Reply to comment by Nerdcoreh in TIFU by eating the one chip challenge by Dapper_Weekend8391

Lets not gatekeep what is and is not spicy. I enjoy spicy things. But you do know that a jalapeno is considered spicy by many. It's a good descriptor, so just because others don't consider it THAT spicy does not mean that someone doesn't enjoy spicy food.

This one of the most terminally online things I've ever read. Describing the reality of a scale of spiciness is not gatekeeping. Whether or not you find jalapenos spicy, habaneros are spicier, and ghost peppers spicier than them.

Edit: Ok guys, tomatoes are spicy, just so everyone can say they like really, really spicy food. After all, reality is secondary to including everyone in every possible group.

the fact that you wrote down with a straight face lets not gatekeepd spicy food blows my mind. it doesnt matter what someone consider spicy because there is a number what tells you how hot a food is. If you eat something what you consider hot and its at the bottom of the scale chances are you are not good with spicy food.

I was saying that the spiciest pepper that I had in my life was a habanero. That doesn't mean I don't eat things that are slightly less spicy. Like for example, scotch bonnets, thai chillis and more, the chip was on my bucket list mainly because where i live I don't have very much choices to go with, especially when it comes to peppers and such things.

It's kinda like a casual hiker posts TIFU by climbing Everest.

As a spice wuss who's friends with other spice wusses, I assure you there are plenty of people who you couldn't pay to eat jalapenos.

Lol, right. I douse tacos with mild seasoning in sour cream and buffalo wings with ranch. Could not pay me enough to jalapeños.

Yeah but like jalapeños I assume have a scoville number? But things like mashed potatoes and broccoli probably don’t? So it’s not fair to say things like jalapeños are not spicy or you don’t really like spicy food if you stop at habeneros.
