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 20 points 8 months 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 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Kase@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months 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 8 months 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 8 months ago

Fair. 🤷🏼‍♂️🤪

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 8 points 8 months 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 8 months 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 8 months ago (2 children)

cyanogenic

They turn you blue?! 😱

[–] hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 8 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 20 points 8 months 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 8 months 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 8 months ago

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

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

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 8 months ago

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

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

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

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] profoundninja@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

At a hotel I stayed in this summer

[–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 15 points 8 months 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 8 months 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 10 points 8 months ago

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

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

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

[–] SuckMyWang@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

I wear gloves when slicing chillies for aesthetic reasons only

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

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

[–] MadBob@feddit.nl 7 points 8 months 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.

[–] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 6 points 8 months ago

Uh...chili peppers?

[–] Sacreblew@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Grapefruit can put up a bit of a fight.
