Same! But not just the coffee. It's the entire breakfast I'm already excited about! I'll feast!

Imagine having so much serotonin, it must be like feeling high all the time

I choose to interpret this as referring to a coffee date, not the coffee itself

[-] Saapas@piefed.zip 8 points 14 hours ago

Addiction is when you are eagerly waiting to do something you enjoy. I myself am addicted to good food

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 15 points 16 hours ago

I just had morning coffee.
Now I'm already excited for bed.

Yeah, had to think of this right away:

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 16 hours ago

By definition, it's only an addiction if it affects the lives of yourself and/or others negatively. Which CAN be the case with caffeine, but this comic doesn't show that.

Other examples of neutral to beneficial dependencies include oxygen, exercise, medication, and the winning smile of Hugh Jackman.

[-] FishFace@piefed.social 6 points 12 hours ago

In casual conversation (such as on an internet forum) "addiction" can also mean "physiological dependence to something not ordinarily necessary".

Caffeine creates very strong physiological dependence.

In addition, due to its ubiquity, the actual harms of caffeine go unrecognised: people who are caffeine dependent are more tired and irritable when they haven't had any than if they were not dependent, and also tends to cause headaches and stomach problems.

[-] Saapas@piefed.zip 4 points 14 hours ago

I'm clearly addicted to tasty food since I am sometimes eagerly waiting to get to eat it lol

[-] mech@feddit.org 14 points 21 hours ago

Probably the most harmless addiction there is though.

[-] Kenny2999@lemmy.world 7 points 19 hours ago

The rising price of feline excrament beans will eventually bankrupt you though.

[-] TrousersMcPants@lemmy.world 21 points 19 hours ago

Do you think all coffee is shit out by cats?

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

That idiot must be fancy as FUCK to think all coffee is kopi luwak! 😄

[-] Kenny2999@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

Sorry, honestly thought the /s was implied. Anyways, what I pay for coffee has doubled recently, even for the cheapest figurative shit.

[-] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 hours ago

I have a cat that will shit out beans for you

[-] Kenny2999@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

Thats animal cruelty. Peta has been notified. They wanna watch.

[-] village604@adultswim.fan 2 points 9 hours ago

Then murder the cat afterwards.

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 3 points 15 hours ago

Ignore the downvotes, it was a solid joke.

[-] mech@feddit.org 6 points 17 hours ago

I'm on Great Value espresso roast.

[-] 46_and_2@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

...proceeds not to sleep all night in anticipation.

[-] thisbenzingring@lemmy.today 24 points 21 hours ago

I hate to admit it.... but I have had this experience before

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 16 hours ago

Nothing inherently wrong with looking forward to pleasurable things, including your morning coffee 🤷

[-] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 12 points 21 hours ago

Me too. Don't hate it.

Esp. when after an eternity of sleeplessness you look at the clock and it's still hours til daylight.

[-] BCOVertigo@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago

I had this experience last night about a new chicory cold brew!

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 7 points 17 hours ago

Me when I was younger. Not that I'm not happy to have my morning cup, but it hits a little different when I can't also relax since I'm watching two little kids in the morning.

I miss waking up at noon and just taking the world in while drinking good coffee.

[-] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 hours ago

Hahah this is how I convince myself that sleep is fun

[-] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 14 points 21 hours ago

I just picked up a Nespresso machine (late tonight) and this is the first thing I see on my Lemmy feed. I am absolutely ecstatic for tomorrow morning!

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 15 hours ago

I get what you're saying and the appeal of the category of appliances, but did you have to get the Nestlé one?

They're one of the most heinous consumer-facing companies in the world and you should really be boycotting them..

[-] Darnton@piefed.zip 8 points 13 hours ago

And all of those capsule coffeemakers are extremely wasteful, not to mention expensive.

[-] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

The pods are all aluminum and recyclable, which we do here.

[-] Darnton@piefed.zip 2 points 2 hours ago

Doesn't change the fact that it is incredibly wasteful compared to making coffee without pods at all.

[-] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Didn’t know Nestle owned them. But thanks for ruining my morning. 😉

Also, this is the only one I’d like. Keurig tastes terrible. I’m normally an Aeropress Café Americano person.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 12 hours ago

But thanks for ruining my morning

It's my duty and my pleasure, Ma'am/Sir/other! 🫡
