@Kristine Anxiety. I've had to cut down the coffee in recent years.

@miguelpergamon that's s valid point of view. That I disagree with in this case as part of the poll is also to have to take a stance. The options today are also not at all mutually exclusive. The only compromise offered is to not vote and make your Other comment/argument here. Thanks! @evan has an amazing FAQ related to polls that is his FAQ or position on polls but that I largely agree with and can be used as guidance in most polls I think https://evanp.me/pollfaq/

@Kristine
I never drank coffee until a few years ago when I discovered it helped metabolise pain killers and thus joined ranks in the battle against migraines.

My normal fuel is carbs. Toast, pasta, sandwiches, poptarts, croissants, bring it on. I suppose that becomes glucose which in turn triggers dopamine so that's how I voted.

On the spite front, I knew a guy who kept a "told you so" folder from when he warned management not to take a given course of action, so he could remind them later.

@Kristine all of the above

@Kristine
Guilt and shame. Self-reinforcing, while the system supports it; however, that is less and less the case.

[kristine@theforkiverse.com]

@miguelpergamon @evan hah! Thanks! Indeed. So then we took the opportunity to educate the others. Appreciated

@Kristine I can not, neh will not, choose only one!
I've had big days when all were at play.

@Kristine
caffeine and nurofen

(this is probably a wrong answer)

[pterry@fnordon.de]

@Kristine Spite > Caffeine > Dopamine > Anxiety (in that order, but it's all of the above)

[distinctdipole@tech.lgbt]

@Kristine Caffeine. Add anxiety for random bonus effects!

[archivescribe@mastodon.social]

@Kristine Coffee. Coffee. And Coffee. Did I mention coffee? Because it’s coffee.

[dpflug@hachyderm.io]

@Kristine
It would be dopamine, but I'm congenitally resistant and don't get enough in any case. Anxiety is my fallback, and caffeine is just an anxiety delivery mechanism.

[confusedmiddleageddad@mastodon.social]

@Kristine two of these mainly plus I suspect some spite when I absolutely need to prove someone wrong (with science of course)

[ranx@mastodon.social]

@Kristine none of them. It's carbs and sugars. I mean it's sugars and more sugars. Unhealthy but hey... we can't live like a sick person just to die healthy

[steely_glint@chaos.social]

@Kristine Caffeine, but with a side order of commitment.

i.e. If I've (foolishly) said I will do a thing, I try hard to do it.

(I game myself by committing to give talks about things I haven't got around to doing yet, then as the deadline looms I'm committed to actually understanding the thing well enough to at least talk about it - which for me generally involves doing it!)

[steely_glint@chaos.social]

@Kristine (which is a sub-species of guilt perhaps?)

[brunomiguel@masto.pt]

@Kristine I can't choose spite and anxiety

[ilpi@mastodon.social]

@Kristine I'll take the fifth option, being always tired and having no energy
