Don't do Caffeine and Complex Analysis, kids
(mander.xyz)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Isn’t the reason that plants invented caffeine in the first place was precisely to ward off pests, particularly arthropods? And it’s just cool as shit that it does other effects to mammals other than killing us?
Don’t you dare try to take away my coffee.
Yeah, arthropods have some of the same neurotransmitters and similar receptor proteins but it's very different in their nervous system.
same for chillies
I like it when my mouth hurts while I chew 🤷♂️
Eating chillies is sadomasochism.
Fun tingles? They're great and are required for some meals.
