This is accurate in that there would be no one there so seats would be empty. I made a post on gaming Lemmy and it got like 237 up votes before it was deleted for being ālow effortā. Meanwhile posts are few and far between so I quit the sub. Mods will be the quick death of Lemmy when they canāt recognize things like hmm we have low activity but letās be internet sticklers and have poor rules that stifle content and keep it boring.
Capsaicin doesnāt really affect your intestines, itās more of a skin irritant.
So just wash off your skin as soon as itās dirty, no burns.
This is from direct experience, i highly recommend anyone who likes spicy food(and everyone else) to get some sort of bidet rather than smearing waste on themselves with toilet paper.
Thereās a big difference between āI eat spicy food all the timeā and āHey, letās go buy some crazy hot sauces and do an evening where we eat them with whatever support we prefer going from the mildest to the hottest one!ā
Iāve got a sauce that I canāt put more than half a tea spoon of in a 10L batch of spaghetti sauce otherwise I have to decide who I eat it withā¦
So go to a hot sauce place, tell them you want 10 of them going from Tabasco hot all the way to 1m SHU and enjoy the spicy butt!
With a bidet, thereās a few seconds of burning if you really went crazy with spice, then you wash off and everything is back to normal vs. using toilet paper and suffering the burn and irritated skin for hours.
That is an escape.
As soon as I used my first bidet. I realized I had escaped the filthy cycle of toilet paper redistribution.
Ditto, I donāt want to touch none of that mess down there.
All I can think when I visit a country that doesnāt use bidets regularly is that all these people using their hands for everything were very recently groping around near the wrong end of themselves.
I just started my internship, and I have to say, it is so good not to have to worry about exams, projects and so on aftera full day of school and on weekends. When I close the lid of the laptop, the day is over. Plus I get smaller days, from 9 to 5 instead of from 8 to 5/6. I have never had as much free time
I always got pretty worried when adults kept saying that school was the good times growing up, as I didnāt have a particularly good time, and was not onboard for it being downhill from there.
Luckily Iāve learned that itās not actually universally applicable, my life has definitely just gotten better as Iāve gotten older.
For me, school was a shithole that I was glad it was over, those were not the good years. Things are not perfect, but they have gotten radically better ever since.
The only thing about school that was good is that I made a few very good friends. Those are probably going to be life long friendships.
Theyāre the good times because you see you had no responsibilities and endless potential to be so many things, which becomes less and less true as you age. Of course, itās miserable too not knowing what you are/what to do and feeling lost because you have no responsibilities, so itās really just a grass is greener thing I imagine.
Yeah I think it is a greener grass situation. Sure you may have no responsibilities, but you also have less freedom in school. You canāt live on your own, canāt drink or gamble or vote or anything like that, canāt go where you want, etc. Thereās always a trade-off.
Itās way better in some ways - especially if you find a good career in a field youāre passionate about.
But some of the responsibilities of adulthood are a burden that is hard to appreciate until youāre there. And the perspective gained by life experience is also very different, for better or worse.
For instance, I went through a breakup last year at 39 with someone I was fully expecting to marry. It was my first major relationship failure in decades, and as I was being dumped I expected it to crush me.
What ended up hurting the most was that it didnāt hurt that much. I didnāt spiral into depression or fall apart at work. I wasnāt happy about it, but I was fine. A younger me would have been overwhelmed by the emotional toll, but the adult me was able to keep moving forward without breaking stride.
And in a way thatās what hurts. The passion of youth has been tempered by a lifetime of experience that puts everything into perspective.
Ugh, as you get older, everything just starts to dull. Things are less important, less passionate, and more āmehā in general. And not in a depressed way, but more specifically that Iāve been there, done that for most emotions I could have.
I will say that now that I have an infant daughter, Iām finding those passionate emotions again and Iām excited as sheās excited and sad when sheās sad. That is the great part about parenting.
Ohh thatās where I remember you from. Do you still use it? I killed the script on my computer a couple of weeks ago, but I can turn it back on if you like
I havenāt used it that much tbf, just a bit. I finally have a homeserver now, so if I need it, I can just easily start my script. Thank you for the offer tho!
If you can afford not working, yeah. That wasnāt a reality for me or most people I know. Luckily Iām in a career that doesnāt value a major that much, so I dropped out after finding a decent job
I mean, for the subset of people who go to uni and can support themselves without also working a lot in that time, yeah.
In my time at uni there was
work, at which the hours were inconsistent
coursework, which there was a lot of
constantly battling a shit landlord who didnāt give a toss about uni students and left the flat in disrepair, but the housing shortage meant he could get away with charging a fortune for a mouldy flat with broken windows and non-working appliances
There was a lot of good, sure, but uni can be a very stressful time.
There is a big range between āparents could save up for their kidās collegeā and āparents own a large successful companyā.
Iām just some grunt working an office job, but Iām still lucky enough to be able to put away money for my kidās college fund since they were born. I hope that they wonāt need a job to get through college, when/if they go.
