Tbf I've meet an increasingly large number of non-kkkrackkker people who can't handle spicy food. I have a First Nations friend who gets the runs from Buffalo wings. Heck my partner is half Ecuadorian and my honkey ass can handle spice better than them.

I think some people just got sensitive stomaches shrug-outta-hecks

    My stomach has never been the issue with spicy food. The issue is when there's too much capsaicin, it is just agony in my mouth. It makes me fucking hiccup. And due to the physical properties of capsaicin if the food is too spicy every bite just makes it worse and the sensation takes forever to go away even while drinking milk.

    I really do not get why anybody seeks it out outside of some perverse "dudes rock" self flagellating thrill seeking. Things taste better when you use peppers that have flavor other than "ow"

    I think ghost pepper is fine and can add a unique flavor but it's really quantity dependent

    for me the perfect level of spicy is at the level of a hot paprika, like how I've been making the cajun food for work. I get that feeling of warmth, a lot of smoky pepper flavor, and I can always make it a little spicier with some cayenne. I get good enough reviews from my Turkish and Mexican coworkers and I think if I made it any spicier a majority of people would just refuse to eat it lol

    Have you considered I like the thrill of eating the pain plant and it making my mouth go "AHHHHHHH!"
