if we anthropomorphized plants they would be flabbergasted by humans
plants developed capsaicin to set the mouths of mammals eating it on fire as punishment
it seems like a foolproof devastating repellant. the plant must be proud
but no
one mammal, humans, *like* the mouth fire
crazier, this was not detrimental to the plant, but rewarding. humans began cultivating it. even *increasing* the burn
you poison us. you cause us pain
we love you for it. and ask for more

@benroyce Mostly. Then there’s cactus. And the plants with urushiol. There are some we can work with, but they’re metal af.
