What is this? A stuffed crust commercial? Who eats pizza from the outside in? The reaper will completely mar your capability to taste the other layers of hell’!

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You start off with the fire so you can progressively cool off.

ah so its like crawling out of dante's inferno?

I've finally got comfortable at Habanero. I'm going to move up to ghost soon

I'm still working on getting comfortable to Cayenne. I can eat them, but I devinetively can't eat a lot of them.

You can get a sort of “high” from it. The feeling when you are sweating from some demonic hot wings can be mind altering in a fun way.

Also tasty. Ghosts have a bit of sweetness to them. Would pair nice with chocolate. Habeneros and mangos are a pair like peanut butter and jelly. Or Carolina reaper in a block of nice cheese, so good.

I am also a masochist though, so YMMV. I could give the same explanation for why I used to let guys whip me on weekends.

[–] Letsdothisok@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Well, at least for me, it isn't actually something I'm actively pursuing. I like spicey things that have a kick, but you get used to the heat, so you gotta turn up the heat for the same experience. I guess in that aspect, it's kinda like drugs.

That's an interesting way of spelling masochism haha

[–] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 61 points 2 days ago (4 children)

I feel like the pizza itself should be arranged the other way around, with the hottest on the outside and the mildest toward the center, so that the more you eat the more pain you experience. Nobody eats a pizza crust first.

However, that would ruin the Inferno reference.

That's the definition of tragedy: a great pizza ruined by literalism.

[–] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 7 points 2 days ago

On the other hand if you arrange it the other way around you get more of the spicier stuff.

[–] A7thStone@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I eat pizza crust first, except for stuffed crust. I eat that the "normal" way.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nobody eats a pizza crust first.

You would be surprised. I have met such people. In specific circumstances, such as stuffed crust, I will occasionally eat pizza crust first.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

that one donald trump pizza hut ad. think ringo starr did one too

[–] HappySkullsplitter@lemmy.world 177 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Peppers should be reversed, hottest to the outside edge

Unless you eat pizza like this moron

[–] LilDumpy@lemmy.world 94 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Who is that guy? What dumb idiot, eating pizza like that. Luckily the American people would never elect such stupid dumb idiot like whoever that guy is.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 48 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'll bet he is stupid enough to look directly at the sun!

Obviously no one would vote for that guy. What would the other countries think?

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He looks so dumb, I bet he can’t even spell “coffee.”

[–] HurlingDurling@lemm.ee 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He's probably not from new york. I heard you can get lynched if you eat pizza like that in new york

Unless you eat pizza like this moron

It's a red flag

[–] Nora@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 2 days ago (6 children)

Firstly, that guy looks like a fuckin idiot eating pizza like that. Second, the ninth circle is frozen over in Dante's bible fanfic, so idk maybe by that logic this is the right pepper order?

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I suspect that's from when stuffed crust pizzas started becoming a thing.

What about the golden ratio spiral

That nice butthole simulation

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Last year I planted some pepper plants, jalapeno and (what I thought was) jabanero. The peppers on one of the jabanero plants had these tiny little bumps on them and they eventually turned red instead of the usual orange of the jabaneros. When I ate the red bumpy ones, it wasn't so much that they were hot as it felt like I'd just been punched hard in the lips. I thought that they were just some kind of weird mutation, but it turns out they were actually Carolina Reapers that had been mislabeled at the plant store. I like hot food, but that shit was too much for me.

[–] RedAggroBest@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Note: it is habanero. Said with any Spanish accent it's gonna basically be abanero.

I do not envy your experience btw. I like the ultra spicy stuff, but that's when I expect it. If I was making what I thought was pineapple-habanero salsa and instead got the butthole destroyer, I'd be pretty upset.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Those are ROUGH. My pug ate some heritage seed peppers called Royal Black. He found them to his liking.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 2 days ago

"They say he carved it himself from a bigger spoon."

Pro move: Dehydrate all the peppers and sprinkle on top like God intended.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

My dear friend has some pot plants.

Her dog discovered pot accidentally.

Then her dog discovered pot intentionally.

Then her dog discovered pot aggressively.

Now she has a greenhouse, and her dog is on a programme.

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

We made some cannabis butter once. Then, rather than throw the plant residue away, we used it as mulch in flower pots. Our ever-inquisitive dog ate it. She behaved bizarrely for a day, was still a bit loopy the following morning, and has been fine ever since. The plant residue now goes into the compost bin, which the pooch hasn't yet figured out how to get into.

If going by the book, the very center should be mint.

Truly an Italian hell. Mint on pizza.

I take offense that hatch green chiles are claimed to be less spicy than jalapeños. Also, habaneros are pretty often not that spicy, though plenty of them are.

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

*Habanero. No tilde on the n.

Supermarket jalapeños these days are really lacking in heat- I’ve done zero research on this but 15, 20 years ago they had much more of a kick.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

5 years ago jalapeños packed more heat. I’ve been trying to pick a different pepper but my grocery does not stock many spicy peppers reliably

It's actually harmful for dog's kidneys to eat peppers, onions, garlic, or mustard.

It's basically fatal if they eat grapes.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Where do you see that for peppers? Google tells me bell peppers are fine for dogs but spicy peppers will upset their stomachs. The rest, sure
