That is what I meant. It's dangerous to my productivity.
paulbaumgart does point out something funny. I added 'dangerous' in an edit a few minutes after posting. It does make the post more precise; I am talking about caffeine being a danger to productivity as a consequence of dependence not merely the truism that "Caffeine is a drug." However, it didn't get views (as evidenced by up-votes) until I added dangerous.
In being more precise I was accidentally link-baiting.
- paulbaumgart 17y agoI usually understand "dangerous drugs" to be ones that have the potential to cause permanent organ damage. So my first thought was, "Oh shit, I drink a lot of coffee. Now you're telling me it's dangerous?" Then I actually read the article and got a little peeved that I'd been link-baited (inadvertantly or otherwise)- hence my comment complaining about it. :-)
- Semiapies 17y agoWell, yes. When you state a medical fact they teach you in elementary school, it's not going to get much attention. When you make a deceptive and link-baiting title, it'll get some more.
