Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 1 day agoI write my best when I’m depressed. I’m okay with finding alternative routes for that, though weed isn’t one of them. I find weed helps me when I’m doing visual art, but when writing? Weed practically renders me incapable.
I now understand why writers’ usual substances of choice are alcohol and caffeine.

There is a short time when you are drunk enough to be direct and witouth inhibition and boosted enough I guess. Have to live on the edge.

Relevant xkcd.
The graph shows programming skill goes down with blood alcohol concentration except for a very short place where it shots up before going back down again. It’s called “ballmers peak” and it was discovered by microsoft in 80s as programming skills reached inhuman pevels with BAC between 0.129 and 0.130 Of course you cannot just give a team coders some year-supply of whiskey it’s a “delicate effect” as the researcher puts it. One curious member among the crowd asks “has that every happened.” Researcher “remember windows me?” The audience member gets up from their seat to shout “I knew it.” The end.
