Regardless of whether or not they're from the same day and what caffeine does: that's so much waste! If you drink at the same place, get a fucking reusable cup! Cutting down on this nonsense would do so much more than damn paper straws. It's not even hard. Drinking out of a nice cup is more enjoyable too. I really hate when I forgot my thermos or a store refuses to fill it

There are 2 reusable McDonald's cups right there

Do you think its these? McDonald’s and Loop join forces on reusable coffee cup pilot

Interesting concept, i hope its gone well.

I start having headaches, and shaking after 4.

When you hit that wall you just power through and get your second wind.

It's because you've started vibrating, but you're not yet at healthy idle revs, like a Datsun 120Y just started on a cold morning. Another 2 coffees and you'll be purring just right. 6 more and would actually have conscious control over the vibrational energy of the electrons in your body, and you'll be able to phase right through solid objects, like plate glass, if you run fast enough.

Damn, maybe consider a reusable cup?

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 22 hours ago

Or caffeine pills

There was a dangerous point in my bartending career...

I worked at a fancy restaurant, and they bought a super fancy (like $35k) automatic espresso machine, that ground the beans to order and everything, with a touch screen.

I accidentally discovered that, if I got a little grease on my finger before telling it to make me a double shot, after it poured one, it would think my finger was still on the button, and immediately start pouring another.

So I would make a pint of espresso each evening for espresso martini, and then a quart for myself.

Brain: It is what it is.
Heart: But not for long.

After his 13th cup he will get a meeting invite from his manager and HR to share some news with him. Prioritize your health and your family folks. No one gives a shit how hard you worked, you are just another worker bee making some filthy rich fucks richer

We get paid overtime 🤷‍♂️

In 20 years the only people who will remember you worked late will be your kids.
Your job posting will be up before your obituary.

I like that the amount of pleasure he provided them with dropped sharply after his death. The opposite would have been troubling..

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (3 children)

That's nice. My HR recommends improving health by doing yoga at home and making a better personal spending plan.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 day ago

Not a raise though. Just figure out how to spend less.

At 14 cups, he starts phasing out of our reality at the quantum level

@xylogx I love your keyboard. I have the same. For 18 years now. If i die i want to be buried with it. Like an ancient warrior. And if your employer allows: Get one of these tiny espresso machines, the take up less space than the cups 😜

[–] Coldgoron@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Just know the recommend intake of caffeine is sub 400mg a day.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 2 points 8 hours ago
[–] mika_mika@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I take up to 2 grams a day. I could easily take a nap for hours if all I had was 400mg of caffeine.

[–] TheSporkBomber@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

I used to be the same way, especially when working late shift at work.

Obviously its your choice, but backing down my tolerance so 200mg has an affect has greatly improved my energy levels, sleep, and some GI issues. I'd recommend you do the same if given the opportunity.

that's like 6 peepee trips minimum

[–] philophilsaurus@sh.itjust.works 3 points 22 hours ago

It’s not the peepee that gets you, it’s the loosey-deucey that follows.

Heart problems incoming

[–] DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You sure they're all from the same day?

[–] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

The fact that some of the cups are different makes me think that is unlikely.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And a regular Coke to take the edge off, I guess?

Coffee increased heartrate, like exercise, but does not open up arteries, unlike exercise, so when you drink a lot of coffee it's like making your heart pound against a wall for hours.

Make sure you get up and do regular stretching.

I used to abuse caffiene / coffee to an extreme. I had an espresso machine at home, and another in my office, and there were MANY days where was drinking more than 32 oz of espresso in a day. Most of my gastrointestinal issues can be directly attributed to this behavior. I don't suggest this to anyone.

That being said, I still can enjoy cold brew, and my morning ritual is a big tumbler with 1 cup cold brew , 1 cup water, 1 cup oat milk, and ice. That gets me through most days. I also do break it up where i switch to tea for extended periods.
