This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

That's about 11 cups of coffee. Should be okay.
I calculated the LD50 times average adult weight divided by 100mg per cup before, and I think the result was over 100 cups.
I start feeling it after like 5 or so. 11 would give me a panic attack.
Oh yeah I don't think it would feel great, I'm just saying it's far enough from the LD50 that the answer to Anon's question "Do I survive?" would be yes. (Unless he's a child, or he has some preexisting condition making him more vulnerable to caffeine).
As a bored, teenage barista, my coworkers and I would sometimes kill time by doing espresso shot competitions.
I did 10 once. Never again. I feel like something permanently changed in my brain chemistry that day (not to mention my gut was fucked).
Yeah, caffeine seems to fuck with the gut more that I used to think.
I've been an off and on 0.5-1 liter energy drink per day guy, rarely 1.5-2 liters. I think ours are even weaker than the ones in the US, they're 32mg/100ml here.
Thats less than 3 large starbucks coffees. I guarantee you some people are hitting that on the reg.
There's also a handy calculator that works for various drinks
