I was cutting peppers the other day and this weird baby pepper was sitting inside of one. So I dug it out of its nest of seeds and it's been sitting in my room since Monday. It's already decaying but I want to keep track of progress for it. Is there anything I can do to prolong its inevitable death? Like maybe leave it out in the sun or feed it water?

uh... i dunno.
is the pepper split open? if it is, that's not a good sign.

anyway:
you might be able to preserve the pepper for awhile if you half-submerge the pepper in a solution of 1 part alcohol to 9 parts of water, and then taking it out after 30 minutes, maybe a lot less if the pepper increases noticeably in size (osmosis). alcohol is included in the solution because it is a preservative and disinfectant. but be careful, too much alcohol can kill plants. also do this "watering" procedure daily to keep the pepper healthy.
you should refer to this page for specifics on the types of alcohol to use and their concentrations:
https://www.ehow.co.uk/info_8006187_effect-alcohol-plants.html

the pepper has a skin, which obviously contains a reddish pigment. and plants react to light through pigments such as chlorophyll, so exposing the pepper to daily sunlight might be helpful in prolonging its lifespan.

if it starts to decay noticeably, you can put the pepper in the freezer or the refrigerator to prolong it's lifespan. however, if you decide on freezing the pepper below 32 deg F or 0 C, make sure to half-submerge the pepper in a solution of only alcohol for 1-2 hours the day before you actually put the pepper in the freezer. you might kill the pepper by giving it alcohol this way, but without alcohol as antifreeze, you may kill the pepper. as ice crystals will quickly form inside many of the cells of the pepper, which will cause many of those cells to stretch like a balloon before bursting.
also make sure that the pepper is dry and of normal size when you put it in the freezer, for these reasons.

actually, now that i think about it, just putting the pepper inside the refrigerator might be the safest option. the pepper will die a hastier death this way, though.

So here's a pepper update (#1):
Since it's been living in my room, the pepper has shriveled and died. I had not fed it water or any light (my room is dark most of the time), and it's been sitting in a container.

I found these two chubby-mini green peppers inside of one red pepper. I'm going to keep >>2-san's information in mind and try to keep these alive longer

Pepper progress report:
I think these peppers are making me sick. Could these rotten peppers be spreading toxic spores? I've been feeling ill for the past couple of days now.

You are better off just throwing them away by now.

you should check to see if the peppers have a moldy smell. a safe way of doing this is to gently fan some of the peppers' aroma towards your nose while trying not to breathe in the aroma. if the peppers smell like mold while doing this, you should probably throw them away like >>8 suggested.
but if it doesn't, play it safe. put the peppers away somewhere dry and air out your room. then wait a few days until you feel better.

They have been sealed tight for days since this post. I have not even checked progress on them. I will probably post an update tomorrow in the afternoon
