Why is the heat inherently good? Would your chili head friend be able to answer this for me? 😅 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works [S] 4 points 1 year ago (1 child) I'll ask him. I will also say that, purely from a dopamine standpoint I can see the value. The endorphine dump from super spicy food, or cold showers, or from skydiving, or adrenaline seeking activities kinda has its own reward. It also comes with less liver damage or legal ramifications than other highs. As I'm cutting down alcohol I've dabbled with super hot foods from time to time :). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) Interesting. I guess if you're a person who needs those hits of endorphins/dopamine/adrenaline/what have you, it seems like a good outlet. 😁 As for me, I like it more zen, you could say.😌🧘♂️ Sports, exercise, and video games give me enough highs, I think. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works [S] 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) I needed fewer jolts, so to speak, before kids.
