It's a dick measuring thing.
Is anyone who enjoys something that you don't measuring their dick, or does it have something to do with the inherent double entendre related to noodles?
I mean, when I eat spicy things I'm not even thinking about my genitals; I'm enjoying my food.
I never said I don't enjoy spicy food. But it's so obviously a dick measuring contest for most people. No one talks about how much salt they can "handle", no one makes fun of people for not being able to stomach a really sweet energy drink. But with capsaicin it's so prevalent, it's a whole subculture dedicated to pissing in a line. I mean this whole thread is only popular because the initial proposed underlying thought is "haha, Denmark can't handle spice". It's all very juvenile.
It also clashes a bit with how I understand enjoying food. I get that you can maybe build up a tolerance to capsaicin that's different to a "sugar tolerance", but typically I don't go for the food with the most sweet flavor or the most smoky flavor just because I like those specific flavors. Why, following a similar logic there would be a smoked food challenge where people eat fucking charcoal, no?
me, looking down at my pants Ohhhhh, so that's why I've never felt the need to do any of that, I eat my noodles normally and I drive a subcompact, if you know what I mean. ;)
Yeah, I get it. You're cordless, right?
Yeah, no cord. Just a huge battery attached.
