   Nine hours ago, due to a series of events I don’t wish to recount, I ate an entire Carolina reaper.

   I now know that nine hours is how long it takes to transit my digestive tract.

   I desire euthanasia.

     What's a Carolina reaper?

     @holsta Team bidet shower here. Blasting with cold water very satisfying (or what passes for cold water in the Algarve in August)

     @goatsarah Oh no. If I had known hours ago I would have advised to put a few toilet rolls in the fridge.

     I think in Western culture, this act of meditation and suffering makes you equivalent to a Sōhei or Shaolin Monk...

     Did you acquire any cosmic knowledge or truths while your soft membranes were being turned inside out?

     @KCDOZ No, but I acquired quite a lot of milk and gaviscon.

     I've been torturing myself for decades. But a big glass of milk isn't a great deterrent to heat overload. Something with milk fat coupled with citric acid helps the most. Like plain whole yogurt with lime or lemon juice squeezed into it. Citric acid breaks up the capsaicin oils bonded to your mouth and throat, milk fat coats and sooths a bit. But just pounding milk puts a big strain on your digestive system, which makes Act 2 & 3 a lot worse than they have to be.

     @KCDOZ It's lactose free, which helps a lot.
