*why is it spicy*

[@alexisv874]

JAJAJAJAJA

[@theanswer42xx]

In case anyone was wondering: Mammals are the only ones that feel the pain effect from spicy foods. It comes from something called capsaicin that mimics a neurotransmitter that translates to pain or injury from heat or burning in the brain. Insects would only be deterred by physical heat or acidic properties strong enough to damage their bodies. Birds are also not susceptible to spice and are used by many plants such as the reaper pepper to eat and spread their seeds.

[@kai_fatallysapphic]

it's so interesting the chemicals plants produce to deter certain animals from eating them, but we enjoy them for that reason. like caffeine and nicotine are naturally produced insecticides

[@dangerousatomizer6162]

Does the stomach also have receptors for Capsaicin? If it's only the neurotransmitters only giving the illusion of heat, why do I have diarrhoea whenever I eat spicy food? 😢

[@cashnelson2306]

@@dangerousatomizer6162perhaps a website called google could offer some insight instead of a random youtube commenter

[@kai_fatallysapphic]

@@dangerousatomizer6162 i believe that happens because there's receptors in your intestines, and the pain makes your body push it through the system faster that it usually does

[@eldoradoboy]

@@kai_fatallysapphic esp the colon.. my doctor explained that the colon removes moisture fro mthe stool as it tracvels throug hthe colon.creating the solids.. if the body is trying expel what it feels as a toxin it pushes through much faster.. thus liquid stool.. whats always been nteresting is that if hot foods exhibit some type of toxicity, why arent they vomited out.. I rarely see people eating excessively hot food, toss their cookies.. alcohol on the other hand does. when a person binge drinks too fast, the body sees the alcohol as a toxin and you toss it before it has a chance to fully absorb..

Idk about sugars, but they will definitely be spicy. Even just habaneros for the people that arent use to them, just touching the inside of them, and then going to pee hours later will still make your penis burn. Same goes with inside of nose, eyes, mouth, anus. a reaper is much much spicier, they def are spicy

[@5amH45lam]

@@Amas-ev7fp I can speak from personal experience that a cursory hand-wash after preparing habañeros is insufficient, if you intend to use the bathroom afterwards. You must scrub, scrub, scrub first! Regarding the mealworms, I just wondered if they had an enzyme or whatever (I'm no expert) that processed the spiciness into a more digestible substance. And if so, would that mitigate/remove the spiciness if one was to eat some? Just wondered... Thanks y'all for the replies anyways 👍

this is honestly fascinating as a way to look at all the plants' defense mechanisms, like, when its a fruit the skin clearly does its job as a defense mechanism for a hot moment, the pepper and avocado even had to be cut to make things easier for the lil lads. meanwhile the lettuce was completely defenseless and got absolutely obliterated also shout out to the absolute icon that took out that apple stem and opened the way for the rest of their homies to get into the apple's tasty tasty insides

@@bwgaming7586 Some worms not only remember how to complete a maze but just the act of dehydrating them, grinding them up and feeding them to other worms gives those worms the knowledge to complete the maze on their first go. You would think animals like cows for instance are pretty dumb but actually they are very smart and except for their massive difference in weight act more like a dog.

[@halonothing1]

This video brings up some interesting questions. Like if mealworms even have the TRPV1 receptor that capsaicin has to bind to in order to cause the spicy sensation. You would think they might be too simple to have any sort of taste receptors. I know there are sites where you can view the genome of different animals. I'll have to see if I can find mealworms and see if they have receptor.

They are worms - they are not capable of feeling pain (judging by the way they ate that pepper) let alone happiness.

[@Min-ke6zc]

​@the_kombinator Mealworms are capable of feeling pain, just like any other animal with nerve endings. Only mammals are hurt by capsaicin - birds happily eat peppers of comparable heat. I can't speak to their experience of more complex emotions like happiness, but they can detect whether or not they have a full belly, and stop eating before they become uncomfortable. There's a certain satisfaction to that, even without complex thought.
