares about its impacts on our hearts.
