Why is it always "lol do you think I'm reading all that" or an equivalent reply where you're trying to mock a user on a forum for.... using the forum.

And it's never to do with the length (writing that took less time than smoking a cigarette, which I used to do years ago), but the content. You're a bit ashamed that your take is so objectively biased due to your addiction.

"Coffee! Aaah, black as night and sweet as hell mmmm. Great, healthy, amazing!"

"A carbonated sugar-free drink with less caffeine? Poison!"

I don’t need to reply to a WoT that completely ignored the substance and intent of my reply. You’re wasting our time. I don’t see any reason to reply when you’re making up everything you think I would say, with a massive sprinkling of hyperbole, just fine on your own. You don’t need me to join the conversation you’re having in your head.

I don't need to reply

Ah yes, after the "you're wasting your time on Lemmy" it's the "I'm not gonna reply", he replied.

when you’re making up everything you think I would say

You literally said "coffee has never been proven harmful". That's like saying "cigarette smoking has never been associated with cancer" or "there's no evidence we ever went to the moon". About on the same level, factually and intellectually.

Secondly, you said that energydrinks are "definitely harmful" and thought they are overcaffeinated, when average coffee contains more caffeine than they do.

You don’t need me to join the conversation you’re having in your head.

Projecting a bit there, since you're the one who's literally making shit up, because you think it feels correct because of your ignorance. I never said something as silly as "coffee has never been proven harmful", now did I?

I'm the one who's linking actual science.
