More of a squat, I don’t stand up straight or anything.

So the popular option is to continue sitting and put your hand under to wipe?

Same, thinking about it the idea of putting my hand in the bowl to do that is grossing me out too. Do you go in from the front or the back or do you kind of lean over?

I used to, until it was pointed out that wiping while sitting is better so I switched

It really fucked me up when I realized that “picture this” wasn’t an entirely figurative saying, and everyone else does actually see stuff in their “mind’s eye.”

The smell like pepper to me. Well, you know how when you crush bricks or rocks it kinda has a peppery smell? It’s that pepper scent.

I can, they also taste absolutely abhorrent and ruin food they are in for me. It’s a very bitter chemical taste and smell.

I suggest not eating them, but I don’t want to tell you what to do.

Smell is how ants communicate with one another so maybe these ant sniffers will be the first humans who can speak ant.

There are lots of weird genetic traits. Sneezing triggered by sunlight is another funny one.

Veritasium video on that one:

I have that! Sneezed twice today because of bright sunlight. It can sometimes also be triggered voluntarily by looking at a bright light. You can’t trigger it multiple times in a row though. I suspect this is because sinuses need to recover from the shock of the sneeze.

I can sneeze several times in a row if a light is bright enough. I’ve even triggered it just thinking of the sun, a few times.

I got the “cilantro tastes like soap” gene personally. Would much rather have gotten the, “Always remember where I left my car keys” gene, or maybe the, “Come up with witty retorts on the spot instead of two hours later in the shower” one.

At least you don’t have my “sky-high cholesterol no matter what you eat” gene.

Also artificial sweeteners have an unpleasant chemical aftertaste that lingers for a long time. Apparently that’s generic too…

Still can’t believe that some people are unable to smell rain coming in the summer!

Is that petrichor, or is that after rain?

People used to make fun of me all the time for sniffing and saying “smells like it’s going to rain soon”. Couldn’t even tell you what it smells like… It just smells like the concept of it starting to rain

I’ve met others who knew exactly what I was talking about, but not many

This thread makes me glad Im bad with regular smells, let alone ant pheromones and shit like that. Downside is I cant tune out sounds, I always hear everything full blast

My weird “paranormal” quirk is knowing when someone is sick by smell. My nose is usually blocked up and I can barely smell flowers but for some reason I can just tell when someone is incubating some sickness that will make them bedridden the next day.

No idea how it works. I just smell “sick” - it’s kind of this warm earthy ground smell. I can even smell it on myself sometimes and I’ll know I need to take a day off tomorrow. My theory is I can smell something off in the skin temperature.
