It’s a drug, it effects your behaviour/mood, you must have done some weird shit on it
I hate to be that guy, but, “source?” The espresso number “feels” a bit off, and some Internet searching agrees better with intuition:
According to USDA, 1oz of espresso is 63mg and 1C coffee is 92mg.
Just googling around, and both DDG and Google summary report 64mg/shot (with the obvious disclaimer about trusting AI summaries).
Almost as much caffeine in hot chocolate as in expresso? This chart doesn’t look plausible.
expresso
Ahhhhh!!! Stop it. Please.
Also, it feels odd to compare them all by concentration. Red Bulls come in a specific size.

I once met an old journalist that ran a bed and breakfast in southern Ontario. Great guy who worked for the Toronto Star for several years in the 60s and 70s.
He said that work was a lot more hectic back then because everything was manual and you had constant deadlines with no conveniences. He said that his day started at about 5 or 6 and depending on how busy the day was, he’d be in bed by 2 or 3 or not at all to make a deadline.
He said he drank coffee but at one point drinking so much liquid was forcing them to go to the bathroom so much that he and a few others opted to start just eating the coffee beans instead. They got the caffeine kick without wanting to pee.
He suffered a massive heart attack in his 50s, slowed down after, quit eating coffee beans and retired in his 60s.
I assume they were all smoking nonstop as well, I’m surprised he even made it to 60
I remember him saying that after he saw a couple of his colleagues who were the same age, doing the same thing die either doing their work or shortly after … he realized his time was up and he just retired before it killed him. Yes he said he did smoke like everyone, just not as heavily as most and he quit earlier than most.
He said he saw the writing on the wall and knew that if he continued, he would have died at his desk … so he and his wife just packed it all in, sold everything they had in the city, moved to the country and opened a bed and breakfast instead.
His place was amazing tho … they had a small library that was filled with all his old magazine, newspaper work, books, prints, documents, papers, everything … and when you sat with him, he could sit for days telling you stories. This was all about 20 years ago and the old guy (he was in his 70s at the time) is probably gone now but what a character.
Yeah he definitely definitely sounds like a character, fucking off from your 9-5 to open a bed and breakfast is king shit
TIL: Cocoa contains a significant amount of caffeine…
Could be Theobromine?
Nope, contains both, checked Wikipedia:
The beans contain theobromine, and between 0.1% and 0.7% caffeine, whereas dry coffee beans are about 1.2% caffeine.

I thought green tea has more coffee than black?
If I have too much coffee, I get irritating eye twitches and feel unpleasant.
Took caffeine pills, stayed up 4 days, saw strange colours, broke down and slept
Luckily made it home, the snow was looking really cosyLongest I’ve stayed up is a 3 and bit days. I didn’t hallucinate, because I wasn’t drinking caffeine (you can stay surprisingly alert and mellow on just fruit), but I definitely had massive lapses in judgement when crossing the road
Brewed coffee as opposed to dry beans? Assuming you mean black it is espresso with water. Green tea is about 30-40mg what is this :D
My freshman year of college i drank one of the largest cans of red bull and a big coffee right before heading to a math class. I was tweaking scribbling absurd doodles in my notebook.
Did it help you math better, or were the doodles largely untethered to reality
The only thing I remember drawing was a stick figure ripping itself in half. For sure I was not at all paying attention to the professor.
tesselation of human parts
Back in the day, when I would hang out all day every day at a coffeehouse, I drank like three pots of coffee in two hours. I ended up standing up on a chair and flailing around, then completely crashing out and feeling like I was going to die.
Yep, sounds about right. One of the reasons I can’t work on a laptop in a coffee shop (other than the maddening music on a loop you can’t faze out) for long is just the creep of the caffeinated treadmill
