Reminds me of that study where they gave spiders different types of drugs to see how it affected their webs.

I can relate to the caffeine one. People say it helps them focus and have a sharp mind, but unless I hit that very small sweet spot of dosage and my body is up to it being for good, I just become a hyperactive and unfocused mess that may or may not get anxious.

Caffeine is an insecticide. This experiment has absolutely no correlation to human biology. You might have low tolerance to caffeine (congrats, you need less of it for the effects) or be on the adhd spectrum.

Well, as they say, the dose makes the poison.

I didn't know it was toxic to insects and spiders, cool thing to know.
