Smells give off mass? This would have been a great fad diet thread in YLLS!

'Goon discovers one weird trick to weight loss, coworkers hate him!'


'I'm TRYING to lose weight, MOM! I wouldn't expect you to know science' says a goon who hasn't showered in weeks, despite the intense meat sweats that develop every time he pops open a brand new bag of fatty jerky.

Please make an effort thread. I wanna read about this kinda of stuff

I don't actually know a ton about the details, I don't work in the department that has most of knowledge & research on that matter and I'm probably quitting at the end of next month so I probably won't be around to learn much more :goleft:

If I poo poo in the woods, and there's no one around to smell it, does the poo poo have any mass? Did I even poo poo at all?

a better question would be "does someone's smelliness increase with his/her mass"?
.
now, let's discuss linear and exponential correlation in this scenario

Most likely because there's more surface area to give off smell, but the surface area to body size ratio is smaller, so they get hotter and sweat more. Moreover, it's harder for a fat person to clean themselves.

Yes, because nasty poo poo gets trapped between their rolls of fat

When i was like 12 or something I read some Star Wars book that had a part that was Luke in some lovely place and the book was like "Luke could smell all this horrible animal poo poo everywhere and he knew that because he could smell it, particles of it were now in his nose" and I'm like oh thanks Star Wars book for making me realize everything I smell is in my goddamn body that's wonderful.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
Do you lose mass by giving off body heat?

Essentially you lose mass at every nanosecond you dont eat/drink/inject stuff, due to constant unstoppable degeneration of all things in this universe.
