Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

while i agree some of the challenges are dumb, this challenge is literally just "eat one spicy chip and dont drink water afterwards" i have to imagine that if the chip did kill him, he mustve been allergic or something. ive eaten a whole bag of Paqui chips before no problem.
The bag of Paqui chips are nothing like the single chip that is eaten during the challenge. It is a single chip that comes in its own package for like $10. It is drenched in reaper pepper powder and is literally thousands of times hotter than the bag of chips when measured on the Scoville scale. I've done it a few times and it puts grown men on the floor.
What about eating extremely spicy foods is appealing to you? Like to the point where you don't enjoy the flavor it's just pain you are going for
Just to see if I could do it.
As someone who enjoys spice sometimes it is a good pain. Also if you cook with a reaper well it has a really nice flavour.
Heres my hot take (pun intended): 7 pot pepper is a better flavor and it feels intensely hot.
Ok, but why?
Just like to challenge myself.
Because I can.
"because it is there"
Hillary, right?
Mallory. Take from that what you will.
You can jump off a 20-story building too, but I don't know why you would do either.
Yeah but only once. Unlike the one chip challenge that I have done a few times.
I think this is one of the those things that you instantly understand or never understand it.
On an empty stomach something like that can cause major issues in the stomach/intestines
did not realize this was a special singular chip my bad.
The chip even comes in its own coffin 💀
Even if this isn't the most dangerous of challenges it's still incredibly pointless and uninspired. Are there any that aren't?
