People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

Yeah, an energy boosting substance should be more apt for quick sprints.

The opposite I think, meth doesn't magically make you stronger or faster (it just feels like it does) but it keeps you going for longer.

but it keeps you going for longer.

Specifically, mentally going. The majority of olympic level athletes are not 'flagging' due to not being able to keep their mental focus while pushing through pain/fatigue, it's due to actual physiological reasons as your energy stores deplete and muscles suffer damage.
