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

      Out*

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

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

        On the other hand, “rub one out” is slang for a COMPLETELY different activity…

              You didn’t understand that the comment they’re replying to (mine) implicitly states exactly that same slang term? Um.

                No lol I’d just never heard the term ‘rub one out’ before. Their comment made me realize what it meant

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

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

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

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

              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.

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

    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.

      I wear gloves when slicing chillies for aesthetic reasons only

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

    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.
