  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

I metabolize caffeine so quickly I don't get a buzz and I don't get addicted (lemmy.world)

I can drink a 6-cup pot of espresso and immediately have a nap

I can drink pot after pot of espresso every day (i love the taste and comforting warmth) yet if I travel or "miss" my morning coffee it changes nothing about how I feel or my energy level. No cravings ever.

I kind of would like to get the zap of a good caffeine buzz. It sounds like some kind of amazing out-of-body nervous energy

When I was a kid my friends used to love this stuff called "Jolt Cola" that was marketed as having "All the sugar, and twice the caffeine" of regular soda (lol)... I drank can after can of it and never clued into why I thought it was just regular soda, and my friends were going cuckoo berserk on it

It's a weird superpower. I'm also immune to codeine and similar, which I've come to understand are similar molecules... so it seems to explain something to me. I didn't figure any of this out until my mid 30's. Post-dental surgery, emergency visits and similar was always a huge battle because they'd think I was lying when I said the painkillers weren't working, assuming I was drug-seeking

Just talking

My doctors were never shocked, I suppose they‘ve seen many different situations. I did learn to tell them beforehand that these things happen to me, so they might take it in consideration. Bodies are so different, it is normal to react different to substances and foods. But with age we hopefully are more in tune with our bodies and start to learn how it works.
