they put something different in avgas though (beyond the lead) because avgas smells like farts.syntaxrigger posted:and the dead body is described as "sickly sweet" ? I never know how to parse this other than 'the dead person smell' i never really got that one either tbh. there is a gross smell of putrefaction and i guess "sweet" would be the closest, in that it doesn't smell like idk burning or acid or poop or whatever, but it's not really sweet. it's just gross and...soft? like where something like vinegar or ammonia are really sharp, this is the opposite of that. when i hear "sickly sweet" i mostly think of, like, candies that are way too sugary, but i think the correct term for that is "cloying." incidentally can you smell ammonia? that one is so powerful it seems like more of a physiological reaction than an odor

Sagebrush posted:they put something different in avgas though (beyond the lead) because avgas smells like farts. So I can detect fumes. If you put a rag of ammonia in my face it would make my nose burn and I would have trouble breathing but if you put it in another room I don't think I would notice. This is one of the reasons why I hate lysol. There is some chemical, I assume some sort of alcohol, that is a vehicle for the scent to spread around whatever room it is sprayed. I assume that the smell is strong enough to distract from the chemical, but when a lot of lysol is sprayed in a small room or one with no ventilation my nose gets that funny burning can't breathe feeling if that makes sense.

syntaxrigger posted:Fascinating. there was a goon who posted an ask/tell about their time as a paramedic. they said the first time they smelled a corpse it triggered something very deep in their brain and they knew what it was before they ‘knew’ it was a dead body. it’s apparently something that’s very much hard coded into us and is unquestionable when you run into it for the first time. thank goodness i have no idea what that is though

I hosed off from work right after lunch and down to my garage to tune up my family’s bicycles. Now I’m sitting in my camp chair drinking beer and watching my kid ride his bike around the parking lot. Coronavirus is turning me into a redneck.

For a time I thought I had a poor sense of smell. Most things just seemed to have a neutral smell unless they were directly under my nose. But there were a few specific things I could seem to detect much better than others. Like cat pee, or alcohol, or cigarettes - all really strong and repulsive. If you're sitting across the table with me I can't tell if you haven't showered in a couple days but your glass of wine will be mildly unpleasant. And I find gasoline repulsive in any amount.
