    Still successful, though. Humans have spread the seeds of capsicum farther than any bird ever did.

    We’re just fuckin weirdos about it

      Birds can’t taste it like we do. You can get bird feed covered in red pepper to keep other animals from eating it. I’m not sure a bird would eat a pepper, anyway, but 🤷🏼‍♀️

          I tend to eat very spicy and in large quantities. After some time my body must have learnt to digest the capsicum because it now never bothers my butt. Unfortunately now when I overdo it , I piss out the spice. It’s not nearly as bad as the fire shits, as long as I wash up with soap and water after every pee for about six hours after eating really spicy.

          PS: There’s an Indian grandma that cooks at a close by restaurant that took it as a challenge when I said I wanted it “five stars” (max heat). It’s what I ask for everywhere else, but this lady took it to heart. I pissed Mace for two days straight but it was delicious.

      Humans spreading peppers like weirdos reminds me of a petition replacing the word “expert” with “pervert.”

      “Pepper pervert” conveys the masochistic spread of hot peppers better than “Pepper expert.”

        It kinda reminds me of the scene in Star Trek the Next Generation when Data, the humanoid Android, tries alcohol to better understand humanity. He takes one sip, winces and remarks “That’s awful! … another!”

          Star Trek Generations. That’s got to be the best part of that not-so-great movie.

              Who would have thought, after all the bonkers stuff he survived, a walkway would be his end?
