Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

Someone was stealing my food at work so one day I loaded the sandwich up with dried ghost pepper flakes. Like an irresponsible amount of ghost pepper flakes. Found out that day who was stealing my lunch and the guy had the nerve to accuse me of poisoning him. Went to management and everything. Manager did the "both sides are wrong and need to apologise" strategy. "Guy, don't steal food, you, don't hurt people with your food. Now guy, apologise for stealing food and you apologise for the ghost peppers". I did not apologise.
Capsaicin definitely seems like the smarter choice than laxatives, since it's not so medically dangerous and very spicy food is something you might reasonably want to eat yourself.
The amounts of capsaicin I used to put in my food would function as a laxative for a vast majority of people. And had someone at that point stolen my food, I could've just eaten it and said "I like it spicy" and the thief would have zero recourse.
capsaicin in large doses can cause heart attacks. which is why that one chip challenge thing didn’t last long, a kid died.
There is a small percentage of the population that would die if exposed to that much capacasin, however I assume that most of us do our best not to be exposed to pepper spray, or "tainted food." This does make it so we don't generally steal food, because there's a high probability that we will be allergic to the stuff.
"Nope. Not apologizing. He's a fucking thief. I just tailored my food to how I like it."
I say this as someone that has a lethal allergy to capacasin. I would have died if I took one bite of that stolen food. That's just one reinforcing reason for me to not steal shit.
damn, seriously? I didn't even know that's possible. Do you have to carry an Epipen everywhere because of it?
Have to? No. Is it probably recommended? Yes, but only because pepper spray is so prevalent. Epipens are rather expensive.
“I value the food this asshole has already stolen at $100,000. I will apologize if he pays me $100,000 for the food he stole.”
