  • While I’m sure there’s some level of quality to the ranking of a 1 year old ranking organization, these ranks are almost always completely useless in the face of reality because of the sample size and criteria.

    JFK Airport patted itself on the back for earning the “best airport in America” award which anyone can tell you walking through JFK is like a ghetto warzone.

    Similarly the game awards or the oscars choose many of their winners based on connections, sponsors, or market pressures. And many don’t even get nominated.








  • It’s been downloaded over 20 billion times. It supports 25+ protocols. It’s in cars, refrigerators, TV sets, routers, printers, phones, and every goddamn server on the planet.

    Everything except my random podman container I need to test something on, but for some reason will have wget lmao.

    Also a good time to mention you can use Ctrl+x Ctrl+e to edit your multi line commands in your default terminal editor so you can keep a clean, line separated command which is easy to read and follow.

    It was high for the era, not anymore compared to current meme breeds though lol. Relatively though it still is quite strong. I’d probably say it’s the 2nd or 3rd hottest pepper used fresh and not dried for powder.

    tbf Thais like to use bucketfulls of it which adds up compared to their western neighbors who use the slightly less potent early harvested green and in lower quantitities.

    Also for some reason, a lot of sources erroneously put it super under Habenro peppers which I can tell you first hand is not true. They can easily hit 400k on the scoville scale, but there’s too many similar varieties which are much less potent but still get labelled as Thai chillies because of the shape.

    The funny thing about South Asia is that they had like 200 unique spices already but they didn’t get capsaicin spices (peppers) until the portuguese brought it from the Americas via trade, and then South Asians immediately slurped it up and bred a ton of varieties as if the 200 wasn’t enough.

    And they went max power too which is how we got Thai bird eye chillis lol.
