Is caffeine addiction even a thing?

 

[From The Uncanny Valley]

Is caffeine addiction even a thing?

from what I've heard, yes.

Is caffeine addiction even a thing?

If it has a withdrawal, it counts as an addiction as a general rule of thumb when it comes to substances. Caffeine has some withdrawal symptoms, including low energy and headaches (Go figure).

Well, as far as I know psychological addiction is not the same as physical dependence.
Most drugs that are addictive also make you dependent, but not necessarely (example: cocaine and amphetamines).
What you are describing to me sounds more like dependence than addiction.

That all depends on definition of addiction as well.
The body becomes dependent on it as its a stimulant, and ceasing the intake causes the withdrawal.
But your definition isn't wrong either. I just work with a clientele which is really prone to substance abuse, so I have a low threshold for what counts.

From the YMMV page of the 1974 movie Black Christmas, tropers compare being gruesomely murdered by a knife-wielding psychopath to being trolled on the Internet. Millennials are faggots.

I think they're a little obsessed with Trump. Just a little.

Tropers are faggots. But obvious post about basement dwelling mlp collecting troons is obvious.

Of course, the old “orange man bad” joke. When will they learn?

Not unless it's a cartoon pony dancing about and telling them morals.

There are actually lots of these in movies. I was going to cut it some slack until I looked at the history. Sure enough it was just created.

I'm highly convinced it's either some autist in their basement (like most tropers), or someone from China trying to push their favorite show onto others.

Or maybe both, fuck if I know.

You think stuff like this show and other "obsessed over a preschool cartoon" entries have that many? Well, that's small potatoes compared to how many times this obscure cartoon called Kaeloo appears on TVTropes. In fact, I had never heard of Kaeloo before then.

They have a page on Shimajiro tiger! XD but I’m sure because of the meme.

They've also made pages on other little kids' anime of the same nature, like Anpanman and Doraemon (the latter of which was actually made before the show got an English dub.)

I found this on the Disney Plus WMG page

View attachment 1090720

Did they really announce reboots of Doug and Bill Nye for Disney+, or were they mistaking older episodes being added to the service for new ones, which is the more likely case? If it was the latter, talk about being delusional.

I mean to be fair their categorizing a trope where people make businessmen parodies who resemble Trump that it is an overdone cliche, so I can see why they made that page.

I know about those two anime you mentioned because of either people I knew growing up, or from browsing the internet for too long.

as for the Disney+ post, I think they were referring Brand Spanking New Doug, which aired back in the 90’s.

Tropers like Sucker Punch apparently because its feminist or something about Hollywood and Weinstein i assume.I always thought Sucker Punch was Snyder using the 'its feminist action' as an excuse to film girls 20 years younger than him and not get the 'creepy old man' accusation.

There's a lot of people out there who'll argue it's feminist. I don't see it, but to each his own.

I found out the identity of the Simple Samosa guy we mentioned earlier on another trope page:

Spoiler: From Surprisingly Similar Stories, for those wondering.

And this here is his profile:

Hi there!
I'm just another young American troper.
When I started out on this wiki, I was mainly interested in internet series. My earliest contributions showed a leaning towards internet memes like Sans Gaming or works that had undergone Memetic Mutation like Kahoot!.
But early 2018, I became interested in anime and Indian animation after getting into Ninja Hattori (again due to Memetic Mutation). Around October I got into Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf. I became a fan of Chinese animation and other Asian Animation. I still enjoy Western Animation just as much, though.
I tend to edit or create pages for obscure foreign cartoons, ones that very few Americans have heard of. I want to make pages for a lot more of those shows (particularly the ones by Fujiko Fujio, Creative Power Entertaining, and the Indian equivalents of the big three. I might enjoy those shows even if they aren't well-liked in their home countries, like Simple Samosa (yeah, that show's a trainwreck, but I like it anyway).
I also create pages for notable Long-Runners, a few notable Musicians, games, etc. that somehow don't have pages, like Oyako Club, Luis Fonsi, PGA Tour and Maths Mansion. I want to try giving some Artists pages, but I haven't done that yet.
I still create pages on Web Original media like BroFilms. I know that I'll never give every Web Original work a page because there are just so many works on the wide internet. But I'll do my best to create some.
Other pages are just random and out-of-the-blue decisions of mine like the Health Hotline page. Don't ask me why I made that.
On the Lumper vs. Splitter debate, I used to be a splitter who wanted to give everything its own page. But since then, my attitude has changed, and now I'm usually a lumper who thinks everything's neater on one page. Depending on the work and its trope count, you might be able to convince me that a split is justified.
I have a tendency to make pages really quickly if I don't actually know a work all that well, like Happy Family or Mole's World. I also almost never crosswick my examples, but hey, 2.0 will do that for me one day.
I frequent Ask The Tropers and some of the forum projects. I just like seeing what's going on elsewhere on the wiki. I think I spend more time reading those sections (along with checking/reading my watchlist) than I spend actually reading the wiki.
Finally, I inexplicably became friends with Spark Plug The Troper because we were both fans of the obscure Indian cartoon Simple Samosa and we talked about it in the Lost Media Wiki Discord server together. We both knew of each other before we met, though. We have quite a few interests in common and we often work together on this wiki (for instance, we both want to Trope Overdose Doraemon, Happy Heroes, and Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf).

So aside from liking little kids' stuff and anime, he also likes a toy series aimed at young girls, anime, a soccermom group (Common Sense Media), educational videos and television commercials. And he even admitted that some of his decisions were random...
