yep the channel has been suspended for tos violations now :/

woah woah, calm down bud.

umm, switches?

I just feel I need to concentrate on the basics. - Eat properly ( A balanced diet 3 times a day ) - Sleep at least 7 hours everyday

These are the first steps I want to take this year. health is more important to me than anything else

the HN algorithm is a bigger mystery than the universe itself

exactly, you can get the same nutrients from other food too. why do you need the exact texture and feel of meat if you don't want to eat meat.

I use them for my gmail and outlook accounts

literally 1984

we could compile our own binaries ;)

whatsapp still down in india

That is due to schools giving importance to memorization over critical thinking skills

Why? does turning off an oled TV cause problems?

Bangalore and Bengaluru are used interchangeably. But Bengaluru is its official name while Bangalore is its erstwhile colonial/English pronunciation

Curious how do you manage in India without whatsapp?

What about discord?

That's a really good idea!

It came back up after a few minutes

No site can escape the clutches of the deadly HN Hug Of Death x_x

Even these days its no different. I got injured in a small Indian town and went to a local health center. The nurse never told me what they were injecting into me and frowned when I asked them if it was a tetanus injection or an antibiotic. Their tone changed to You should trust us and not question our experience

I think this confusion is probably caused by English not being my first language.

I messed up my grammar English isn't my first language. I don't know how to phrase it properly. I'll edit the comment when I figure it out.

It is an interesting study but why would an anti-microbial agent act as an animal deterrent. A goat or a monkey would disperse the seeds if not for capsaicin. I feel that there was some evolutionary pressure for selecting against animals consuming the fruit or else only some animals would feel effects of capsaicin and others would not.

What's the point in looking for loopholes in my analogy lol. It was just what came up in my mind first.

But would you eat chilli peppers like how you'd eat other fruits and veggies? Say tomatoes or beets. No. ofcourse not.

1)humans like and enjoy sugar.

2)humans don't like jumping of a cliff but enjoy the thrill of doing it.

spices are in the second category

ginger, black pepper or long pepper could be a better example

The plant has evolved capsaicin as an animal deterrent as only birds can disperse chilli pepper seeds while animals digest the seeds. No other animal other than humans like chilli. Humans are an exception because we cook our food and cooking alters food chemistry in a such way that spices become desirable when mixed with meat or vegetables. You won't be able to eat even 50g of ripe red chillies freshly plucked from the chilli shrub.

Sichuan pepper is native to Asia and is a citrus species. it is an old world plant.

pick a chilli from a plant and eat it like how an animal would do in the wild. you'll want to jump into a pond after that. The chilli plant evolved in such a way that humans don't like chilli pepper. Humans used cooking and drying and diluting and other modern methods to reduce the ill-effects of spices and enjoy its flavors in small quantities.

Humans don't like chilli pepper. It literally burns our mouth. We enjoy the burning feeling in small quantities.
