so smells are a thing

what are the best ones? the worst? i live right by a sewage plant and am used to it so when visitors gag and fall about i look at them all smug

my favourite smell is probably the smell of warm asphalt after rain

    when we were at edinburgh zoo we came across a box full of 'lift the lid and smell inside' things

    it was supposed to be how a koala forages for eucalyptus with its enormous weird nose

    one of them was smelly socks and it just smelled like rotten cheese

    the smell of snow can make me ecstatic

    I really enjoy picking leaves off of trees and shrubs, crushing them in my hands, and smelling the nice smells. There is some sage that grows around here that smells so nice.

    I really dislike smells in malls. I don't think I could ever step foot in a Bath and Body Works, the smell is so strong it permeates 100ft out of the store. Malls are so over the top in regards to smells.

    the star nosed mole can detect if something is edible by smelling it and immediately eat it with the fastest reaction time of any creature

  • BeastehBeasteh THAT WOULD NOT KILL DRACULARegistered User regular
    Its brain decides in the ultra short time of 8 ms if a prey is edible or not. This speed is at the limit of the speed of neurons. These moles also possess the ability to smell underwater, accomplished by exhaling air bubbles onto objects or scent trails and then inhaling the bubbles to carry scents back through the nose.

    Considering smells are such a big part of an experience, why hasn't smellovision taken off? We have the technology!

    I currently work in a hospital laundry. I think my sense of smell is 85% gone at this point.

    my favorite smell is freshbaked chocolate chip cookies. I had bodywash that smelled like that from philosophy and had to stop myself from chugging the bottle whenever I showered.

    I once spent about 14 hours in knee to waist deep sewage with no protective equipment.

    That was a smell.

    yeah the hospital will kill your sense of smell.

    this one woman had a venous ulcer that got infected, it was about the size of a silver dollar, was green, and went all the way to the bone. It smelled fantastic.

    how often would you even want to smell what you're seeing on TV

    I don't want my living room to smell like dirt, mud, sweat, gasoline, the woods, wild animals, sewage, blood, or really most other things

    like unless the characters are sitting down to a big dinner or doing laundry i wouldn't want to smell what they're doing

    Fun facts. Chemo patient piss is a terrible terrible smell, but is eclipsed by the mightiest of all hospital odors. Pus.
