Alien: Today in my “Human Studies” book, I’m reading about human foods.
Human: Ooh, cool.
Alien: But I’m not sure this is accurate. It says here that humans purposely ingest a plant high in a pain-causing chemical,
capsaicin.
Human: Oh, peppers? Yeah. Spicy.
Alien: But why would you want to eat something that causes you pain?
Human: Some people like the burn. I think it causes the same sort of reaction as drinking alcohol…?
Alien: That activity doesn’t make sense to me either. Can we discuss it after?
Human: Sure.
Alien: So, these “peppers.” Do you enjoy eating them?
Human: Me? Well, not by themselves. But I do like somewhat spicy foods. My brother, though, he likes them much hotter. He’s eaten some really spicy peppers, even ate a ghost pepper by itself.
Alien: Ghost pepper.
Human: Yeah, it’s the spiciest natural pepper. His face got pretty red, and he got the hiccups.
Alien: That… doesn’t sound like a healthy reaction.
Human: It just means that it’s a really spicy pepper. I mean, if I ate one of those, it might kill me, but he was fine.
Alien. Why would it kill you?
Human: Too spicy. You have to have a tolerance for
capsaicin
or it can literally kill you. And the ghost pepper is so hot that to handle it, you gotta wear gloves.
Alien: Your planet has plants that can KILL people, and which you can’t handle directly, and your brother ATE ONE, by ITSELF??
Human: Yeah.
Alien: …
Human: He says that when he gets desensitized to ghost pepper, he wants a Carolina Reaper.
Alien: I’m almost afraid to ask.
Human: …
Alien: What’s a Carolina Reaper?
Human: A pepper scientifically engineered for spiciness. It’s currently the world’s hottest pepper.
Alien: *stares at human in disbelief*
Alien: *stares at human studies book*
Alien: *stares at human again*
Alien: *whispers to self* How… how are humans real?
When my friend was a kid she used put on high heels and practice running around and jumping off stuff because Catwoman could do it. Now she can practically sprint in stilettos. Like…I’ve seen her chase after animals and run up hills and climb shit with 0% hindrance, and I will forever and always admire the hell out of her for it because when asked to choose between practicality and fashion she literally just chose “no be Catwoman” instead, and for some reason that actually worked.
This is why I was 100% not bothered by Bryce Dallas Howard’s high heels in Jurassic World. That character was a woman who could absolutely wear heels through hell and back without a scuff mark. These people exist, and they walk among us. You can spot them, because they’re slightly taller.
