Isn’t the reason that plants invented caffeine in the first place was precisely to ward off pests, particularly arthropods? And it’s just cool as shit that it does other effects to mammals other than killing us?

Don’t you dare try to take away my coffee.

Eating chillies is sadomasochism.

Fun tingles? They're great and are required for some meals.

Yeah, arthropods have some of the same neurotransmitters and similar receptor proteins but it's very different in their nervous system.

That 56 sparks street, Ottawa, right?

Mamadou Ndiaye - aka Casual Geographic - needs to come here and do so, so many new Hinterland Who's Who eps for us.

We should give him a new passport as part of the deal if he wants it. He's like a national treasure for more than a few nations.

Today I learned caffeine has a similar effect on spiders to what alcohol has on humans. That spider is drunk.

Imagine what it's like to be tripping balls with 8 eyes.

[–] neons@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 month ago

Are the other ones also not true? And I was so invested!

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 0 points 1 month ago

Okay so I know I'm not a spider but like, where do I sign up for these trials?

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

I never considered that nasa might fund other forms of research besides just space. Or where they going to test LSD + no gravity next

But complex analysis is surprisingly tame, at least any differentiable functions are locally infinite polynomials. Real analysis, on the other hand.. shudders

What about 8 glasses of water, eggs, milk, fruits, yogurt, vegetables and nuts?

[–] technohacker@programming.dev 0 points 1 month ago

I dunno if I wanna have 8 glasses of vegetables

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

The spider would burst

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Isn't this spider thing fake?

[–] Chadus_Maximus@lemm.ee 0 points 1 month ago

It is a lot funnier if we pretend that it isn't.

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 0 points 1 month ago

Yes it is an old meme.
