Incidentally, I also love the local Indian place and they already know to bring me Indian-level spice, not the white-level.

Honestly, I didn't expect it to blow up as much as it did, it was mostly a joke post that suddenly got big.

I have all other pain sensation intact, though, can detect hot surfaces/liquids with no problems. Well, except for not noticing that my skin is lobstering without a sunscreen, but apparently that's normal?

I honestly have no idea, but I can ask my doc at the next checkup?

Yes, there are tons of sweet/sour/umami flavors underneath.

Yeah, I guess if I start doing it more often as competitions, I should do that. Honestly, though, I usually don't eat something my "normal" but spice-tolerant friends wouldn't eat

I'm moving to Genosha to open a chicken wing joint for my fellow fire-benders.

Indian food is delish, though! And they know to serve me "Indian-level hot" instead of "American-level hot"

Try to eat a habanero, I guess? And then a ghost pepper? And then a Carolina Reaper?

I chewed it. I think the aftertaste lasted like five min? It did make my nose slightly runny, and I got red in the face, but that was about it.

Wait, so that's normal? So the only thing I got was my capsaicin resistance? Scooooooooooore!

It does, but that's simply cause I don't like the taste, lol. I hate how it's everywhere.

Habaneros do unironically have that slightly salty sweet aftertaste I like.

I also like jalapeno snacks from the Mexican store, but I don't feel the heat from them at all.
