Capsaicin isn’t a spice*. It’s not even a flavonoid. That is to say, it doesn’t trigger or act against the taste receptors in your tongue.
What the stuff does is trigger the heat receptors in your mouth (and skin and everywhere else you have heat receptors.) causing your body to feel like it’s burning.
“Spiciness” is what happens when your flavor receptors get overloaded. If you want to experience it, go get fresh garlic and chew a raw whole clove. (Do NOT swallow. And be prepared for massive indigestion. Raw garlic is not to be trifled with.) or maybe take the cinnamon challenge (spoonful, hold it in your mouth. Do not swallow,)
In any case capsaicin itself causes happy-hormones to be released, as a result of the sensation of being burned through. (The sensation also causes increased heart rate and that can get excessive, too.)(the people that like super-hot peppers are masochists.)
(*Spices are technically parts of plants used for flavor that generally aren’t the leaves. So the pepper itself can be a spice, don’t get me wrong. Most are quite fruity. The vast majority of people are not using hot peppers for that fruitiness, though.)

Amendments to the constitution are part of the constitution. saying it “includes the constitution” and then omitting it, its fair to say it omits things. Yeah, it’s a bit clickbaity but it’s not wrong.
I’m more curious about what got omitted from the bible, heh.
Considering they fucked up an incredibly high capacity sorting center because no one thought to ask if the one-lane road feeding the facility could handle the traffic….
Even if Biden does (and he won’t because there’s some sort of moral high ground or something,)
The people that need to hear it won’t. They only watch conservative outlets and will only get the 3-syllable-gotchas of Trump mocking Biden and call it a “win”.
I have many conversations with people about Large Language Models like ChatGPT and Copilot. The idea that “it makes convincing sentences, but it doesn’t know what it’s talking about” is a difficult concept to convey or wrap your head around. Because the sentences are so convincing....
It’s trained on an immense amount of data and that 89% of the time when someone asks the phrase “what is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, everything?” It’s “42”, with an explanation that it’s a reference to Douglas Adam’s Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
So, when you ask that… it just replies 42, and gives a mash up of informstion mostly consistent with the pop culture reference.
It has no idea what “42” is, whether it’s a real question or real answer, or entirely a joke. Only that’s how people in its training data responded.
(In this example, 11% of people are either idiots who’ve never read the book- losers- or people who are making some other random quip.)
