Could someone remember that capsaicin is more toxic to parasites ? Literally kills worms…
Hey, let's breed them to make it hurt even more

And it’s burned to keep elephants from destroying crops. And sprayed casually into faces of peacefully sitting protesters by cops.

Still successful, though. Humans have spread the seeds of capsicum farther than any bird ever did.
We’re just fuckin weirdos about it

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!”

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 🤷🏼♀️

Did you know that, “spicy” is the only thing you can taste with your asshole?

Chickens love spicy food, and their rags supposedly taste better when they have it in their diet.
Guinea Hens and spicy peppers both come from the same part of the world too I believe.

I have a parrot and she loves peppers. I have given her super hots a few times, like Carolina reaper etc, and it’s hilarious until you realize how messy she is. The entire vicinity becomes a straight up biohazard by the time she is done.
