Solid post, froge approved.

I wake up not hungry. I do wake up with an unnatural tendency to want a coffee before a shower, which is definitely a sign of addiction. But food is not a motivator for me to get out of bed

My motivator to get out of bed is not getting fired and feeding the cat. I seldom drink coffee. Made well I enjoy the taste, but it's ever been good at keeping me awake or making me productive.

Same. I eventually figured out that this is likely a symptom of my adult ADHD, and I either need unhealthy amounts of coffee or something a little stronger

I just cut out caffeine 99% a few years ago. If I ever do have any, it's a little more effective. And if I go backpacking in the woods for a week and don't have any, no withdrawals. I don't miss it at all. Occasionally I make myself a decaf.

I don't even ever get the physical withdrawals or any noticeable effects, regardless of how often I do or don't drink it. So, since my partner really does need the coffee first thing in the morning and I'm making it anyway, I usually have a cup because I like the taste and ritual. But when she's out of town or getting coffee elsewhere, I hardly ever have any caffeine.

The exception is when I was taking Adderall every day, I really did feel some effects from the caffeine, mostly potentiating the amphetamine. I do miss that aspect of being medicated

Having to pee is what gets me out of bed. Might be a sign of addiction, data still inconclusive.

The problem is that most people who have casual conversations about quantum physics are just jerking each other off. They're trying to impress each other by being able to describe ideas that other people came up with.

It's kind of like when a parent thinks that their kid is a genius for being able to use an ipad. The talented people were the UI designers of the iPad, not the kid.

The time machine guy is at least trying to be funny.

If you don’t have friends that jerk your off, that’s on you and your Schroeder’s Friends that both like you and hate until you ask them to touch your intimates.

Into which universe does your dick colapse?

It's just about to pass the event horizon of your black hole. I hope you don't blast me with some Hawking radiation.

I bet that kid doesn't even know what a computer is.

Me and the lady say that about getting to the weekend quicker. It's a fun thing to think of :)

There's never a wrong time for breakfast.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

how about a second breakfast?

[–] Illogicalbit@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

My brain automatically read that in Keanu Reeves’s character from the movie Parenthood.

Bill and Ted’s might also work though.

Never had a frog for breakfast. Is that grape jelly inside?
