aka hevromero in many places. I'm a graphic designer and hobby illustrator. My art is over here. This is my general purpose posting/reblog tumblr!. You'll see some shitposts, cute birds and dogs, bits of info I think are useful, and other random cute or funny (to me) stuff. Black tea and hot chocolate fan. ☕️

Something nobody told me about caffeine is that you can get withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking it

Like

I went from consuming NO caffeine, to slowly escalating to around 150-300mg of caffeine a day to keep up with sleep issues, to suddenly stopping cold turkey when I flew out to the middle of nowhere and couldn’t get more and it was straight up a solid 5-6 days of thinking I had the flu

Nausea, spins, major fatigue, and some seriously heinous headaches

It was so bad that after two weeks without I swore I’d never pick up an energy drink again and made an appointment with a doctor to fix my sleep issues

Like. Not to be all “oooooh your body is a temple” but if I knew quitting CAFFEINE had similar effects as running out of my prescription meds I might have been a bit more careful drinking it in the first place

[existennialmemes]

I'm sorry. My soapbox has been activated.

Caffeine is a

Drug

And don't get me wrong, I love drugs. I think they're rad. I think there should be fewer barriers between most drugs and adults using them.

However, something that I think is fundamentally immoral is giving someone a drug without telling them:

That it's a drug

What the full possible effects of the drug are including side effects

What the withdrawal effects are like

And society treats caffeine like it's not a drug. We act like it's not a stimulant. We sell it on street corners. We sell in schools, to children.

We don't tell you what the withdrawals are like. We don't even acknowledge that there will be any, even though they can be severe.

In addition to what OP listed, other possible withdrawal symptoms include:

Hand Tremors

Anxiety

Irritability

Brain Fog

Low Mood

Insomnia (yes, counterintuitive as it may seem this is common withdrawal symptom)

Muscle Pain/Stiffness

Caffeine is a stimulant drug that causes physical dependency quite rapidly. The withdrawal symptoms can persist for days to months.

I reiterate that I think drugs are cool. I'm drinking a caffeinated beverage as I type this. But I feel strongly that we should treat drugs like they're drugs. We should not pretend that the legality of a substance negates its status as A Drug™

[kyraneko]

All things are coolest when they're used wisely and with understanding.

This is another place we hide all the "nobody used to have ADHD" people, like yeah, sure, nobody had ADHD because they used to self-medicate with a pack of cigarettes and three pots of coffee a day! It is maybe actually safer to hand out the regulated and dosed amphetamines to people who need them!

i don't think you can conclude that people picking the 50k are inumerate. the right choice would depend on the individuals utility function and current wealth, right?

People are so stupid about snakes. If there's a little black racer chilling outside just leave it alone, you don't have to kill it, it's probably dealing with all your pests for you, jesus christ

[headspace-hotel]

If you kill a non venomous snake that's just silly and cruel and betrays a disgusting worldview of blind hatred and fear of other beings,

and if you kill a venomous snake that's VERY STUPID because trying to kill a venomous snake is the best way to get bitten by a venomous snake.
