Can we get an update on this man's health?

[–] KidsTryThisAtHome@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I want an update on his butthole the morning after, I love Carolina reaper hot sauce but PHEW, I have to limit myself if I don't want too painful of a shit the next morning

[–] OneOrTheOtherDontAskMe@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They had to surgically bypass his butthole, would have caused too severe damage and our plastic surgery hasn't gotten buttholes down just yet. They installed a sting from his upper intestine directly to a lead-reinforced toulet.

News headlines next week:

“Guy dies after eating 135 Carolina reapers.”

Or

“Guy had 135 Carolina reapers surgically removed..”

Seriously, I hope he’s ok.

Whyyyyyyyyyy

Apparently it's to break a record, but that doesn't really answer the question of why tho

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Guinness stopped recording some records, apparently, because of the increasing health risk in trying to break those records.

If this is a Guinness record he's challenging, I can't see that as a long-term thing.

Nah, you can see how he puts his left hand over his mouth after each one, he's hiding them all in a fake plastic thumb. No but seriously either this guy's somehow coated his entire digestive system with some kind of protective lining or he's gonna suffer a very painful death. I wouldn't want to be his sphincter the day after this

I mean, they don't even look like real food they're so red.

Good ole puckerbutt.

I like hot food but I got some sauce that is made from Carolina reapers. We make chilli con carne for the family but feed the kids first before adding the sauce. I literally put a table spoon in and that's more than enough. It's crazy just how hot it is. I really have no idea how people can stomach a whole chilli.

[–] sik0fewl@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

He must be a bird.

[–] Aux@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

I usually add about a tablespoon of such sauce per portion...

[–] rx8geek@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Does it actually taste nice though? I like really hot food, e.g. love the taste of buldak bokkeum myun and regularly eat the Samyang 2x. But I find these chilli's have some really unpleasant flavour compared to more 'normal' chillies.

[–] Aux@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

Imho original Buldak is better than 2x. 2x doesn't have good flavour. It's just hot. It's better to make regular Buldak and add something super hot to it.

[–] WoahWoah@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

Carolina reapers actually have a very nice flavor profile: pleasantly sweet at first, then earthy, floral, bitter. The heat is a little delayed, and it starts in your throat and then comes all the way out to your lips.

They're absolutely devastating.

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

This guy is gonna die. I can handle super spicy, but had to stop eating spicy food so much cause I started having bleeding from ulcers from too much of it. The sauce was bad, but it was absolutely brutal if I ate raw peppers, I don't do that anymore.

[–] discodoubloon@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children)

Yeah at a certain point it’s not about how much mouth pain you can stand. It’s definitely unhealthy for your gut to eat that insane level of spicy food that often. Even in Indian and Szechuan cooking they are not trying to destroy you.

I found myself having to eat a lot more probiotics and stuff when I was eating spicy food all the time. Once you pass the habanero threshold I think there is potential for damage… at least that’s my experience.

[–] nyoooom@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not sure what's causing the digestive reaction tho, as technically the capsaicin isn't burning anything, it's just a false signal from your nerves

I really wonder if there are actual risks, other than the ones caused by ingesting such large amount of food

[–] discodoubloon@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

My main guess is just ingesting a lot of some weird molecule and we have no way to process it really. Headline would kinda be the same with 135 Oreos in one sitting if the heat didn’t matter.

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah my go to is ghost Pepper sauce, so it was way too much for my system

[–] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Eating hot peppers is actually quite good for your stomach unless you have irritable bowel syndrome, dyspepsia, or inflammatory bowel disease--in which case, hot peppers join a very long list of other foods that can cause or aggravate symptoms of those diseases.

Eating hot peppers does not cause ulcers. In fact, among the many health benefits of capsaicin, it lowers acid production in the stomach. It's actually been considered as a preventative treatment when taking things that DO actually cause ulcers--again, spicy food not being one of them.

This connection between spicy foods and ulcers is a long perpetuated myth that has been disproven over and over again. Capsaicin can, however, aggravate preexisting ulcers.

Ouch. I hope his stomach is okay, I have to imagine the pain is intense.
