Yeah I'm convinced that Spicelords are just sad literally tasteless people who can't enjoy food on a culinary level as much as they can on a competitive level. Anyone who likes it so spicy that you're mostly tasting spice, I'm not impressed bro. I can eat like that too. I just choose not to because I have actual taste. Don't say this "ohhh but I'm used to it so I taste the flavor too" no you don't, you taste a sad mangled version of the flavor through the spice. How many professional taste testers or culinary geniuses or famous chefs are scarfing down 5000 billion Scoville Ancient Ghost of The Demon King Peppers? Oh right, none of them. Fuck

    I mean it's like getting a taste for bitter things - once you are used to it, the flavor is more than just "spice." I have four different bottles of hot sauce over 1M scoville, and I can easily tell them apart by taste and smell. It opens up an entirely new realm of flavor profiles once you can tolerate the spice and taste what comes with it.

    For sure, for sure. I don't mean to disparage spice itself. I also judge people who refuse to have spicy food (unless it's for medical reasons ofc), and the classic bland food fan who thinks black peppercorn is spicy. I guess I just pretty much am judging everyone aside from the Goldilocks zone people who appreciate and value spice but also don't place it above everything else or turn it into something its not

    it's not that, it's that i get a tummyache if i don't eat enough spicy food each day.

    opposite of all y'all who get tummyaches if you eat any spicy food i know i'm weird. they have literally tried to study it in a lab.

    i had some really fucky gastro stuff happen to me and my surgeon just happened to be plugged into research so i got to be a professional test subject

    Sometimes I just want a murder hot soup or entree because it beats the other recreational poisons in terms of long term damage, but I still feel good after.

    I enjoy food, but I also like an occasional escape by capsaicin. If that's ok with you, I mean.

    Lol, I mean yeah I get you. Like I said, I can also eat super spicy food. And that's not the sort of thing you find out by accident. There is a certain pleasure to it, maybe sinus clearing, or the sort of psychological sensation akin to a cold plunge from forcing yourself to endure something difficult. And I love the hottest variety of hot cheetos. And Thai food really does need some decent hest or its just not right. I think the true defining characteristic of a Spicelord isn't enjoying super spicy food, but being pretentious and weird about it.
