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:

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).

There's also a handy calculator that works for various drinks
