I saw a video saying that this was so that birds would eat instead of mammals. Something about spreading out further.
Yep!
Only mammals have the nerve receptors to feel the heat.
Herbivores grind the seeds up. Plants don’t want that.
Birds, who can’t sense the heat, happily eat the pods and poop the seeds everywhere.
Fuck
And yet, it is a much more common plant now, whose offspring comes in many new forms. It has gained the care and protection by a mammal.
Joke’s on us. We’re being farmed by capsicum.
