i have a couple of recipes that call for just "chiles" or "dried chiles" without any further specificity and this meme made me more confused.

Well, I think you'll find that it really does matter if you use dried jalapeños or dried Carolina reapers.

In that case, you can use red chili peppers, but feel free to substitute any chili pepper to your taste.

Yeah I have a dal recipe that calls for "whole dry red chili", "green chili", and "red pepper".

I do my best to interpret this (usually arboles, poblanos, and cayenne, respectively) and I like the result, but I do sometimes wonder what the author intended.

I would interpret the red pepper as a red bell pepper, but that's just because so damn many chilies are red.
