Spicy isn’t a taste or a smell, it is a sensation caused by the compounds lowering the threshold to activate of heat detecting nerves too below the ambient temperature of the human body. It’s basically making you burn your self.

Lots of other “flavors” are also like this, lowering the threshold of firing for certain sensory nerves. Sichuan pepper for instance, it lowers the threshold for movement sensing, causing the bizarre tingle waving sensation.

Those heat sensing compounds exist all over your body, not just in your mouth.

Personally no thanks I don't want to start associating food I ate as poop.

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

I see we're having a debate about tasting shit. May I politely ask, would you like to "eat shit"?

Personally, nah.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 8 hours ago

To some, hilarity.

To others, science.

To others, horror.

To... Others.... Pleasure :(

I'm of the first three.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Your body absorbs all good flavors except spicy. Be happy.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Either that or some sick fucks of you here need to do some experimenting for all of us. For science.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 8 hours ago

I can see the headline now:

"World descending into World War III, meanwhile, obscure internet forum discovers horrible new way to diagnose illness"

[–] jaschen306@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 hours ago

I already HATE smelling my coffee and asparagus through my pee. I would fucking hate tasting my food a 2nd time.

[–] mustbe3to20signs@feddit.org 29 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Spicy is not a flavor, but literally a pain stimulus.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 hours ago

Butt pain stimulus huehuehue

[–] bearoftheisle@europe.pub 12 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

I don't think OOP has thought this one through, tasting things through my butt would be one of the last things I'd wish for

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 15 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

If our assholes had taste buds, you better believe there would be a whole category of dietary supplements aimed at making our shit taste good. Then there would be a backlash movement consisting of people who are proud to shit naturally and taste it.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 7 points 10 hours ago

We already have an entire subset of people who are proud to eat shit.

[–] Karl@literature.cafe 2 points 12 hours ago

You wouldn't want to feel some sweet diarrhea?

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 42 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

This is absolutely not true, your butthole can also taste menthol.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 16 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Menthol is just cool spicy

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

How many flavors of spicy are there?

Edit: just saw Qualia's comment directly below here

Ginger is one of seven times spiciness has independently evolved: gingerol, allicin (garlic), capsaicinoids (chili peppers), allyl isothiocyanate (mustard, horseradish, wasabi), piperine (black pepper), eugenol (cloves) and alkylamides (Sichuan peppers, which are distinct from chilis). They're all functionally pungent, but chemically distinct: meaning no single shared class.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 8 hours ago

Yeah, but how many can your butthole taste?

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 60 points 19 hours ago (4 children)

...I'm actually quite thankful my anus doesn't have taste buds.

Because spicy is not a flavor. Spicy is more like an allergic reaction to a chemical that certain plants excrete as a defense mechanism. Humans are just weirdos because we enjoy our mouths and buttholes being on fire.

Plant: develops high amounts of capsaicin to ward off predators

Humans: ooh, this would be great with chicken!

Plant: am I a joke to you?

[–] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 27 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Similarly:

Yeast: I'm going to eat all this sugar and produce a toxin that will kill off competing organisms!

Humans: HAHA! Funny juice make head all silly...

[–] the_beber@feddit.org 7 points 17 hours ago

Well… it‘s also killing humans, so… plan worked ig?

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 81 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Humans: YOU TWO PLANTS NEED TO FUCK, I NEED YOUR OFFSPRING TO BE HOTTER

So I'm scared to ask, but what do you mean your butt can taste spicy?

[–] Aljernon@lemmy.today 8 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I envy you that you've never taken a shit with your sphincter on fire and a tear rolling down your face

[–] MIDItheKID@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago

I like spicy things. I eat spicy things all the time. One time maybe 10 years ago I ate a "stinger" pie from a pizza place. It was a pizza with hot peppers and hot pepper oil. It was so spicy and so so good.

The events that occurred in the next 24 hours were something to behold. I was sitting on the toilet, sweating, shaking, and making my peace with God. It was an all day event. Full throttle.

Since then, my intestinal fortitude has been severely diminished. I have to be careful about eating things too spicy or it will mess me up. It's like I built up a thick intestinal lining over years and years, and this one event tore down the walls. They were blasted out.

Life has not been the same.

[–] texture@lemmy.world 11 points 14 hours ago

people who dont have a built up tolerance to hot spice just plain love talking about how their butts feel.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 5 points 12 hours ago

The anus isn't unique in having bodily reactions to irritants (capsaicin), people just don't expect things to not break down fully after they're ingested. No one talks about being surprised that your eye or nostril gets irritated if you have hot sauce on your fingers (nor would they be surprised by a burning sensation from hot sauce applied directly to butthole).

[–] rapchee@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago

if you eat spicy enough food, it will sting on the way out too

They're even spicier when you put the pepper directly in your ass.

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.today 12 points 17 hours ago (9 children)

Did you know your urethra can also taste spicy? Try sounding a Thai chili pepper!

Because I guarantee you that it no longer tastes like pancakes.
