We (30-40yo guys) just played soccer, and there were too few of us. So we invited some kids who were hanging around on the fields. Well, fuck...
(The ball flies away)
Kid: I'll bring it back! (sprints after the ball like I'm not sprinting during the attack, then proceeds to run like that for the next hour)
We were only better like a pickup truck is better when it collides with a motorcycle

There is a reason endurance athletes skew older while performance athletes skew younger

I like the little 30 min - 1hr naps I get on the weekend after taking adderall

That's why I switched to boofing methamphetamine.

Nap tag: when you get tagged out, you have to take a nap. Kids will run from it and parents will happily lose.

Would you also take gifts from wealthy people? If yes, congratulations, you are now qualified to serve on the Supreme Court.

Hah! Wrong!

I don't need coffee to give me energy - at this point I need it to just manage basic consciousness.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (2 children)

It's literally how coffee (caffeine) works. You build immunity to it super fast (about a week) so you need your normal dose to feel just normal.

Good news is that you can withdraw just as quick if you want, and afterwards coffee goes back to giving you a kick of energy. Unless you drink it daily, then back to square one.

[–] masquenox 9 points 4 months ago

I will happily settle for "barely conscious" if it means I get to have coffee every day.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

I save caffeine for the weekends and always thought it made me feel awesome. Now I know why.

Hey! I can still throw 30lbs around for an hour just fine! ... I just happen to weigh a lot more than that as an adult.

Similar to why kids appear to be made of rubber. Not only are they literally more flexible, but a kid running in to a wall has a LOT less energy than an adult plowing in to it. That energy difference has to come from effort.

To go the same speed, adults quite literally have to use a shitload more energy.

Coffee as a stimulate does nothing for me. I have ADHD and it acts like a suppressant instead. But, beyond the addiction I’ve grown accustomed to having for it, I also enjoy the ritual of spending the first hour or two of my morning (at least on weekends) sitting with my coffee and catching up on current memes and events.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

Coffee time is the best meme time.

[–] devfuuu 2 points 4 months ago

Having coffee is kinda mandatory to be able to poop somewhat regularly. Besides that all other effects are mostly moot for me. Except that sometimes it makes my heart race in bad ways.

[–] IsThisAnAI 11 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

I just like the taste of good coffee. I have to limit myself to one of two cups a day and I'd be shaking I bet.

Most folks don't really try expensive specialty beans or move beyond drip coffee. If most decaffeinated coffee wasn't garbage I'd switch out at least carry both.

I know this is pretentious, I still think it's true.

I recently had a light roast fermented with a mix of citrus fruit. The result was almost like a really fully bodied tea with hints on citrus. Low acid and bitterness. But it costs $35/12oz and is limited batch which is way more than most want to deal with.

Decent espresso starts at like $600 buy in so they can't experiment that route either.

I will forever advocate good coffee methods. An electric kettle and a French press or Clever dripper will always taste better than a Mr. Coffee pot dripper. Even with less than great coffee brands/grounds.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Oh, definitely. I have an electric moka pot in the office, and the coffee it makes is miles better than that weird paper disk coffee machine the company bought.

That being said, it is less forgiving on poor roasts than a French press, but I've had good results with Cameron's Hawaiian blend and Aerial Resupply's MOAB robusta.

Eh, I've read that caffeine is healthy to consume. Bottoms up!

[–] IsThisAnAI -1 points 4 months ago

I'm pretty sure being Shakey is still to much lol

[–] MisterNeon 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

At this point coffee in me is like oil in a car.

[–] ZagamTheVile 8 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Yeah. It's not about having energy. At this point it's about just being functional. At best.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

My grandma was the same. Made me never touch coffee because she was scary before her morning coffee and I never wanted to become like that

[–] Klear 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

There are days I need a coffee just to have enough energy to make myself a coffee. Those days suck.

[–] MisterNeon 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I do cold brew so I get everything done the night before.

[–] Klear 2 points 4 months ago

Sometimes I tend to leave my morning coffee barely touched as I rush to work, and it's always such a lovely surprise when I get home. Hot coffee is great. Cold coffee is refreshing. Lukewarm coffee is one of the foulest substances known to man.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

i barely even want to be functional in the first place, please don't make me.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

honestly once I quit caffeine the energy started to just be there on its own again.
