Humans are largely human because we are terrible “one-trial learners.” We twist the tiger’s tail until it turns on us. We don’t learn. We come back to twist the tiger’s tail some more.
i’d more say it’s just that there’s always some other guy who goes “yeah well they twisted the tiger’s tail but… i haven’t twisted the tiger’s tail so maybe it’ll be different for me?”
then fucking somehow the tiger only smacks him on the head while making a funny face, he finds this fucking hilarious and does it again, gets his friends to do it, and now you have a group of dudes ooking like chimps while getting progressively more concussed while everyone else watches on with weary expressions knowing that this is just going to be a thing some people do from now on…
Speak for yourself. I never twisted any tiger’s tail but neither do I judge you for your kink
That’s not the only toxic thing humans eat, drink or smoke. Chocolate, coffee, alcohol and probably many more.
Sorry, spicy food / capsaicin is toxic?
everything is toxic, just depends on the dose
i’d certainly prefer to fill up on bread rather than dried peppers…
Mammals spread the seeds even more.
I was gonna say; not a lot of other creatures setup industrial farms… If you want to survive as a plant species, making humans like you isn’t a terrible strategy.
Just know that you’re never going to be good enough for the humans and they’re going to “fix” you.

Brassicas have entered the chat.
i like to imagine this was the plan all along, brassica oleracea saw humans and went
I saw a video saying that this was so that birds would eat instead of mammals. Something about spreading out further.
Yep!
Only mammals have the nerve receptors to feel the heat.
Herbivores grind the seeds up. Plants don’t want that.
Birds, who can’t sense the heat, happily eat the pods and poop the seeds everywhere.
Has anyone checked for correlation between having a taste for capsaicin and not chewing your food thoroughly?
i mean basically everyone these days doesn’t chew properly
Shut up I just eat fast.
And yet, it is a much more common plant now, whose offspring comes in many new forms. It has gained the care and protection by a mammal.
Joke’s on us. We’re being farmed by capsicum.
