A hot pepper will haunt you from the grave when, some time later, you scratch your eye or decide to rub one off.

Out*

If you're rubbing it off, please seek medical attention.

That's one terminal kink: removal of one's genitalia by vigorous friction? 🥹

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

On the other hand, "rub one out" is slang for a COMPLETELY different activity..

I'm glad they said it tho, I didn't understand before reading their comment lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You didn't understand that the comment they're replying to (mine) implicitly states exactly that same slang term? Um.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No lol I'd just never heard the term 'rub one out' before. Their comment made me realize what it meant

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Fair. 🤷🏼‍♂️🤪

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why would you rub your eye off?

Also, Buc-ee's ghost pepper jerky is my addiction.

Pineapple: am I a joke to you?

The only fruit that'll eat you back

Durian can get you in trouble with law enforcement in some parts of the world.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

Shout out to elderberries which are cyanogenic and pawpaw fruit which contains a neurotoxin.

Meanwhile durian oozes into the room and onions suddenly wants to die of shame.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If durian was so scary, why is their meat delicious.

At a hotel I stayed in this summer

With a sharp knife and proper technique you can avoid the tears.

Plus you don't have to wear gloves like when you're slicing chilis.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The only reason I slice chilis is because I crave the pain when I rub my eyes.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Try rubbing your genitals next time. That's super fun.

I was in a jazz fusion band called Habanero Face Mask. We were awful.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I wear gloves when slicing chillies for aesthetic reasons only

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yup. Just cut the root off before you start slicing the onion and there's no tears.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

There's a vegetable called the black salsify, which has a number of nicknames in different languages alluding to how much of a mess it makes when you cut it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Uh...chili peppers?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Grapefruit can put up a bit of a fight.
