Well it would have to be real and not a “lawyer meme” as well

[-] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 129 points 1 month ago

From the moment I understood the weakness of my biology, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of the boot. I aspired to the purity of Corporate Governance. Your kind cling to your caffeine, as though it will not crash and fail you. One day the crude occupation you call a “job” will be laid off, and you will beg the Government to save you. But I am already saved, for profits are immortal… Even in death I serve the Shareholders.

I hate how much sense this makes. Well, I guess the original is meant to be satire in real life so whatever

Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass that you call a temple will wither, and you'll beg my kind to save you.But I am already saved. For the machine is immortal. Even in death I serve the Omnissiah."

What's crazy is that last line sounds like mere romantic sentiment until you read up on 40k lore.

Fuck caffeine, it's MATH TIME

If this was remotely true the

Looked ashamed of his natural biology

Would 100% be the psycho misreading this:

[-] kerrigan778 117 points 1 month ago

You can tell this is fake because caffeine withdrawal does NOT just cause "lethargy" people would be going home with headaches and worse.

[-] hansolo@lemmy.today 54 points 1 month ago

100% this. By the afternoon the first day it would be anarchy in that office. Headaches, crabby aggression, screaming, crying.

Plus, what entire office actually drinks all the same coffee from the same source?

If it's coffee provided by the company for free, yes they are.

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago

we have a free espresso machine and two free large cafetieres and a coffee shop where you pay on the ground floor. A lot of my colleagues still go to Starbucks across the street.

[-] Chev@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

We have free coffee in our office. It's terrible. Only half the people drink it. Others buy their own.

Yah that what I find the most hard to believe, especially given the writer is sipping a monster energy drink.

if it was true it's abuse~

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago

Just like corporate governance.

[-] candyman337@piefed.ca 42 points 1 month ago

I mean, this is the reverse of unknowingly drugging someone, not sure if this is illegal or not, but it feels illegal lol

[-] MyVeryRealName@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

Pretty sure it's illegal

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 34 points 1 month ago

I remember this "prank" scribed on some BBS or web page from the early 2000's, possibly even the 90's.

Everything old is new again!

read so many variants as well.

still a shitty thing to do to people

[-] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 month ago

Making things up and sharing them on the internet?

Caffeine withdraw is no joke, that’s how you get a really bad migraine or worse.

[-] DasFaultier@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago

Yup, can very much confirm.

This is awful, but God so hilarious ( besides the weird psychopathy ) but as a senior prank or something it would go hard

[-] tostos@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

a coffee lover knows difference

[-] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 12 points 1 month ago

I never met them in the office. The coffee drinkers in my office are just drowning their coffee in milk and sugar.

[-] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

IMO, a lot of cheap office coffee isn't palatable (or nuanced enough to bother taking straight) unless you doctor it up like that.

Had he pulled it through for two weeks, the withdrawal symptoms would've worn off.

[-] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 month ago

Inducing withdrawal is the whole point!

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

Withdrawal only lasts a few days at most.

[-] DasFaultier@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

I can tell you from painful experience that two weeks is quite realistic.

Fake, but I would love to see it happening IRL.

Noob mistake!

A professional biological terrorist knows that you need to mix decaf beans and light roast beans (high in caffeine) into the bean reservoir at 50/50, resulting in randomly varying amounts of caffeine per brewing cycle/cup of coffee.

Never let their caffeine tolerance know the next move!

[-] Th4tGuyII@fedia.io 14 points 1 month ago

The weird control kink aside, this does sound like a pretty funny office prank provided there's no really important work going on

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

It's weird to me simply because I bring my own brew. Office coffee just isn't as good as my moka pot and if you've got a zojirushi or similar high quality thermos, you can have hot coffee for a majority of the day.

[-] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago

you bring 2L of coffee to work with you?

I'll bring 500mL sure, but not a whole day's worth

[-] Bristlecone@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Highly recommend not drinking that much coffee every day. For your heart

An example of the most moral corporate executive. Involuntary biology experiments on unsuspecting subordinates seems like an upgrade from what they're doing normally through the psychological torment.

[-] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 11 points 1 month ago

People would notice within 6 hours. Source: had this happen to me, got a raging headache despite coffee, left office to go get some

Are we sure that this wasn’t written by Dwight K Schrute?
