Did you know……?

that the scents/odors we smell are really just particles from those actual things?

Most of it are gases that get released from the bacteria on certain materials that are biodegradable: like foods, also other humans (the dead skin cells/ sweating etc.), and some of these particles are also scents which come from chemical reactions.

Like as with bleach, or natural particles coming in contact with certain metals.

I didn’t know this before. Until just a few days ago.

How we are essentially breathing in gasses from these items… which in some format means we’re taking in a bit of the actual object. At least directly from the bacteria on those objects. Even as with poop 🤢😵‍💫

Thoughts?

I’ve heard of this before

I’ve never heard of this or knew of this before

I heard/knew of it, but just forgot

Something else

Ever noticed we have words for sounds, ring, bang, whistle, rumble.. etc
There's words for things we see, red circle, little blue cube.. etc
There's words for touch, soft, smooth, rough, hot, cold.
Same as taste, sweet, sour, bitter...

But when it comes to smells we just say smells LIKE orange, smells LIKE bacon and so on.

lol yeah there’s truth to that: how we describe smell, but some people do describe it with a little more effort, like “that smells like citrus,” or that smells sweet.

Sometimes smells and taste correlate. I think that’s how e develop good smells and bad smells also. It’s linked to our developed association with them and that associated interaction may involve other senses which may help us confirm attributing the smells.

But for the most part, yeah, we mostly hear others say stuff like that- “smells like new shoes!” / “fresh car scent.” lol 😭😂

Yeah , every one knows that LoL
It is different thing that guys love girl's scents

[Rosexøxø]

Yeah the thing about pheromones I knew for long time. This I never knew. Particles from the actual substance/item. 🤮

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah pheromones works a lot for my friends with benefits.

[Rosexøxø]

Yes, I’ve familiarized myself with this knowledge much much before probably in my mid teens. Sadly I didn’t know about noses/sinuses and odors just as much at that time.

But cheers to your happy times ahead, with your boo. 🥂

Watched a show once where they were testing tooth brushes for fecal matter…. Now 2 researchers had their tooth brushes in the bathroom and the other two had their tooth brushes in the kitchen. When tested after several days all 4 tooth brushes checked positive for fecal matter…..
pretty scary lol

[Rosexøxø]

It’s alarming but funny how you described it 😂. Whats the conclusion or one of the possible inferences? That the two researchers who had their brushes in the kitchen brushed their teeth in the bathroom and any airborne particles of fecal matter somehow transferred onto their brushes? Or is this some kind of say on how bacteria found in feces may be found in other areas? Or was it from cross contamination with our hands somehow. I feel the researchers would try their best to practice good hygiene, not just in general, but specifically for this experiment, no?

[Rosexøxø]

Anyways thanks for sharing that. Consider me curiously disturbed 😂

[BadApple69]

So the two with the tooth brushes in the kitchen brushed their teeth in the kitchen also. The conclusion was that fecal matter gets all through the house…. The show didn’t say this but I am. Maybe from 4 guys passing gas in the house… like you said, the smell is actually small particles of what you are smelling.

Incredible 💯 🙌

[Mpodere]

It means that when we go at the toilet we are taking a bit of poop! 😅

[TadBehaya]

yeah, i knew this

[Rosexøxø]

it’s incredibly fascinating
