In Cambodia we have these "bird's eye chilis" [1] and they're included in many dishes. How do these compare to some of the other chili peppers and sauces discussed here? I do have a high tolerance for heat (it's no problem to eat 20-30 of these in a dish, or eat them raw) but I'm not sure I could characterize their taste in any meaningful way.

Thankfully a wikipedia editor has categorised the various articles based on the scale mentioned in the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoville_scale#Capsicum_pepper...

ie. bird's eye chilis 100,000–225,000 SHU vs ghost pepper 1,041,427 SHU


This made it to the front page of HN a couple months back, but it's worth posting again:

It says I'm disconnected after a couple seconds too. Also, like most browser games, it manages to rev up the fan on my fairly modern laptop almost immediately.
