This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Have you tried quitting your coffee addiction?

I don't drink coffee. Why are you angry?

Do you also not drink tea and fizzy drinks?

That's not serious. Abstain from all of those for a month or two, then down two or three cups of coffee and get back to me. Even better if you keep doing alcohol during that, which is famously a depressant of aforementioned nervous system.

Not to mention that, if you don't ever drink coffee, then you aren't in a position to claim what it does or doesn't do.

I just thought the stuff about muscle contractions in your shoulders/neck sounded concerning and unusual. I've never heard anyone mention something like that before.

That stems from my sedentary life mode. But it doesn't cancel the fact that caffeine stimulates skeletal muscle, particularly considering that I'm in the perfect position to judge it.

Again, caffeine is a stimulant of the central nervous system, which leads to a bunch of effects including heightened activity and muscle tone.
