Damn, maybe consider a reusable cup?

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 47 minutes ago

Or caffeine pills

At 14 cups, he starts phasing out of our reality at the quantum level

After his 13th cup he will get a meeting invite from his manager and HR to share some news with him. Prioritize your health and your family folks. No one gives a shit how hard you worked, you are just another worker bee making some filthy rich fucks richer

[–] DABDA@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

In 20 years the only people who will remember you worked late will be your kids.
Your job posting will be up before your obituary.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 hours ago

I like that the amount of pleasure he provided them with dropped sharply after his death. The opposite would have been troubling..

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 12 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

That's nice. My HR recommends improving health by doing yoga at home and making a better personal spending plan.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 17 points 7 hours ago

Not a raise though. Just figure out how to spend less.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Work hard enough to not get fired

but not so hard that it affects your health or your life

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

That's fine as long as your job is paying you enough to survive/thrive. Not easy to do if you're hourly with low wage and allowed overtime or if you're dependent on a promotion.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 19 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

that's like 6 peepee trips minimum

[–] philophilsaurus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 49 minutes ago

It’s not the peepee that gets you, it’s the loosey-deucey that follows.

[–] DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 12 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

You sure they're all from the same day?

[–] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

The fact that some of the cups are different makes me think that is unlikely.

[–] Coldgoron@lemmy.zip 12 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Just know the recommend intake of caffeine is sub 400mg a day.

[–] partofthevoice@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 hours ago

I have tripled that on a drive home from my corner Starbucks before. Fun fact: the servers might be “legally required” to warn you of your poor health choices before they hand you your drink.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 2 hours ago

Brain: It is what it is.
Heart: But not for long.

There was a dangerous point in my bartending career...

I worked at a fancy restaurant, and they bought a super fancy (like $35k) automatic espresso machine, that ground the beans to order and everything, with a touch screen.

I accidentally discovered that, if I got a little grease on my finger before telling it to make me a double shot, after it poured one, it would think my finger was still on the button, and immediately start pouring another.

So I would make a pint of espresso each evening for espresso martini, and then a quart for myself.

[–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 hours ago

Wait, how's that different from just making yourself 2 double shots?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Pro tip: if that's also your reaction every time you see a coworker looking tired, saying so might not be a boon to your continued employment 🤔

[–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Equating "looking tired" with "has had 12 coffees and a soda that also has caffeine in it" is wild.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

I meant that saying "just do cocaine" to every tired looking coworker is probably inadvisable.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Depends on the industry.

Restaurant worker: "I can't until I see my guy after work, coffee will have to do for now."

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 hours ago

Depends on the industry.

You're absolutely right, I didn't consider that.

Certain parts of the music industry, and politics too.

And a regular Coke to take the edge off, I guess?

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 hours ago

The regular Coke is for a bit of sugar for nutrition

The irregular coke is to take the edge off

[–] KiwiTB@lemmy.world 9 points 6 hours ago

Heart problems incoming

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Coffee increased heartrate, like exercise, but does not open up arteries, unlike exercise, so when you drink a lot of coffee it's like making your heart pound against a wall for hours.

Make sure you get up and do regular stretching.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

Pee breaks for that

[–] moodymellodrone@sopuli.xyz 7 points 8 hours ago

Damn😂 Most I’ve gone for is 3 cups

[–] GlassHalfHopeful@lemmy.ca 7 points 7 hours ago

Their poor body...

[–] hatecoach@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

I used to abuse caffiene / coffee to an extreme. I had an espresso machine at home, and another in my office, and there were MANY days where was drinking more than 32 oz of espresso in a day. Most of my gastrointestinal issues can be directly attributed to this behavior. I don't suggest this to anyone.

That being said, I still can enjoy cold brew, and my morning ritual is a big tumbler with 1 cup cold brew , 1 cup water, 1 cup oat milk, and ice. That gets me through most days. I also do break it up where i switch to tea for extended periods.

[–] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 5 points 7 hours ago

Just fine here. I'm more interested if they had a panic attack and left work early yet.

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

This guy poops

[–] apftwb@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

Do you work for Cloudflare by chance?

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 4 points 7 hours ago
  1. Your keyboard is gorgeous
  2. I wish I had your coffee budget
  3. Ensure you're getting hydration otherwise too, right?

My caffeine was reduced 90% recently. If you wonder whether you can be more effective or sleep better on vastly reduced caffeine, I'm here to tell you that NO, there is no upside.

[–] half_built_pyramids@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

This is how you get spitters in left for dead

[–] PopcornPrincess@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

Dear god my heart hurts looking at this.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 hours ago

Surely you can't be serious

[–] deacon@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Looks exactly like whatever random anonymous “hoteling” office I might occupy on a given day. Corporate America sucks.

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol 2 points 7 hours ago

I bet it reeks of undiagnosed ADHD in there.

[–] Damarus@feddit.org 2 points 7 hours ago

I would be awake for two weeks straight from that

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 hours ago
[–] iii@mander.xyz 1 points 7 hours ago

I switched to Chicory because I do the same :) Just a regular ceramic cup that I reuse though.

[–] Gork@sopuli.xyz 1 points 7 hours ago

Just looking at that image makes me want to go pee on his behalf
