The history of food and cooking. On that, I may keep talking until you're ready to eat something yourself.

I feel personally attackedI got one that I forgot about for a while. My hatred for spicey foods and why it’s unnatural.
The spice from things like peppers and chili’s are actually toxin defenses that the peppers developed so they WOULD NOT be eaten.
You can find all kinds of articles for it. It’s legit a toxin BURNING YOUR MOUTH!!!! and causing heat flash. Sweating and other affects meant for the toxin to deter you. That’s why you face gets warm and your tongue burns and you sweat! ITS NOT NATURAL! yet some people decided “oh I like this imma eat it” and some poeple going so far as eating it every day ruining their taste buds for spice and needing to raise up the heat until they can no longer taste heat. It becomes an unhealthy competition to who can eat the hottest food which isnt good for the gut. Yes heat clears out the system but too much of it can BURN especially when you need to use the bathroom which is a clear sign that it’s not good
All in all I hate hate hate hate hate spicey food which is why I refuse to eat anything spice
Oh, you think spicy food is bad, just wait til you see the gargantuan amount of hoops we need to jump through just to eat chocolate, lol. There's a reason it's toxic to everything but us. Humans have always been determined to eat stuff we aren't supposed to, so eating spicy foods is pretty much par for the course.I got one that I forgot about for a while.

if nothing else, humanity thrives on innovating ways to eat what we're probably not supposed to eat. there are so many plants that aren't remotely edible, or even outright deadly, unless you follow a long list of steps in precise order. some of them are pretty common, even! it's greatOh, you think spicy food is bad, just wait til you see the gargantuan amount of hoops we need to jump through just to eat chocolate, lol.

I may not know much but I’m curious to know if you have anything on space ships?I have to be in the mood, but I could kill to have a buddy who I could talk about speculative engineering to for hours and hours. Of fairly diverse types... My two favorites probably being speculative bioengineering and armed fighting vehicles. I have so many ideas, years ago I used to talk my parents heads off for hours about the intricacies of tank and armored car and warship designs.
And by not much i mean I know very littleI may not know much but I’m curious to know if you have anything on space ships?
I know... I would like to say an above average amount about spaceships, but not like, an overwhelmingly huge amount. Space physics are, well, complicated and while I understand alot of things in principle, I dont have the math brain to actually evaluate astrophysics practically. I will say though that I do know enough about how astrophysics works to know when other people have it completely wrong. Tons of people seem to have very odd conceptions of how space travel, and especially relativistic travel, works.I may not know much but I’m curious to know if you have anything on space ships?
What subject do you love so much that, if given the chance, you would infodump to anyone who will listen?
For me, I could talk about space, sharks, and literature tropes for a long, long time. Did you know greenland sharks can live for hundreds of years? Did you know that, if you were to get near enough to a black hole, you would undergo what scientists call "spaghettification", in which the gravitational pull becomes so strong that your body is stretched more and more until you are simply a string of protons and neutrons? Edgar Allen Poe's The Black Cat is a wonderful example of the unreliable narrator, and also the "hang yourself on your own gallows" trope.
Did you know there’s a fungi called “dead man’s fingers”? Because it looks like fingers rising off of where everPlants in general, ways to garden, etc. especially regarding hydroponics!! They're so cool and I love talking about them.
