…I’m actually quite thankful my anus doesn’t have taste buds.
Taste the flavor

If you can feel the heat when it comes out, doesn’t that mean we kinda… do? 🤔
Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Feeling the heat comes from your capsaicin receptors, which are fortunately distinct from taste. It’s more of a pain receptor.
SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
Because I guarantee you that it no longer tastes like pancakes.
BillyClark@piefed.social 1 month ago
On second thought, maybe I don’t want tastebuds just inside my asshole.

I never remember what I ate last night for dinner, unless I’ve had corn
Marthirial@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Or beets, which for the first 10 seconds you think you have Ebola… And then ah, yeah, the beets!

This is absolutely not true, your butthole can also taste menthol.
ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 1 month ago
Menthol is just cool spicy
SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
How many flavors of spicy are there?
Ruthalas@infosec.pub 1 month ago
And ginger.
qualia@lemmy.world 1 month ago
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.

Spicy is not a flavor, but literally a pain stimulus.
SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
Butt pain stimulus huehuehue
pno2nr@lemmy.world 1 month ago
They’re even spicier when you put the pepper directly in your ass.
TheGiantKorean@lemmy.today 1 month ago
Did you know your urethra can also taste spicy? Try sounding a Thai chili pepper!

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.
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.
Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
That compound is capsaicin.
megopie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
Not always. Black pepper contains Piperine which also effects the TRPV1 sensing protein like capsaicin, if a bit weaker. Horseradish, mustard and wasabi have Allyl isothiocyanate which affects TRPV1 but also TRPA1 which triggers pain cold and itching response, leading to coughing and tearing.
There are a fair amount of other compounds that effect the TRPV1 and plenty of other similar receptors.
DevilsJaundice@europe.pub 1 month ago
All over, you say?
megopie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
Yes, this is why pepper spray sucks even if it doesn’t get in your mouth.
Gumus@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Warming massage oil also contains capsaicin.

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

You wouldn’t want to feel some sweet diarrhea?
Xanthrax@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I see we’re having a debate about tasting shit. May I politely ask, would you like to “eat shit”?
SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
To some, hilarity.
To others, science.
To others, horror.
To… Others… Pleasure :(
I’m of the first three.
SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
Your body absorbs all good flavors except spicy. Be happy.
SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
Either that or some sick fucks of you here need to do some experimenting for all of us. For science.

So I’m scared to ask, but what do you mean your butt can taste spicy?
texture@lemmy.world 1 month ago
people who dont have a built up tolerance to hot spice just plain love talking about how their butts feel.

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 1 month 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.
rapchee@lemmy.world 1 month ago
if you eat spicy enough food, it will sting on the way out too
tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 1 month 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).
Echolynx@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
People who need to eat more fiber and spices in their diet, most likely.
JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
This is generally true for most people, but no. When you eat really spicy food, especially something that actually has hot pepper seeds in it…it may be spicy on the way out, too.
fubarx@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Tried making spicy pancakes. Would NOT recommend.
JoMiran@lemmy.ml 1 month ago
Jalapeño and bacon pancakes are a thing.

I’ve made pancakes with maple syrup and chili crisp and it was delicious! Highly recommend.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 month ago
mildly spicy okonomiyaki sounds great actually
SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I bet something like cinnamon, ginger, cloves, or mustard would work alright with pancakes.
wabafee@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Personally no thanks don’t want to start associating food I ate as poop.
nialv7@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Because spiciness is literally heat. Capsaicin, the spicy chemical, literally activates the heat receptors in your skin.

I already HATE smelling my coffee and asparagus through my pee. I would fucking hate tasting my food a 2nd time.
Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
With the power of lactose intolerance, you too can regret certain non-spicy foods! Its usually pretty immediate though
Battle_Masker@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
do you really wanna take a shit that’s hot and sticky and doughy?
kboos1@lemmy.world 1 month ago
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?

It is not meant to ward off predators though. Being eaten is the goal, thats how the seeds are scattered.

Maybe it’s just the mouth part we enjoy and the other we tolerate.

I’m also going to raise my hand here to say I only enjoy mouth spiciness
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 month ago
argument: we normally think of five flavors (salty, savory, sour, sweet, bitter) but without spicy the meal is not complete. shit, some people consider slimy a flavor and that’s fair.
flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 1 month ago
There’s also menthol and whatever compound is in Szechuan pepper.
jmill@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
The chemical is capsaicin, and it’s a neurotoxin. That’s why with repeated exposure you can start to gain resistance.
Birds are less sensitive to capsaicin, which made having it around seeds beneficial for plants. Birds eat the seeds and then spread them after flying somewhere else, but mammals are deterred from eating the seeds and they are poor vectors for spread because most mammals that eat large amounts of vegetable matter have molar teeth that aid in breaking down small seeds for digestion.
Until a certain mammal decided they liked the burn, and deliberately spread those plants further than birds ever did.
