@quark@ferengi.one It’s as close as coffee as you can get. 😅 They take the beans, apply magic, and then most of the caffeine is gone. You can also buy whole decaf’d beans and then grind them yourself. It does kill some of the flavor – but it’s not like you’re drinking black water.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I had to look it up! “Is decaf coffee real coffee?”

“Yes, decaf coffee is real coffee. It’s made from the same coffee beans as regular coffee, but the caffeine content is significantly reduced through a decaffeination process. This process involves removing 97% or more of the caffeine, leaving behind the coffee’s flavors and aromas.”

OK then! 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de no wonder Tux doesn’t sleep all night! Look at his eyes, all wide open. Please, stop giving him Fuck-ing coffee! :-D

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de The side effects ARE what got me into drinking coffee in the first place, now it feels like I’m fighting them back for my life 😅

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Oh, been there. I only drink decaf now. It’s great, you can have the taste of a good coffee whenever you like – without the side effects. 😃

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I use to be a pot or more a day but have cut that back in the last 4 or so years to just 2-3 cups. Main reason was because I was getting jittery which didn’t happen before. I do think it is good to go without periodically (probably applies to more things than coffee) to just reset the system.

I don’t drink it often but decaf’s taste has gotten better too.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com oh nooo i’ve been there. i have to balance out my abnormal coffee consumption with my anxiety medication which can’t be good lol

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com weekend coffee—the one mum brews, not the “dirty water” one can get elsewhere—keeps me jittery the whole day. Like I feel my heart wants out kind of jittery. Coffee sure is some elixir. Don’t give it up! 😅

Also, I should cut down on coffee. Seriously, I’ve nearly had a … I honestly don’t know what it was; A Panic attack? A heart attack? I dunno, I just felt like my heart and lungs were so about to burst I had to go for a run to cope.

@bender@twtxt.net Holy moly 🤣 Bases on your description you’ve eaten and drunk way more than I have today where all I’ve had so far is three coffees today

I had Chick-fil-A breakfast today (sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit, hash browns, coffee, and orange juice). Then at lunch my work place offered hot dogs. I had two (kosher, if that matters), plus a coke, a macadamia nuts cookie, and a small chocolate brownie.

So, here I am, at home, feeling hungry but guilty and refusing to eat anything else for the rest of the day. To top it off, I have only clocked 4,000 steps today (and I don’t feel like walking). I am going to hell, am I?
