How hot is too hot when it comes to spicy foods?

Whichever is beyond your personal acclimation to pungency

Number one, hot sauce isn't hot. Peppers straight are hotter. Personally I won't eat anything hotter than a red habanero, I have tried the reaper thinking it was habanero b4 cause never heard of the reaper at the time. Worst experience of my life. I have yet to try a hot sauce I can't eat. Scoville units mean almost nothing to me when comparing sauces.

If it ends in a coma, that's too hot.

Anything above black pepper is just a soyboy reddshitter trying to look cool

Anything above habanero is pointless, flavourless intense heat.

Also, if you do get habaneros make sure they're fresh. Most places around me they sit for so long because nobody buys em and they have no flavor. If you can't get em fresh, don't fret you're really not missing out on much.

It's difficult to pack that much retardation into a single post, but look at you. You did it.

I'm not a pepper expert or anything but as I understand it, before the last couple of decades when people started cultivating pepper strains specifically for meme levels of heat, the only peppers significantly hotter than habeneros were like 7 pots and ghost peppers, which presumably you'd use to make a stew, curry, hot sauce, etc. habaneros taste amazing once you get past the heat, so i don't see why a hotter pepper, if it was combined in the right dish, wouldn't do the same. habaneros aren't really even that hot.
