    I’ve heard that no matter how often you tell a kid the stove is hot and will burn them, they won’t stop trying to touch it until the pain has taught them.

      What exactly do they learn out of this? Not to eat single chips that are super spicy? I don’t get the lesson.

        Don’t do stupid shit because the Internet tells you it’s a challenge.

        The next time it may not be a chip but a tide pod. Or “crystals” made by blowing bubbles with a straw into a bucket of bleach and vinegar (the blowing makes sure that the victim takes a deep breath of the World War 1 gas warfare recreation they just mixed up).
