Taco Bell is not spicy lmao. Time to have real food.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

I don't think it's about spice. I think it's about velocity.

I'm no health food nut but I don't know how anyone can consume Taco bell. I love tacos, and all the other food types on their menu but... taco bell? I cant do it. So nasty. If I'm gunna go out for tacos, Ima swing by an authentic hole in the wall Mexican joint and have a sweet abuelita warp that magic in a golden corn tortilla for the same price and maybe 3 minutes slower than the TB drive in line.

Yup for real, if I want spicy I also go Mexican as well as Indian

[–] apocalypticat@lemmy.world 10 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Skip TB. Go support your local Mexican restaurant, and try their pickled onions with habaneros and work up your tolerance to actually spicy food.

There's a venerable French food restaurant in my town, it's been there for something like 80 years and still going strong.
In her old age back in the 1970s and 80s, the founder of the restaurant, trained in the Cordon Bleu culinary tradition, loved going to Taco Bell! Her friends used to scratch their heads and tried to understand, or talk some sense into her:
"But... that doesn't make sense! Cheddar, ground beef, lettuce and cream in tacos... it's not even real Mexican food!",
to which she replied:
"If I want Mexican food, I'll go get Mexican food. But sometimes I just want Taco Bell!", which is to say she craved some tex-mex.

I never really got this.

I'll eat taco bell and be as fine as eating anything else.

Homies just need some damn probiotics or something.

The mere presence of fiber through beans in the typical American diet causes their bowels to enter a state of celebration.

Now I do like some TB, in fact, I could eat it once a day for the rest of my life and never be sick of it.

But it is not "spicy". At all. Unless your idea of spicy is tobasco being on the upper end.

Those who have digestive problems with TB are from a weak bloodline

[–] weker01@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 hours ago

You like some Tuberculosis?!

I don't get the need to abbreviate everything. It just makes things harder to read and parse.

I don't think anyone who claims to have GI issues after eating Taco Bell claims that it's because it's spicy. Well...aside from OP maybe? I think it's just because it's low quality food that consists almost entirely of meet and cheese. That being said, I don't think I've generally had that issue either.

[–] ITGuyLevi@programming.dev 2 points 2 hours ago

I thought the ground beef was found to be like 30-40% beef and mainly whey? I vaguely have a memory of them being sued for something (maybe 10-15 years back), that coming out, then the "meat" being rebranded across the board as a material they now reference as "seasoned beef"?

[–] AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee 4 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

You mean "meat" and "cheese"

[–] TotalFat@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Could be a fondue party? Or a family photo shoot?

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 1 points 12 hours ago

"cheese food" is a food label that pretend cheese must use instead of cheese. TB may contain "meat food"

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 13 points 17 hours ago

And beans. Americans don't eat a lot of fiber.

[–] BlueLineBae@midwest.social 2 points 16 hours ago

RIP Double Decker taco 😢

[–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 7 points 17 hours ago (4 children)

The picture raises questions. If that is glowing due to heat, then something bad is happening. But maybe it is a bright light in a translucent pipe or something?

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 hours ago

For a couple of days a year the plastic flue above my boiler does this - from the sun hitting it at the perfect angle. (Source: once thought my boiler was about to blow up.)

[–] HelterSkeletor@lemmy.world 9 points 10 hours ago

Likely a cast iron pipe that has grounded an electrical current. It is in fact, "something bad".

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 12 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Looks like a bright orange light is shining from below, but I favour the impossible explanation tbh

[–] xia@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

If it were that, I would expect to see a lot of orange light spill on the ceiling, and a clear shadow of the pipe.

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 2 points 10 hours ago

Well, there is light and shadows, but you are right: they both would be much stronger, more clear.

[–] somebodysomewhere@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

Think sunset coming through a window

[–] xChronoZerox 1 points 12 hours ago

I'm going to need you to tell me what kind of pipes you think pipes are made out of....

[–] xia@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 17 hours ago

Those don't look like PVC fittings, so I am guessing it is a metal pipe. The minimal loss of light at the overlapping sections and how it fades makes me think that it is truly incandescent.

Ah, my college days.
