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

[–] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Out*

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

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

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Kase@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 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.

[–] Kase@lemmy.world 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

[–] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Fair. 🤷🏼‍♂️🤪

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 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

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

cyanogenic

They turn you blue?! 😱

[–] hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No, that's cyan. Cyanogenic is an open-source mobile operating system used as an alternative to Android.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, that's cyanogenmod, Cyanogenic is when you go into a cold storage unit meant to preserve your life.

[–] SoonaPaana@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No that's cryogenic. Cyanogenic is the small capsule that spies bite on when they are captured so that they can die quickly.

[–] seliaste@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago

No that's Cyanure. Cyanogenic is when your genes grow yellow hair and get all angry and super warriors or something

Actually it's cryonic. Cryogenic is when you cool things to the point where they become superconductors. Pop culture often gets this wrong.

[–] attofreak@leminal.space 1 points 1 year ago

it's nice to see elderberries have a hobby at their advanced age 😊

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Maybe that's what happened to Eiffel 65 or that moon Elvis was singing about!

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.

[–] TheFriendlyDickhead@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 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.

[–] SuckMyWang@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I wear gloves when slicing chillies for aesthetic reasons only

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 6 points 1 year ago

Uh...chili peppers?

[–] Sacreblew@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Grapefruit can put up a bit of a fight.
