    I am saying that there exists nearly no one who is eating lots of spicy food and then complaining about it later, unaware why their stomach hurts. You are aware that 1) most people don’t complain about that stuff except maybe to those very close them and 2) they fucking know what causes it.

    Mainly, it was oddly specific and you sound mad… About spicy food? And no, that’s not a simile either way, to my recollection, not that it really matters

      It’s a hypothetical mate, using a simile and then explaining the logic behind it. It’s intentionally done to highlight how nonsensical of a position it is. You’re focusing on the wrong thing and missing the point.

      Using hot sauce analogy/simile/metaphor/whatever was for rhetorical purpose. I could have made any number of comparisons, that’s just the one I choose.

      Idk how I sound mad. That’s just your interpretation. Inducing tone from text isn’t the most precise thing. Only “angry” part I assume is the end but that was just poking fun at the expense of people like Alex Jones and his whole “turn the frogs gay” meme.

        I mean, you’re starting with the idea that there are many people too stupid to know how spicy foods affect them. If that wasn’t the premise or didn’t sound judgy I wouldn’t have said anything
