Science concludes cocaine does make me more social.

My favourite part of my day is sipping my morning cup, sitting in the back yard and listening to the birds.

I love doing this. I sit in the back yard with my morning coffee and talk to my chickens. I look forward to it every morning.

What do the chickens have to say?

There used to be birds around and i would get nests built under my awning. I used to like hearing them but now, instead, my neighborhood is filled with stray cats and so as you can imagine: no more birds.

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We were similar, until the coyotes came back. Now we have lots of birds and lots of missing cat posters.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

That's sad. Pet cats really need to be kept indoors where they can't affect the local wildlife and are also safe from their own predators.

~~I just wanted to see the methodology for how the study was done, and I am now wondering how the media came to the conclusion that drinking coffee makes you happier based on the study's conclusion, when it is about cardiovascular mortality rates. The study itself makes no mention of happiness or mood.~~

I clicked into the wrong study. That's why 🤦‍♂️

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

No! Science! $$$

[–] Visstix@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

Oh well that explains a lot. I never had coffee

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It really does. You know what doesn’t make me happy Tariffs

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

Yeah, but coffee though!

[–] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

What doesn't make you happy tariffs?

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Correct. Especially tariffs on coffee

How many of the participants had IBD or IBS?

[–] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 2 points 2 months ago

Don't worry about that. Look over there!

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Not me cause I chug the whole thing piping hot. Really burns up my mouth but what can you do?

[–] Bubs12@lemmy.cafe 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Why do you insist on solving problems instead of just listening?

[–] not_woody_shaw@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Wait for it to cool down so you can taste it when you chug the whole thing luke warm.

[–] Geodad@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It also keeps me out of jail.

I'm far less likely to slap the shit out of someone once I'm caffeinated.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think we need to study why coffee drinkers are so violent.

[–] Geodad@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I'm not aware of any correlation between caffeine consumption and violence.

Alcohol is a different story.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You do you, but FUCK that website

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I’d rather not fuck an entire website, but if I have to…
