#142At least subjectively, coffee seems to help my memory. But maybe that's why I started drinking coffee? I would probably drop coffee it was proven to have negative effects on memory.
I’m drinking to forget. ;)

It has some genuine benefits though like for liver health, for example [1]. Alcohol does the opposite.

#146This paper is not saying coffee is bad.
If anything, it leans slightly toward beneficial or neutral effects.
What broader science says (not just this paper).
Across many large studies, Coffee is associated with:
* ↓ Lowerisk of Type 2 Diabetes
* ↓ risk of Parkinson’s Disease
* ↓ overall mortality (yes, really)
Downsides (for some people):
* Anxiety / jitters
* Poor sleep
* Increased heart rate

#147thirty-one participants were moderate coffee-drinkers (CD, i.e., people that usually consume between 3 to 5 cups of coffee per day). 3-5 is moderate? To me, 3 is already high. Also, sample size is pretty low and they're all Irish.

#148Was this thread invaded by AI? Casually reading the first comments, 3 different users mentioned they had a recent "mental health incident" related to caffeine?? Search this page for "mental health incident"
Possibly AI, possibly younger folks (18-24). “Mental health incident” is only one step removed from algospeak like “unalived”, “seggs”, and “neurospicy”. A detached, memetic phrase that has been implanted into the lexicon by a toxic brew of algorithmic social media moderation and heavy exposure to LLM conversational patterns.

#149Earlier quoted context omitted.
What stimulants have you landed on? And do you feel they're better for you? I'm pondering getting a coffee machine at home. 400 EUR is not a sizable investment and one I'd have forgotten about it 3 months but I'm getting cold feet when it gets to committing. Americano coffee definitely picks me up and is a full net positive for me. But that's only if I drink 2-3 times a week. Not sure how it's going to be if I start…
Get yourself a moka pot, aeropress or French press. Fantastic coffee for very cheap. Highly unlikely that 2-3 times a week will last though - either religiously stick to once a week or be open to drinking it daily.
I second either a moka pot or an AeroPress.
The moka pot would be better if you have easy access to cooking facilities (the stainless versions are also easier to clean, and work on induction).
The AeroPress would be better if you only have access to hot water.

#150After habitually consuming caffeine (not in coffee form) daily, usually multiple times a day, for more than a decade, a horrible mental health incident happened to me that forced me to stop it for a while. Afterwards I didn't resume the habit, and so I no longer have a tolerance. This has let me evaluate what caffeine does with fresh eyes, so to say, because I can now consume it occasionally while having many non-caf…
Same. I didn’t realize I’d been living life through a fog until fully 12 months with zero caffeine
