For a little context on the scoville scale:

  • 2,500,000 Ghost pepper
  • 350,000 Habanero
  • 50,000 Tabasco pepper
  • 10,000 Jalapeno
  • 2,500 Poblano
  • 500 banana pepper

I grew and made sauce from Habanero chili's last year, lactofermented with 1/2 chili, 1/2 apricots, garlic, cumin, and salt. ZOMG it was sooooo good! I gave some to friends. And was perusing one of their refrigerators, and indeed the Last Jar sat there un-opened. I had to have some, on Apple Pie. It was heavenly! And I had the social restraint to put the jar back where I found it, instead of running off with it, giggling, into the night.

Habanero chili.... On apple pie.

I don't know what kind of mad beast of a creature you are but please stay out of my kitchen, no offense

if you like habaneros, you might want to try scotch bonnets next.

They're about the same in terms of heat, but slightly different flavor.

I do like scotch bonnets and have grown them. Have you tried Madame Jeanette chili's? Also in the same heat and fruity flavor range. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madame_Jeanette

Seems like someone's take on Nietzsche comes via Nazi bs, not any real understanding.

That, or I missed that he genuinely couldn't take spicy food, but I'm pretty sure fellating the ubermensch concept to his own detriment at every opportunity was not how he lived.

With my shallow understanding of Nietsche, this comic is accurate that Nietzsche admires and sees the Übermensch as a goal for humans. But "rising above nature" and "the spirit is stronger than the body" is exactly the opposite philosophy to the Übermensch.

Exactly the ubermensch is an ideal goal which is not really reachable and the whole comic reeks of ignorance tho tbf Nietzsche is commonly misunderstood like that so hard to blame the Oc
