What toxin causes disease in a way that capsaicin doesnt at a high enough dose? The only difference between capsaicin and any other toxin is the pathway of activity and dosage. Enough cap will definitely kill you, and it has a well documented list of capsaicin poisoning symptoms.
It is literally a toxin, which is part of why it binds to your pain receptors and not your taste buds.
Which is also why it reacts with your entire digestive system, not just your mouth. Because it is a mammal targeting poison that evolved to deter unwanted predation. Its supposed to make you sick, so you dont eat the pepper and grind its seeds with your teeth.
Its just a toxin that is only deadly in insanely massive doses, that humans are lucky enough to be able to build tolerance for.
Capsaicin is not the first toxin humans ingest for fun. It will not be the last. But while lots of toxins are fun to eat, you shouldnt forget that it is very much a toxin, which is why some people cannot stomach them. Not everyone can stomach eating poisons easily, and you can have too much of them if youre not careful.
E: to clarify, “you dont taste with your butthole” means while capsaicin is a fun flavor boosting chemical when paired with food, you do not get the additional flavor when that chemical passes through your south mouth and shares its little gift regardless.
You got the bird gene, lucky bastard
Right, but specifically that joke cannot be made successfully in regions where pepper based spice is common cuisine. Because those people dont have that reaction.
And a large portion of the US makes that spice a common part of normal meals, thanks to proximity to mexico, or international ports.
Basically, this is only funny to people in very isolated communities and the central northern states. Both coasts and the south have plenty of spicy influence.
Its not that they arent used to flavored food. You have a built up tolerance to a mildly toxic chemical such that it doesnt cause you intestinal inflammation anymore.
I love heat as much as the next guy, but lets be clear. You dont taste with your butthole, and its a toxin that doesnt discriminate between tongue and tookus.
The spice jokes happen in any nation that culturally lacks a pepper based heat as a common seasoning, towards any food with said spice. Southern states, who share food inspiration with mexico, do not have these jokes. They eat the hottest nonsense sauces, theyre used to the effect.
They want to stop growing at the “dead population” stage, eh? Odd choice, but aight
Lol I am not your mother, sorry
It also tracks that you didnt even understand the meme you posted
Yeah, it tracks that was too complex for you
Sleeping sure is a crime worthy of the death by cop treatment, huh?
Not to the tree, who get infections and diseases from this.
Sure, technically. But good luck getting anyone to use your version over the mass adopted one. And good luck fitting back in if they decide to take their fork in a direction you dont like, which isolates your instance further and further.
Other than writing the software that all of those instances use to stay up to date and in contact with each other, regardless of their federation status.
They are talking about the people developing lemmy, not some petty fight with the admins of one specific instance.
Even if we pretend youtube isnt actually just a data farm that alphabet sells under a different company name to avoid directly saying youtube sells your data (hint: this is where the majority of youtube money comes from), it doesnt really matter if enough consumers decide the ads arent worth the content.
Youtube isnt required living, its a very nice convenience. If it stops being convenient, people will do literally anything else. Its already only convenient enough for a lot via ad blockers. The worse it gets, the more leave ads behind. Making it worse worse doesnt bring people back.
… What?
Youtube has to detect every type of adblocker.
Ublock origin only needs to find 1 way around their detection.
And even if ublock ever gets stumped, a thousand people are trying to find their own version of 1 way around detection.
Youtube is playing whack a mole against a thousand moles, and just one unbopped mole destroys their hammer and they need to go craft a new one from scratch.
The moles win every time.
Dead fish? Do yiu think most people are eating them alive?
You dont need to sell stories to share them.
