A ~~song~~ shit of ice and fire.

[–] 9bananas 15 points 2 months ago (2 children)

you can just say season 8, but why would you, when a "a shit of ice and fire" is available as drop-in replacement?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Gonna start using "season 8" as a euphemism for a particularly bad shit now. "Brb, gotta produce season 8..."

I wanted to try this, but I dont exactly have a menthol source :/

(Or do I?)

Edit: I have a mint mouthwash and spicy cheese paste, hmmm

Edit2: Well, I took half the dosage of the moutwash and did a flush and then ate the cheese paste with the bread. I dont know if it was the fact that I didnt use enough mouthwash, but the experience was kinda mediocre.

At first the spicy didnt register, but that might be because for spicy cheese paste it takes a little time to feel the burn. I think I could feel both the icy and the spicy sensations, depending on where I focused, but it wasn't something amazing (or intense, but that's probably because both sources were mild). I think the taste that lasted the most is the sweetener from the mouthwash.😅

Maybe one day I'll make my cherry juice with menthol and capsaicin.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It could be many things, I dont exactly know😊

But come on, it's kinda safe fun, you just need to have the vision😌

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago

I appreciate your vision.

As someone who loves hot sauce and smokes menthols, I'm dubious. Maybe my hot sauce is too hot, but it will completely negate the menthol. I haven't tried it with Altoids or anything, but I don't know...

We mammals, and only we mammals, have nerve receptors capsaicin triggers. Birds don't have such receptors. They happily chow peppers and poop the whole seeds all over.

Meanwhile, we mammals, who are supposed to hate the heat because we grind the seeds to death, have happily bred hotter and hotter peppers and spread them all over the planet.

I know of no such evolutionary win-win as peppers have pulled off. Genius.

Truly "mission failed successfully"

Years ago I did a different version: getting out of a very hot jacuzzi then jumping into a snow bank. 'Worth a try. Once.

[–] [email protected] 75 points 2 months ago (2 children)

That's basically how you're supposed to do sauna in Finland

And it is amazing! Especially further north in like -20°C

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Yeah, it's pretty good!

I love sitting neck-deep in an outdoor hot tub on a cold day!

"they'll each other out"

How has no one commented on this?

[–] [email protected] 40 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Because our brains are amazing and can just fill out the missing word while reading. It sometimes makes us miss obvious errors like that.

[–] daddy32 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That wouldn't make for good programmers or proofreaders or autists I guess.

I literally did not notice. My brain just filled it in for me.

My new recipe book:

A Taste of Fire and Ice.

Just don't expect the sequel to be released anytime soon.

Rub A535 or Icy-Hot on your tender bits.

News: A recent Internet trend has people forming hurricanes in their mouths!

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago

No, this is cursed knowledge. I will have to try it now.

Cuz there ain't no party like a nudibranch party

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm love to experience with different heat sensation when cooking. Every pepper is warming slightly differently and you can change the whole tasting experience by change the "heat source" of a dish. Recently, I've tasted Sichuan pepper and it what actually cold! And a cold very different from mint. Although round-leave mint and pepper mint (here another plant called pepper that's cold!) have different sensation as well. I should try experiment with cold as well (*_*)

Spearmint would be good too if you're going for a slightly sweeter, less intense flavor than peppermint!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I didn't know the english name but this one is very good. A nice balance or freshness and flavor.

According to this theory, if I make Buldag ramen using boiling Listerine, it will be tasteless.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I gotta try this. Sounds like fun. The feels anyway. The tastes are gonna suck. Minty jalapeno? 🤢

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

They make spicy toothpaste at least.

[–] somebodysomewhere 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This is not new and it does work to some extent. Back in highschool my buddies and I used to cheat at hot wings challenges by chewing a few cough drops first.

[–] PrimeMinisterKeyes 5 points 2 months ago

In a very traditional Afghan restaurant I used to frequent, if you ordered something really spicy, they'd bring you these small mint drops afterwards to chew on, no extra charge. Worked very well for me.
