Imagine running downstairs excitedly not knowing that any of this is there. You trip on a thousand little bottles crashing down the stairs, getting cut, scraped and basically opened up everywhere by broken glass and every opening getting filled with Carolina Reaper, Jamaican, Thai Chili, Texas barbecue and Louisiana Gumbo hot sauce. You smash your face on a bottle of Mama's Concentrated Habanero sauce, you're in so much pain and get ready to scream as a combination of Hank's Red Hot and Amanda's Hellfire go pouring into your mouth and nose. You can't see because a bottle of Mexican Tabasco broke on your forehead and now the mixture of your own blood and thick red sauce is slowly pouring into your eyes.

You breathe in once, scream and then pass out drowning in hot sauce, as your lifeless body goes sliding down the rest of the stairwell.

I would rest easy knowing I destroyed this assholes hot sauce collection.

Hot stuff dies a cold death

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 56 points 1 day ago

The stairwell turns into one of those rescuer death traps like monoxide filled ground tanks.

An EMT runs in, screams when the wall of pain hits his lungs. No sound escaping his lungs as he drops unconcious from shock.

Not responsing, the emergency services send in more EMTs, all of them getting instantly deliciously marinated in the fumes of hell incarnate with a hint of garlic and mango

Eddie Murphy’s set about falling down the stairs remade by Michael Bay.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 104 points 1 day ago (5 children)

And most of these would taste the same. Cheap and tasting strongly of vinegar.

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

The funniest part is franks redhot ends up being better because it's designed to be cheap and vinegary anyway lol.

Not a big fan of smokey sauces either where it feels like they just mixed in liquid smoke and some chili powder.

[–] zod000@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 day ago

Accurate. I love hot sauces, but I have had to tell friends and family to never buy me hot sauce because chances are it will suck or be samey. Especially those gift packs they push around the holidays.

[–] nickhammes@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fewer than you think, I'd bet.

This person clearly likes hot sauce, and buys a lot of it. Maybe they just buy literally everything, but maybe they're more selective. I'd bet some of them are fermented, and some are lighter on the vinegar taste, even if they water it down a bit to focus on the pepper flavor. It isn't that hard to make even a cheap sauce not taste too overwhelmingly of vinegar

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This guy ain't selective.

Look at his selection.

[–] odium@programming.dev 9 points 1 day ago

I can't. Too blurry to read any labels and I don't consume enough hot sauce to know what it is by looking at the shape of the bottle/color of the label.

[–] Th3D3k0y@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I used to keep a collection, until I found ones I liked. Now I have about 8 different types that are best for different foods.

Some are definitely cheap and vinegar (which go great on fried chicken), some are earthy and barely sour for soups.

Overall though, few sauces that aren't gigantic commercial varieties taste similar. Even Frank's, crystals, Texas Pete and Louisiana all have distinct flavors

[–] Good_morning@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 day ago

Exactly this! I keep a handful of different sauces for different foods, and I started making my own to fill in the gaps.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 10 points 1 day ago

And I would eat them all.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 day ago

Pretty much everything there is expired Some of those are so bad, it might have improved them.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Those bottles on the right are getting pushed to the side.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)
  1. Climb up somehow.

  2. Get a broom.

  3. Empty the staircase.

  1. Get a broom
  2. Empty the staircase
  3. Climb up easily by using the now empty stairs
[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That would be the order if he was coming from the top. From the bottom, as photographed, this is a bit more of a problem.

Hands can work as brooms in a pinch.

I am used to brooms by the building entrance for use by any tenant. I would never use a broom indoors so i am not liekly to have a broom in my appartment unless i have a big balcony. So for me at least the opposite is true 🫠

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 59 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Honestly if I seen that after a long day at work, I'm walking through it.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

"...Kid I'm gonna go back outside and give you exactly 2 minutes to make me a path... "

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

He can slide up the rail which is also a good workout. Anons are fat and have pimples and the workout will help with one of these things.

[–] todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 12 points 1 day ago

Me, who needs to walk down these stairs.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 54 points 2 days ago

Neighbors cat gets spooked by its own shadow, runs out the door, down the stairs, tripping over all the bottles, causing the house and neighborhood to be pepper sprayed by the breath of satan

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you're going to be stupid, be smart about it. Only the right side should be used. Use caution cones. Idk. Or just don't do it.

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you’re going to be stupid, be smart about it.

If only t'wer so simple.

In my walkup? Wtf is a walkup?

[–] Frog@lemmy.ca 64 points 2 days ago (4 children)

An apartment complex with stairs and without an elevator.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is it more common in some areas vs others? I've never heard the term used in real life, but I understood it from context.

[–] Frog@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't know but I am from NYC. I only heard the term used there.

Makes sense. I haven't seen an apartment with an elevator in quite a while, so perhaps the distinction just doesn't matter here. Most apartment complexes here are 3 floors or less, and I think there's a cap at 5 floors or something for regular construction because the only ones bigger than that are the massive towers downtown.

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago

Ah, thank you

Kid's got issues.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 30 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why does one have a collection of hot sauce? I can deal with the concept of a collection of hot sauce BOTTLES.

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 17 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Y'all dont have condiments in your house?

This guy found one he likes and just kept going. The endorphin kick from just bollocking yourself with some demon spice is probably a big part of it.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well yes but how much condiment can he use? Can he even use all of it before ot goes bad? And does he even use them? Because using them means he'll run out eventually, making his collection incomplete.

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Most hot sauce is mainly vinegar. It doesnt really have a shelf life, but if so, it's years and years.

Im betting that no, whoever has got the staircase full isn't going to use them all, but they will use some. At that stage, it's a collector enjoying collecting a foodstuff. They will enjoy a bit of them all, then enjoy seeing them and maybe the memories, like most collectors.

Works for me, as long as he keeps them off the communal fucking stairs.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I suppose I don't understand the general concept of collecting things just for the hell of it, especially food. That's on me, thank you for being patient.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I fully agree with you, and I have like 20 hot sauces. But I use them all!

All that and no Reggae Reggae sauce?

bottle rolls down the stairs test.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

They should have left a path on the left side as you go up. Reason being it's easier to balance going up than going down, and the majority of the population has a stronger right hand to grip the rail. Personally I'd ask them to clear a path, because they might just have been stupid and jump to it, but if they don't I'd go shove a few out of the way on the bottom step with my foot, giving them time to change their mind before I continue on up, leaving bottles rolling down in my wake.
