Caffeine isn't an invention of modern industrial society, we've been boiling every caffeinated plant we could find for thousands of years. I would still drink it if I didn't have to work for a corporate employer. In fact I enjoy it much more on my days off when I get to make art. I don't mean to get too defensive of it, but I find it quite strange when people lump caffeinated drinks in with completely artificial aspects of life.
- nunez 2y agoCaffeine (and coffee) are not inventions of modernity, but hyper-caffeinated drinks, like energy drinks and sodas, most definitely are. Also, coffee consumption has increased over time, like this article shows: https://perfectdailygrind.com/2024/04/us-consumption-hits-20-year-high-specialty-coffee-trends/ https://perfectdailygrind.com/2024/04/us-consumption-hits-20...
