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.

Brassicas have entered the chat.
i like to imagine this was the plan all along, brassica oleracea saw humans and went

When your plan fails successfully
Every year in my garden, absolutely!

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.
Twist the tigers tale 10 times and get bitten.
Most creatures: don’t twist the tigers tail.
Us: …what about 9 twists…?
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.
Sorry, spicy food / capsaicin is toxic?
For pets it is. A bunch of spices are toxic for dogs and cats.
In high doses capsacin can be an irritant and cause temporary gastrointestinal issues in dogs AND humans It is also a neurotoxin (GLaDLY only short term effects) The dosage required for children and dogs may be lower as they are smaller source It has not been found to be lethal even at high doses in dogs and is quickly eliminated from there system. Source: 1, 2 Still don’t put your dog in pain (they can’t tell you when it hurts) and the side effects of high dosage can be dangerous just like in humans.
Guinee pigs however are very sensitive they can have long term health effects and it can be lethal so dont feed your guinee pig chilli (capsicum is great tho). Also other small mammals like rats, mice and rabbits can easily have a lethal dose because they are so small.
But yea from my research it is no more toxic for dogs than it is to humans
Oh and Its still good for humans in lower doses
everything is toxic, just depends on the dose
i’d certainly prefer to fill up on bread rather than dried peppers…
i’d more say it’s just that there’s always some other guy who goes “yeah well they twisted the tiger’s tail but… i haven’t twisted the tiger’s tail so maybe it’ll be different for me?”
then fucking somehow the tiger only smacks him on the head while making a funny face, he finds this fucking hilarious and does it again, gets his friends to do it, and now you have a group of dudes ooking like chimps while getting progressively more concussed while everyone else watches on with weary expressions knowing that this is just going to be a thing some people do from now on…
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.
i mean basically everyone these days doesn’t chew properly
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.
Fuck
