How spicy do you like your food?

I have made and quite enjoyed habanero poppers. Stuff beyond that will make me cry/sweat, but I still really enjoy it.
I like spicy food but I'm pretty over the whole pissing contest stage of spice love. I got nothin to prove
Voted 6 because I don't enjoy novelty hot sauces that are basically pepper spray. But otherwise, I usually order the hottest option in restaurants, and I buy good hot sauces.
It depends on what type of food, but I usually get things around a 4 to 5 if I have the option. If it's wings or something like that I'll go as hot as they have it (Unless there's a waiver I have to sign).
I really love spicy food but I've gotten to an age where spicy food no longer loves me. I tone it way down now.
Recently, while trying to lather condiments on to chicken breasts to prepare it for cooking them in slow cooker, I accidentally opened the wrong side of the Cayenne pepper powder jar (the one where you insert a spoon instead of the perforated side) and turned it upside down on the said raw chicken. After the initial shock of how much powder had landed, I decided to cook with it instead of wasting the portion of the powder.
For the next week neither my tongue nor my asshole were happy campers.
So I like it 3 to 4 on that scale.

I carry Carolina reaper flakes with me, since no restaurants in my area know how to make food spicy enough.
lmao, I wondered this, too.
If it is, then I'm probably like an 8. If not, then I'm probably only like a 5, lol.
I like spicy food to be pretty spicy, but not so spicy that I can't even taste the rest of the flavor anymore.
Basically this.
I'm so vanilla. Anything over what I see as a 3 but will destroy my insides. And the worst thing is that I like stuff as spicy as I can handle, so every now and then I destroy my insides, willingly.
And this makes me think everyone used to a different scale would laugh at me. Food from Spain is not usually spicy, so I guess we have the same Western white spiciness scale.

Depends on the cuisine and purpose. Stuff that's supposed to be spicy like Sichuan or Indian I enjoy as long as the flavor is well balanced and we're dealing with natural peppers or chili oils.
Hot sauces and varieties of peppers that exist only for the sake of dick measuring and Youtube clicks are a hard pass for me.

Amazon, though I bought a couple pounds before the price shot up. I had to buy some scorpion pepper powder as a replacement, since I'm running low, and it was much cheaper.
Jalapeño-habanero is about the level I prefer for most stuff. I can tolerate up to ghost pepper level, but it's a bit much.
My bestie, on the other hand, breathes fire and can make carolina reaper her bitch. Don't know how she does it.

Oh, and while I get destroyed by spicy food, my brother grows his own stupid spicy peppers and tries to kill me with them every now and then when I eat at his place.
Fuck his Naga Vipers, his Ghost Peppers, and I hope there's a particular place in hell for whoever grew Carolina Reapers for the first time so my brother could fuck me up with them over and over through my life.

I want to hurt.
Unfortunately I've developed enough of an immunity that pretty much all easy to get spicy food does nothing for me. I miss the days when I found regular old hot sauce to be spicy. Sometimes I'll go months without spicy food to try to lower my resistance. It doesn't really work that well.

Kinda depends on the cuisine. There's a Thai place around the corner that I like a lot. Their "medium" is pretty damned hot, but I like it. Basically, I have a big glass of water on hand and wind up drinking it all. But sometimes when they got a bit spicier than that, it gets to where you can't taste the other flavors in the curry, which sucks because their curry is really good.
My co-worker is from China though and he always gets it "Thai hot", and holy holy shit. They're not playing around. I've tried a bit now and then, and I think I could down a bowl, but it would be nothing except the chemical burn sensation. All the layers of seasoning and coconut etc is totally undetectable when it gets to that point.
I want spicy, but I want good flavors, too.
