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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Why would you rub your eye off?

Also, Buc-ee's ghost pepper jerky is my addiction.

Pineapple: am I a joke to you?

The only fruit that'll eat you back

Durian can get you in trouble with law enforcement in some parts of the world.

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago (2 children)

cyanogenic

They turn you blue?! 😱

[–] [email protected] 25 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

No that's Cyanure. Cyanogenic is when your genes grow yellow hair and get all angry and super warriors or something

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Actually it's cryonic. Cryogenic is when you cool things to the point where they become superconductors. Pop culture often gets this wrong.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

it's nice to see elderberries have a hobby at their advanced age 😊

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

Meanwhile durian oozes into the room and onions suddenly wants to die of shame.

[–] profoundninja 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If durian was so scary, why is their meat delicious.

At a hotel I stayed in this summer

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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (2 children)

The only reason I slice chilis is because I crave the pain when I rub my eyes.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

Try rubbing your genitals next time. That's super fun.

I was in a jazz fusion band called Habanero Face Mask. We were awful.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

I wear gloves when slicing chillies for aesthetic reasons only

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Uh...chili peppers?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Grapefruit can put up a bit of a fight.
