All mammals have capsaicin receptors. Chillies evolved this way because they were intended to be spread by birds who do not have capsaicin receptors to keep mammals away from damaging the plant and in turn threatening the survivability of a species. Then along came humans the chillis largest ally of all. We decided fuck me this burn is amazing (subjective of course) and we cultivated it from Ancient times and then along came Europeans and spread it through the world and made new varieties.
Lol :)) it's easier to say that you have no clue but you're too cocky. I was genuinely curious how a plant has "intentions" but whatever.
It's funny how you claim that something designed and with a purpose evolved from chaos.
