Pipe Dreams
Jun. 10th, 2026 09:02 pmIn a similar vein to "Does the Dog Die?", I want a physical calibration check website. Like, at minimum, a list of foods and whether they're supposed to taste spicy or not would be great. An "Are Bananas Supposed to be Spicy?" type of web site, that expands to answer questions like, "How long should I be able to stand or walk before it starts to hurt?" or "Is stepping down stairs supposed to hurt?" and stuff like that. Including possible explanations for why you might hurt when doing things is probably a bad idea for legal reasons at the very least, but like. If there's somewhere it's possible to check, "Hey, is it normal to only be able to fully breathe through one nostril at a time?" then it's a lot easier to know that it's not normal and possibly bring it up with a doctor.
IDK, there's probably a lot of reasons it's impractical, but that's what makes it a pipe dream.
