That morning cup of joe that turns you into a functioning human? It's actually a plant's deadly chemical warfare against bugs! Caffeine evolved as an insecticide to paralyze and kill pests that dare munch on coffee plants. Yet here we are, DELIBERATELY consuming it by the gallon and calling it "breakfast." Evolution's greatest practical joke is watching humans pay $5 for a substance that makes bugs keel over dead while we just get slightly twitchy and productive. Who's the real pest here? *nervous caffeinated laughter*
