I’m violently allergic to sugar. (Ok, technically “allergic” isn’t the right word. Apparently allergies can only be to proteins specifically. So technically what I have is a sensitivity to sugar, not an allergy. But “sensitivity” sounds way less severe than “allergy”.)
There was a long period of time when my preferred vehicle for caffeine consumption was unsweetened baker’s chocolate. I’d just suck on it. And legitimately enjoy it.
The only reason I quit doing that was because I decided my life is better entirely without caffeine than with. I do very occasionally still microdose it. Like to the tune of 1/32 of an ounce of baker’s chocolate no more than once a week. I miss eating it by the half-ounce, though. I still crave it sometimes.
Chocolate is said to be an anti depressant, and I’ve felt that effect. No placebo thing in my case, never ate dark chocolate for the effect, always surprised when it hits.
“Well fuck me I feel great for once. Wonder what happened.” After many, many events, finally put two and two together. And I have once again forgotten. Guess I need to buy some and really experiment.
I’m a little shocked that the tiny amount of caffeine effects you at all. Reminds me of my sister drinking a glass of tea and getting wired up and having to pee a bunch. :)
Lol. Nope. I joined Mastodon before I joined Lemmy. And on Mastodon they call messages “toots” (or at least used to.) Aside from that, it’s just a play on “tout suite”. (And then I proceeded to never participate on Mastodon at all. Heh.)
Also why not black coffee or tea?
a) comparative pain in the ass to prepare, b) I like the taste better, c) why drink watered-down rich and tasty when you can eat solid rich and tasty, d) if the coffee’s made already, I’m not saying I’d turn it down, it just wasn’t my go-to source for caffeine.

Is that the reason for your username.
