Taste the flavor
(lemmy.world)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
It really depends on the chili for me. Certain chilies can be very spicy but short lived, and others are medium but just destroy my guts for the next day or two. I think it might also have to do with the amount of oil in a dish?
Capsaicin (the chemical that causes the heat sensation in chilis) is soluble in oil, so it can definitely play a role.
