"A source of confusion is that 'citron' in French and English are false friends, as the French word 'citron' refers to what in English is a lemon; whereas the French word for the citron is 'cédrat'.
...
Other languages that use variants of citron to refer to the lemon include Armenian, Czech, Dutch, Finnish, German, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Hungarian, Esperanto, Polish and the Scandinavian languages.[citation needed]"
I find that really interesting - and can't relate to it at all. I suppose if what I do counts as sensory seeking it goes in the opposite direction (I mean porn) but pain is definitely a pure negative for me that I do my best to avoid.
I think there might be something to the endorphin theory (and my apparent lack thereof)
I'm actually curious if you mean that literally - in another thread we came up with a theory that enjoying stuff like BDSM, etc and enjoying spicy food could actually be linked by how sensitive someone is to endorphins.
I'm likely not at all sensitive to them, so for me pain just doesn't lead to pleasure (besides trivial things like scratching an itch)
I mean the actual text that was LLM generated was deleted. The header had been left mentioning it as a joke. Note the discussion section:

I like this theory, I wonder if liking spicy food is often correlated with enjoying activities like BDSM and tattoos and such.
I could just have roughly no response to endorphins - I know pain killers such as oxycodone do basically nothing for me (to the point that I don't bother taking them when prescribed)
That would kinda explain a few things now that I think about it... Very interesting.
Exactly. That's why I think the only useful definitions of free will are those that are weak enough to distinguish between the animal and the rock in a situation like that.
Is there a link to an article or something? I'm just seeing a picture and a few paragraphs of text in my client
