@Timothy Gagliano “Mother of God” would be using The Virgin Mary’s name in vain, and that’s not a thing... That said, being sensitive to other people’s spiritual proclivities is a very decent thing to do (remember that when in the presence of people who are of a different religion or sect than yours.) Also, having a little Christian compassion for people whose personal boundaries are different than yours. Being Christian doesn’t automatically mean having a stick up your southernmost portal. Give people a little slack for good natured humor, I’m pretty sure the Good Lord does.

[@amanwithabucket5942]

@Timothy Gagliano You want your religion to be respected, but you can't respect another person's view on religion. That's pretty hypocritical.

[@ssimpala1901]

I accidentally crossbred some peppers about 30 years ago when Jalapenos were hotter than they are now (at least store bought that seem to be grown for size and weight and not spicy heat), I grew 6 Jalapenos plants right next to 6 mild Anaheim chilies in super rich fertilized soil. When they were nice and ripe on the plant I made some spicy guacamole with the Jalapenos and threw a half dozen what I thought were mild Anaheim chilies on the BBQ to eat with the Fajitas I was making. I roasted those Anaheims nicely green and black and sliced them into long fat pieces to eat on the tacos I had made. When I took a bite of that first taco and swallowed before the heat registered in my mouth, that first hit the bottom of my stomach and I immediately started uncontrollably hiccuping for about 15 minutes straight with my stomach muscles contracting and expanding and my nose started running and my eyes watered like I had just for the first time seen the ending of Old Yeller. Those Anaheims ended up being hotter than any Jalapenos I had ever had by far. After watching this video I wish I would have kept some of the seeds!

he should use a brush/puffer combo. Where the end of the brush is a normal brush head but the shaft is a hollow tube leading to a rubber puffer bottle. This way he can lightly puff the polin all over the flower stamen rather than relying solely on paining.

[@LostBeetle]

After months of daily habaneros I had my first reaper and handled it fine. Definitely the hottest thing I have ever had (I've had three now). To me It felt only a few times hotter than a habanero, hard to compare since the type of burn is so different. It's the stomach and intestines that tells you how much capsaicin you really had, and this is where I say you need to exercise caution with reapers. Keep in mind I have been having habaneros daily for the better part of a year, and the reaper still hurts the stomach. Someone new to this is probably going to throw up. Do not even think about doing it without a full stomach. And not just any full stomach either, you need to have a stomach full of high fat food. Good luck.
