Mammals spread the seeds even more.

I was gonna say; not a lot of other creatures setup industrial farms… If you want to survive as a plant species, making humans like you isn’t a terrible strategy.

Just know that you're never going to be good enough for the humans and they're going to "fix" you.

I saw a video saying that this was so that birds would eat instead of mammals. Something about spreading out further.

Yep!

Only mammals have the nerve receptors to feel the heat.

Herbivores grind the seeds up. Plants don’t want that.

Birds, who can’t sense the heat, happily eat the pods and poop the seeds everywhere.

Has anyone checked for correlation between having a taste for capsaicin and not chewing your food thoroughly?

Shut up I just eat fast.

Humans are largely human because we are terrible “one-trial learners.” We twist the tiger’s tail until it turns on us. We don’t learn. We come back to twist the tiger’s tail some more.

Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca on 17 Jan 16:02 next collapse

Twist the tigers tale 10 times and get bitten.

Most creatures: don’t twist the tigers tail.

Us: …what about 9 twists…?

lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 17 Jan 16:10 next collapse

Speak for yourself. I never twisted any tiger’s tail but neither do I judge you for your kink

That’s not the only toxic thing humans eat, drink or smoke. Chocolate, coffee, alcohol and probably many more.

skittle07crusher@sh.itjust.works on 17 Jan 22:27 collapse

Sorry, spicy food / capsaicin is toxic?

SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world on 17 Jan 22:37 collapse

For pets it is. A bunch of spices are toxic for dogs and cats.

Fuck

And yet, it is a much more common plant now, whose offspring comes in many new forms. It has gained the care and protection by a mammal.

Joke’s on us. We’re being farmed by capsicum.
