r/AskReddit u/zakkalaska 1 NSFW What are some facts about humans that make us sound bad ass? Discussion 14.0k 6.0k T,Share -SINGLE COMMENT THREAD VIEW ALL azazelcrowley x3 20h We are the only superpredator known to exist. Our best friends are apex predators we allow to live in our homes and treat like children, and we are sufficiently skilled at predation that we have allowed them to give up hunting for survival We accidentally killed enough of the biomass on the planet that we are now in the Anthropocene era, an era of earths history that marks post-humanity in geological terms. We are an extinction event significant enough that we will be measurable in millions of years even if we all died tomorrow We are the only creature known that engages in group play fighting. Other animals play fight, but not in teams. This allowed us to develop tactics, strategy, and so on, and was instrumental in hunting and eventually war. We are sufficiently deadly that in order for something to pose a credible threat to us, we have to make it up and give it powers that don't exist in reality. And even then, most of the time, we still win (Perspective of animals.) "They can kill at a distance. They can control fire. They can camouflage themselves. They can mimic our noises They can track you, can chase you for days until you drop down dead, can sometimes survive lethal doses of poison to come back again later. They have warped, hyperintelligent, fanatically loyal, physically deformed versions of us as their battle thralls, and often those thralls harbor an intense hatred of their original species. They move around in metal beasts that can crush you without slowing down, and if one of us happens to somehow kill one of them anyway? That's when the rest get real interested

And yet, we are the only species that can be scared shitless of mundane and/or abstract things like darkness, heights, small needles, holes, water, social interactions, lack of social interactions, ghosts, hell, animals we are 100 times bigger towards and any combination of these and more.

Capsaicin is a compound in plants that activates similar pain receptors to the venoms of certain tarantula species, and acts as both a natural fungicide and burning deterrent to would-be herbivores.

To us, capsaicin is just what makes spicy food deliciously painful.
