Now I kind of want to know what that tastes like. Like a big part of what we consider “spicy” is that it triggers the “very hot” sensors in our mouth without triggering the “warm” sensors that are usually triggered with it, so you end up with a combination that’s usually impossible. Mint+ chilli powder would be like the next level of that, triggering both hot and cold at the same time
I mean, it does, but only for a very little while. After a few decades, the cooling effect of a nuclear winter would be gone, while global warming will only cool down naturally over thousands of years. Either way, humans would be fucked, since nuclear winter cools the Earth by up to 8 degrees - that’s an ice age. So nuclear winter would actually make things a lot worse for humanity (even ignoring radiation and destruction), since the few survivors of the global ice age would have to face global warming next.
Whenever I hear people saying this, I always think of that guy who put chili powder and mint into his mouth at the same time.
Yes, it sounds like it should cancel out. No, in reality it definitely doesn’t.
the world is just gonna be spicy at that point, lmao