I think a big difference is what the free time is like. I worked full time or nearly through college, so I didnāt have much free time in terms of quantity. When I got it, it was often with friends and during the day. When I graduated, I got a job with regular hours for the first time- I had so much free time, but I didnāt have a lot to fill it with, nor did I have a lot of energy after sitting down. Developing an active hobby helped with both, but doesnāt work for everyone.
Iām in grad school now, working 30 hours a week, and I do feel much more weighed down, but Iām able to set my own schedule a lot more than I could when I worked in an office
Not trying to downplay your experience, but uni was actually so much better for meā¦ being able to focus on things that actually coincide with my interests and abilities in Uni was so liberating after being forced to go through five classes a day five days a week, most of which were either insultingly idiotic or existentially difficultā¦ Not to mention having an actually human-paced schedule with ample time to plan ahead instead of constantly being in damage reduction mode. I remember thinking to myself in the first year of uni: āIs this what normal life is supposed to feel like?ā Iām still recovering from school emotionally, but the fact that I finally have the mental space to recover is definitely a good sign. I guess you and I just have way different schools, universities, and personal circumstances!
You do it as a kid, then grow out of it, and finally its meaningful again. Break the pinky promise and i break the pinky. Its as easy as biting through a fucking carrot.
Iām generally very uncomfortable around bathroom humor/topics, but i gotta know. Are people really suffering down there from spicy foods? I love spicy food. Like, it took many, many visits before i convinced the indian restaurant near us to give me genuinely spicy food. Now they make it like they make it for themselves.
And donāt get me wrong, Iāve had the burning booty of death before, but the two things arenāt really linked. Like, spiciness has no impact on my bathrooming. I only ever get the burn down there if Iām sick. Is this seriously a problem people have when they so much as smell a bell pepper, as the internet has led me to believe?
As someone who thinks the āLast Dabā sauces from Hot Ones arenāt spicy enough, no. Your body adapts. I only burn my hole if I eat something thatās too salty now.
50 hours sounds like thatās average for how long it takes for food items to be fully digested and completely excreted from the body under normal circumstances, but not necessarily an average minimum amount of time for how long it takes food to start exiting the body in feces.
Those are very different data points, especially in the context of a discussion about spicy foods.
Spicy hot foods are typically spicy because of a chemical called capsaicin, which is an irritant in mammals. In high enough amounts and/or in sensitive people, capsaicin can irritate the lining of the digestive system and that irritation can have a laxative-like effect to varying degrees. In response to irritation, digestive motility / speed will increase, and the general trend is that the quicker something moves through the digestive tract, the less completely it is processed and digested.
Basically, if someone eats too much spicy food for their tolerance level, it is fairly typical for that to move through the digestive system more quickly than average AND the feces will contain proportionally more capsaicin. So, bowel movements less than 24 - 50 hours after eating the spicy food and a burning sensation associated with the act due to undigested capsaicin actually does make sense.
Because itās so hard to believe that some peopleās digestive systems work differently. Gut microflora is notoriously undiverse in humans. Surely the more likely explanation is that the person youāre responding to managed to go their whole life without ever eating spicy food despite actively seeking it out. /s
Maybe thereās a spice level at which Iād get bad shits, but I havenāt gotten so much as a tingle yet and I already have the highest tolerance than any white guy I know. You can be a spice snob and say āyou havenāt met my guy Rajesh yetā, but almost no-one saying āspice gives me bad shitsā has met Rajesh either so I donāt see the point.
My girlfriend felt the same way until we had a āHot Onesā party where the spiciest sauce was 750 000 SHU. She went to the bathroom the next morning and I just heard āOooooooooooohāā¦
Itās really weird, but as Iāve aged spicy food has really begun to bother me. I absolutely LOVE how it tastes in my mouthāeven the hottest levels of heat are enjoyable to me.
Iād say around the age of 25 it started bothering me some. Then it got worse as I approached 30. Now in my early 30s I can hardly eat anything thatās above āmildā without GI distress several hours later. Iām talking about a horrible burning sensation in my abdomen where it feels as though I can actually track the food moving through my GI tract. The next day I feel ill enough on the toilet that I have to make sure I donāt have plans for the first 1-2 hours of my day.
Itās super sad because I love spicy food, but itās not worth the payback. I myself work in healthcare and Iāve searched and searched for something that can physiologically explain that phenomenon (getting worse over the years) and thereās not really anything explained in the literature. All I can think of is something to do with changes in GI flora.
Yeah mine has gotten worse over time as well. When I was a teenager, I could eat anything. Now if I get a half scoop of the Chipotle hot salsa on my burrito, Iāll start feeling it 3 or 4 hours later. It sucks.
Yes, itās an age thing. Even a few years ago I was impressing my asian colleagues with how much I can take, and regularly ate ghost chili and carolina reapers for fun with friends.
Now at 35, had/have some problems down there, and the doctor told me to lay off spicy food, as I had a minor inflammation of my colon.
Same conclusion as you, I love it, but itās just not worth it. Good news though: I heard that itās really just a tolerance building thing, so if I stay off really spicy foods for a while, then I should be able to enjoy light spices later.
I weirdly had this issue but over the years I have continued to eat hotter and hotter food and the arsehole issue has gone away completely. Unless I get the shits for some other unrelated reason.
