Peppers should be reversed, hottest to the outside edge

Unless you eat pizza like this moron

[–] [email protected] 94 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Who is that guy? What dumb idiot, eating pizza like that. Luckily the American people would never elect such stupid dumb idiot like whoever that guy is.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'll bet he is stupid enough to look directly at the sun!

Obviously no one would vote for that guy. What would the other countries think?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He looks so dumb, I bet he can’t even spell “coffee.”

He's probably not from new york. I heard you can get lynched if you eat pizza like that in new york

Firstly, that guy looks like a fuckin idiot eating pizza like that. Second, the ninth circle is frozen over in Dante's bible fanfic, so idk maybe by that logic this is the right pepper order?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I suspect that's from when stuffed crust pizzas started becoming a thing.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Yeah, but they picked this moron because he already ate pizza that way.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Plus the ninth ring is in the middle, so it makes sense.

I think there's a missed chance to have mint and other "cooling" herbs on the outer rim

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Oh gods, the whiplash of something like that might be so much worse than anything else, I approve.

I feel like the pizza itself should be arranged the other way around, with the hottest on the outside and the mildest toward the center, so that the more you eat the more pain you experience. Nobody eats a pizza crust first.

However, that would ruin the Inferno reference.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

That's the definition of tragedy: a great pizza ruined by literalism.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

On the other hand if you arrange it the other way around you get more of the spicier stuff.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nobody eats a pizza crust first.

You would be surprised. I have met such people. In specific circumstances, such as stuffed crust, I will occasionally eat pizza crust first.

If going by the book, the very center should be mint.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

Truly an Italian hell. Mint on pizza.

What is this? A stuffed crust commercial? Who eats pizza from the outside in? The reaper will completely mar your capability to taste the other layers of hell’!

You start off with the fire so you can progressively cool off.

Last year I planted some pepper plants, jalapeno and (what I thought was) jabanero. The peppers on one of the jabanero plants had these tiny little bumps on them and they eventually turned red instead of the usual orange of the jabaneros. When I ate the red bumpy ones, it wasn't so much that they were hot as it felt like I'd just been punched hard in the lips. I thought that they were just some kind of weird mutation, but it turns out they were actually Carolina Reapers that had been mislabeled at the plant store. I like hot food, but that shit was too much for me.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Those are ROUGH. My pug ate some heritage seed peppers called Royal Black. He found them to his liking.

My dear friend has some pot plants.

Her dog discovered pot accidentally.

Then her dog discovered pot intentionally.

Then her dog discovered pot aggressively.

Now she has a greenhouse, and her dog is on a programme.

What about the golden ratio spiral

I've finally got comfortable at Habanero. I'm going to move up to ghost soon

That's an interesting way of spelling masochism haha

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

You can get a sort of “high” from it. The feeling when you are sweating from some demonic hot wings can be mind altering in a fun way.

Also tasty. Ghosts have a bit of sweetness to them. Would pair nice with chocolate. Habeneros and mangos are a pair like peanut butter and jelly. Or Carolina reaper in a block of nice cheese, so good.

I am also a masochist though, so YMMV. I could give the same explanation for why I used to let guys whip me on weekends.

I take offense that hatch green chiles are claimed to be less spicy than jalapeños. Also, habaneros are pretty often not that spicy, though plenty of them are.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Supermarket jalapeños these days are really lacking in heat- I’ve done zero research on this but 15, 20 years ago they had much more of a kick.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

5 years ago jalapeños packed more heat. I’ve been trying to pick a different pepper but my grocery does not stock many spicy peppers reliably

Shouldn't there be seven hot peppers?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

There almost are. 7 hot peppers, bell pepper, and poblano

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ahh yes. 7 is almost 9. Understood.

It's actually harmful for dog's kidneys to eat peppers, onions, garlic, or mustard.

It's basically fatal if they eat grapes.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Don't forget to mention what xylitol does to dogs.
Small amounts of arund 2 g per 10 kg body weight are very likely lethal within a short time if not treated instantly.
Xylitol can be in sugar free candy or chewing gum potentially making one piece of them a lethal dose for small dogs.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Where do you see that for peppers? Google tells me bell peppers are fine for dogs but spicy peppers will upset their stomachs. The rest, sure

Did he enjoy the experience, even if short-lived, of being able to breathe through his nose?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

I took him in as a stray foster dog who had been found on the street. I've spent thousands on his care. I don't claim they're healthy at all, but he's a delightful pet and I'm nursing him through his very geriatric years. I absolutely love him and he was a hilarious monkey back in his younger years. I'm just reminiscing on his funny days because he's having bad days lately.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Wait until you try Dante’s DiGiorno Giovanna ! It traps you in a time loop where you eat it over and over again, forever. Simply delightful !

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Pro move: Dehydrate all the peppers and sprinkle on top like God intended.

That nice butthole simulation
