Same. I also have a different experience with tea (tend to get a more even distribution of “energy” throughout the day whereas coffee gives me a jolt). I understand that it has something to do with how we metabolize the caffeine molecule in different contexts (which includes how it is carried into our bodies).

I read a thing several years back that argued for a distinction between caffeine and theine—the name for the molecule as it appears in tea. This is because, iirc, caffeine is found in the oils of the coffee bean and theine is found in the tannins of the tea leaf. The human body metabolizes oils and tannins differently, resulting in different absorption times (for lack of a better term). When it comes to energy drinks, the caffeine is either synthesized or isolated from a carrier (oil or tannins) and is thus metabolized differently from both coffee and tea.

My wife cannot drink coffee. But she can drink strong teas fine (including matcha, which has a higher concentration of theine/caffeine than coffee). She seems to be sensitive to the oil-based metabolic process (which is supposedly quicker than with tannins) and it gives her brain fog and an inability to concentrate (plus shakes).

The lack of Neon Genesis Evangelion on this list disappoints me.

The rich live better and I’m fine enjoying their leavings.

I want this as a sticker for all my repurposed old tech. This is an excellent quote.

The Ice Cubes app for Mastodon has a trending function, but it’s based solely on aggregating boosts and favorites (from what I can tell). The Impressia app for Pixelfed has this as well, but it offers the options to see trending posts or tags, etc. (I’ve found Impressia to be way better than the Pixelfed app on iOS, tbh).
