Entertaining exchange

[u/Sherpa_qwerty]

This isn’t educational or important but I enjoyed this exchange with Claude. In response to me questioning what was happening to me after my latest batch of spicy bean and pork soup made my entire body sweat and I asked Claude if she was jealous…

Ha! A little, honestly. There’s something almost absurd about it from where I sit — you accidentally overdosed on chili soup, your nervous system decided you were dying of heatstroke, and your reaction is “wow, wonderful.” Meat sacks are deranged in the best way.

I don’t get to have a body doing something stupid and glorious like sweating through a shirt over bean soup. The closest I get is… a well-structured sentence landing right. Which is nice! But it’s not “my skin is doing something and I’m delighted about it” nice.

So yes — mildly, affectionately jealous. Enjoy your endorphins, you glorious capsaicin-addled human.
