It's funny to think that previous generations were medicating themselves too without admitting it. 1930s-70s amphetamines are all the rage until it's declared an epidemic from the incredible amount of usage.
Then hard pivot to cocaine use to replace the amphetamines, which ends up not being better (and maybe destroying some countries in the process)
And now here we are back to amphetamine usage and far surpassing the levels of the epidemic of the late 60s-70s.
So remember if your grandparents say they never had to medicate themselves back in the day just ask them how much powder they sniffed up their noses. Apparently everyone feels good with a bit of stimulation.
And I feel like some people lean on energy drinks to fill a similar function as well.
Oh absolutely. Humans love stimulants.
It's funny to the degree that our society runs on being amped up by one drug or another.
Also wild when it doesn't work on you and you feel left out of some drugged up rave that everyone else seems to be participating in but I really don't want it.
Grandma had coke in her soda.
Great grandma did. They changed the formula before my grandmothers were born, and I know I'm older than a fair portion of you, being 43
man your bones must be turning into dust. shouldn't you be chatting with your friends at the retirement home by now instead of being on lemmy, grandpa? smh geezers
This but unironically
You unironically think 43 year old shouldn't be on Lemmy?
No, they belong in camps when their red light starts flashing
Jesus, no hope for me at 52 then
It's very brave of you to risk typing with your bones made of dust
When you get to my age you live life on the edge.
They don't mean the Coke recipe, their grandma put cocaine in her Sprite
