this like the difference between adding 2 and subtracting negative 2 to me
Nah it’s like
It doesn’t add any energy, it just temporarily stops your brain from being able to process how tired you are. Which is why you crash later! Because your brain’s receptors wake up and are like “BITCH why didn’t my alarm go off look at all this goddamn paperwork??”
It’s such a weird thing. What we call “tired” is the brain creating a small dose of “tired chemical” every hour or so. Once there’s enough tired chemical, the brain goes into sleep mode to clean itself out (we… think) and it gets rid of all the tired chemical.
This is why you can oversleep and feel tired: the brain has started to make the tired chemical again while you were sleeping. But it’s also why caffeine is so bonkers. Caffeine works by blocking the tired receptor in your brain, so you keep making tired chemical but you don’t know you’re making it.
If you don’t have enough tired chemical, you can introduce diphenhydramine. Diphenhydramine - sold in the U.S. as Benadryl - acts by blocking histamine receptors in the same part of the brain as where the wake-sleep cycle is regulated, so this can make the brain think it’s got a bunch of tired chemical on those receptors. And once the sleep cycle is activated, the body dramatically reduces its histamine response, so the whole meme about “Benadryl: You Can’t Sneeze When You’re Dead” is actually pretty accurate as to how diphenhydramine works.
It also means that if you, say, take twice the recommended dose of diphenhydramine and wash it down with a 16 ounce Red Bull because you’ve got to help your parents who have a dog and a cat move out of their dusty house (and you’re allergic to dogs, cats, and dust), you’re going to be very productive for a couple hours and then you are going to pass out for fourteen hours and have some incredible dreams.

nice golf course u got there… itd be shame if something were to happen to it…
If you were theoretically seedbombing your own private land that just so happened to be managed like a golf course, there are some things you would do well to keep in mind. Most plants require a minimum period of time to get established, which they’re unlikely to get–golf courses tend to mow so frequently and make such common use of broad-leaf herbicides that many plants would struggle to survive there. It’s a deeply hostile environment for new life.
However, if you’re on the east coast and happen to have witch grass on your beaches or in your garden, or know a patch of goosegrass, those are both common weeds of golf courses that show significant herbicide resistances and are nearly impossible to eradicate. The former spreads rhizomatically, so those thick white root-like structures could be stuck in the ground, while seeds from the latter would work well for more traditional seedbombing techniques.
Do keep in mind the same qualities that make them so good at invading golf courses also make them capable of overwhelming native grasslands and meadows–look to see if they present any danger to local ecosystems before spreading them.
