Science concludes cocaine does make me more social.

My favourite part of my day is sipping my morning cup, sitting in the back yard and listening to the birds.

I love doing this. I sit in the back yard with my morning coffee and talk to my chickens. I look forward to it every morning.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

What do the chickens have to say?

There used to be birds around and i would get nests built under my awning. I used to like hearing them but now, instead, my neighborhood is filled with stray cats and so as you can imagine: no more birds.

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

We were similar, until the coyotes came back. Now we have lots of birds and lots of missing cat posters.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 3 points 2 weeks ago

That's sad. Pet cats really need to be kept indoors where they can't affect the local wildlife and are also safe from their own predators.

~~I just wanted to see the methodology for how the study was done, and I am now wondering how the media came to the conclusion that drinking coffee makes you happier based on the study's conclusion, when it is about cardiovascular mortality rates. The study itself makes no mention of happiness or mood.~~

I clicked into the wrong study. That's why 🤦‍♂️

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

No! Science! $$$

[–] Visstix@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

Oh well that explains a lot. I never had coffee

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

It really does. You know what doesn’t make me happy Tariffs

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, but coffee though!

[–] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

What doesn't make you happy tariffs?

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Correct. Especially tariffs on coffee

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Not me cause I chug the whole thing piping hot. Really burns up my mouth but what can you do?

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Why do you insist on solving problems instead of just listening?

[–] not_woody_shaw@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Wait for it to cool down so you can taste it when you chug the whole thing luke warm.

How many of the participants had IBD or IBS?

[–] RaoulDuke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

I have IBD. It’s the price I pay for coffee.

Don't worry about that. Look over there!

[–] Geodad@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It also keeps me out of jail.

I'm far less likely to slap the shit out of someone once I'm caffeinated.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think we need to study why coffee drinkers are so violent.

[–] Geodad@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I'm not aware of any correlation between caffeine consumption and violence.

Alcohol is a different story.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You do you, but FUCK that website

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I’d rather not fuck an entire website, but if I have to…
