Like say you have a strong smelling candle. Over time will it have less mass because it smells? I don't understand simple science.

If you smell a fart it's because your lungs literally have aerosolised poo poo in them.

Yes, but your nose requires such a small amount of a given compound in order to "smell" it that any loss of mass would be nearly impossible to detect. For example hydrogen sulfide is the compound in stinkbombs that makes them smell bad, which is lethal in small doses. The reason it smells so awful is because that's your nose and brain telling you "get the gently caress away from this", and it takes a miniscule amount of the stuff to trigger that perception. I'm only serious-posting on the matter because I work in a lab that focuses on human perception of smell and taste :eng101:

Tbh some of us (Pick) use this website more than others and I feel that I am unfairly subsidizing picks posting. Unless some kind of fee by post usage is enabled were basically instituting a forced welfare state of posting.

yeah but bc of phase equilibria the composition of the smelly vapour is nothing like the composition of the poop itself so this is kind of misleading. poop.

What's misleading? It was in someones butthole literally a second before and now its all in your nose and lungs and mouth.
