    Bizarre is hijacking jokes and memes to virtue-signal and crow about what you think is good or not. And don’t conflate personal opinions with objective quality, that’s the mistake many people make that triggers an explanation on what opinions are and their worth.

    Do like the others and take that frustration elsewhere, as I didn’t engage with this meme post to battle semantics with frustrated reddit users. That’s my opinion for you and of you, do what you will with it.

    Damn, the irony and gaslighting, not to mention selective reading. And on such a small and insignificant topic, no less. Quite the teen behaviour.

    You’ll have to get in line and convince me if you want me to engage with your cheap attempts at proving yourself. Same for any other frustrated teen wanting to engage in keyboard warrior-ing.

    Don’t take it so hard, champ. This is a friendly and funny meme thread about spicy sauces. Such a shame to hijack jokes to derail it into pettiness like that. Reddit much? 🤔

    So your personal preferences dictate whether a product is good or not, and whether other people should also like it (“I do not like Tabasco, therefore its quality is shit”). Right. I’ll be sure to defer to you in my future personal tastes. 🙄

    This is not a pissing contest about who can hold the most Carolina Reapers in. It’s a really subjective thing, which is why when the other commenter implied it was about hotness scale (which is valid foe those who go by it when choosing their preferred hot sauce), I personally go more by flavor. At least the other comment, while somewhat in condescending tone, was a way more productive opinion, backed with sources and actual measurements. 🤷‍♂️

    Cheers.






  • Exactly. Society should never conflate knowledge driven by curiosity and knowledge as an excuse for sadism.

    There’s a difference between experimenting by following rules, and then observing the results vs giving in to base forbidden desires just to see what happens or trying to bend reality to confirm one’s bias - I mean, just look at how people tried to justify until decades ago a black person’s ‘inferiority’ and their discrimination by coming up with all sorts of anatomical observations. That’s the danger.

    Ironic thing, we already tried this approach multiple times before, specially on war times. And each time humanity concluded that some knowledge has too high a price and we’re better off not finding out some things.

    Knowledge for the sake of knowledge, especially with a heavy blood cost, isn’t the way to progress as a species.

    And I should know, as a person greatly defined by curiosity about everything and more limited emotional capacity than other people due to mental limitations.
