Tomato spotted wilt virus? Can Google “TSWV in peppers.” Doesn’t seem to always result in such perfect patterns, though
Edit: not super confident in this answer 😂

That sure looks suspicious. Maybe the pepper gnome snuck into the garden and did some mischief.

Looks like a tentacle pattern, like maybe it was burned in. So, I’m guessing you have a kraken hiding somewhere …possibly Cthulu.

That’s a 25 year old strain of the Gen X Pepper. Those are crappy tribal tattoos on the skin. Playing it Limp Bizkit and Nickel back will have it mature slower. And you’ll find they’re most comfortable growing or not growing in your parents basement. Place it in front of a tv that plays MTV cribs if it appears lonely. Don’t let it watch monday night raw after midnight. Will fruit faster in the presence of Daisy Fuentes. The other side of the pepper most likely has the markings of a sun smoking a joint, with sunglasses on.

It’s the time of year for those lovely huge fucking Hornworms.
I wonder if it tried to eat it then decided otherwise a few times when its face started burning🤷🏻♂️😂
Maybe the other marks are from secretions from it that burned the pepper under the sun?🤷🏻♂️
Figured I’d take a shot at a hypothetical since it seems everyone else just has jokes.

If this is indeed viral it might 1) be scientifically significant enough to report to a large nearby university, in case there’s concern it could spread, and 2) you may need to destroy everything in the garden and somehow sterilize it in order to be able to ever grow peppers successfully in this area.
I’m absolutely not an expert, just someone that thinks plant viruses are neat, but if you’re interested in trying to track this down more concretely DM me and I can tell you how you can get that ball rolling.
FYI, u/showyourselfsomelove, I think your inclination that it’s viral is correct.

Definitely a viral infection of some kind. You should cull the plant and dispose of it in the garbage (don’t compost it) to help prevent spreading it.

Corking with sun scalding? This is so interesting
In case you want a real answer, I think it’s Watermelon Ringspot Virus, which has been [documented on Capsicum annum](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4758315/).
If this pattern truly isn’t someone making squiggly shapes on your peppers, I strongly suspect it’s viral, and [it’s superficially very similar to WRV](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6c/Watermelon_mosaic_virus_ringspots_on_watermelon.jpg).
If this is indeed viral it might 1) be scientifically significant enough to report to a large nearby university, in case there’s concern it could spread, and 2) you may need to destroy everything in the garden and somehow sterilize it in order to be able to ever grow peppers successfully in this area.
