you know F’real milkshakes you see in gas stations sometimes? they’re… they’re actually good…

The coffee ones have roughly 4x the caffeine than a Starbucks frap has.

I did not know that when I had two of them right before a presentation on front of the faculty of my department. I was vibrating like the flash when he screws up the timeline. I think I was presenting from another dimension but I got 100% on the project, so it worked out.

So… short version.
Enough of it will kill you, or give you semi-super powers? 

Depends on your individual caffeine tolerance and whether or not you have a history of heart problems in your family.  I use caffeine to fight migraines and control my ADHD (it works, but I can’t explain how) and have an exceptionally strong heart, so…
It gives me the ability to cast an illusion that makes people think I’m some kind of genius?  

But roughly 600mg of caffeine in 20 mintues* is probably not for everyone lol.

* It was hot out so I shotgunned two of them.  It was a mistake. 

I have an Excellent analogy for how this works! Okay, say you’re in Photoshop and you have a picture on the canvas. You can grab one of the corners and pull to make the picture bigger, or push to make it smaller, and grab the sides to make it wider or narrower. The long and wide for everyone are thought speed and processing speed. Neurotypical people have both in alignment, but people with ADHD have one or the other out of whack, making the picture distorted. Stimulants adjust one of those axis. For normal people, stimulants like caffeine boost thought speed, leading to the hyper, jittery state that you’re so used to with caffeine. You seem to react the same way, but that puts you in balance with your processing speed, making it easier to concentrate. For me, stimulants, including caffeine, boost my processingspeed instead, essentially allowing me to keep up with my own thoughts. That said those things are full of insane amounts of sugar, so the jitters might be from that rather than the caffeine.
