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.

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

ah so its like crawling out of dante's inferno?

[–] [email protected] 61 points 3 days ago (4 children)

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 days ago

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

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

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

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.

Peppers should be reversed, hottest to the outside edge

Unless you eat pizza like this moron

[–] [email protected] 94 points 3 days 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 3 days 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 3 days 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 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (3 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day 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.

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

That's an interesting way of spelling masochism haha

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Well, at least for me, it isn't actually something I'm actively pursuing. I like spicey things that have a kick, but you get used to the heat, so you gotta turn up the heat for the same experience. I guess in that aspect, it's kinda like drugs.

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

I'm still working on getting comfortable to Cayenne. I can eat them, but I devinetively can't eat a lot of them.

What about the golden ratio spiral

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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] 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Note: it is habanero. Said with any Spanish accent it's gonna basically be abanero.

I do not envy your experience btw. I like the ultra spicy stuff, but that's when I expect it. If I was making what I thought was pineapple-habanero salsa and instead got the butthole destroyer, I'd be pretty upset.

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

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

That nice butthole simulation

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago

Truly an Italian hell. Mint on pizza.

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.

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

We made some cannabis butter once. Then, rather than throw the plant residue away, we used it as mulch in flower pots. Our ever-inquisitive dog ate it. She behaved bizarrely for a day, was still a bit loopy the following morning, and has been fine ever since. The plant residue now goes into the compost bin, which the pooch hasn't yet figured out how to get into.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

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] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

*Habanero. No tilde on the n.

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 days 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

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 days 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
