Humans are largely human because we are terrible "one-trial learners." We twist the tiger's tail until it turns on us. We don't learn. We come back to twist the tiger's tail some more.

Twist the tigers tale 10 times and get bitten.

Most creatures: don't twist the tigers tail.

Us: ...what about 9 twists...?

Speak for yourself. I never twisted any tiger's tail but neither do I judge you for your kink

That's not the only toxic thing humans eat, drink or smoke. Chocolate, coffee, alcohol and probably many more.

Sorry, spicy food / capsaicin is toxic?

[–] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

For pets it is. A bunch of spices are toxic for dogs and cats.
