Ah, I see.
So, it turns out that while our cells react to Capascin in such a way that it causes burning pain,
birds' receptors just aren't shaped the same way, and the capscin doesn't react
.
Which means that they don't experience the damage or burning pain, and thus readily eat the spiciest of peppers and disperse their seeds, which stay intact because they don't grind the seeds up by chewing on them.

According to
one of our pages, farm-raised Fugu dishes are finished off with a very light dusting of the toxin, to get that mouth-numbing experience.

Now I can add that to the length of a horse's gestational period, the mechanics of lesbian sex and the existence of
Cupcakes as things I did
not expect to learn from the fans of this show.

@Count: Must've missed those conversations, though I'm in no sense of the word 'clean', as Legend put it. =D

The second one is especially worrying since the fanfic in question started with a sweet and innocent Twi-Shy and then had an Appledash pairing containing dirty jokes about "apple pie".
And then Fluttershy developed multiple personalities, and Pinkie had a dream containing
Charlie The Unicorn.
I think it hit
Writing by the Seat of Your Pants several weeks ago.

As noted, it wasn't in this thread, it was on fimfiction.

I think most of it's trolling. Kind of like the reason people write them in the first place.

i like Cupcakes, but in an ironic way
There are more disturbing fanfics than cupcakes and rainbow factory out there... *shudder*

Cookoo: Humanity regularly consumes alcohol, which IIRC, qualifies as a poison and people take shots of that. Not to mention tobacco or "recreational" drugs.

Actually, when compared to humans, Pinkie Pie can pass off as utterly SANE.....
