I have a fewcstrange questions... can you smell things you've eaten through your body? Can you smell your blood through your skin?
Yesterday I drank a whole bottle of magnesium citrate(laxative) for fun, and I swear I could smell the diarrhea smell leaking out through by pores. It wasn't from farts, I didn't shit my pants, and when I wiped I used baby wipes to finish the cleaning and I got any splatter that hit my butt cheeks.
I promise I could smell it through my skin. The diarrhea smell.
And there are times when my balls smell like what I've eaten. I heard what you eat effects how your sperm tastes, but apparently it can leak through your skin? Balls have thin skin in particular.
And finally, I've smelled my skin and it smelled like blood. A coppery smell.
Now, I have sat on making this thread long enough. I've made sure my hands and skin were clean. I've done this enough times.
Is this normal? Being able to smell your own BLOOD though your skin?

A more interesting question is why some things are odorless at all

the only way to smell something is if it's vaporized in a gas medium. you can smell things youve eaten because its evaporating off your body through sweat into the air.
anything that has a taste will have a smell if its vaporized and small enough molecule.

The theory is it's a survival mechanism.
For example, if the taste of water was stronger than it's contaminants, it would be harder for you to detect contaminated water.
If the smell of air overpowered the smell of animals, it would make it harder for predators to hunt and harder for prey to smell predators.

For things to have an odor it has to have a receptor in the olfactory nerve endings to bind to.

Yes, but it would be beneficial to smell carbon monoxide for instance.
>>7768404
That's true. Seems like it could be refined though. Just because you can smell oxygen and nitrogen doesn't mean you couldn't also smell something else at the same time, but yeah I see what you're saying.
The inert gases I can see, but things like methane, carbon monoxide, etc are the ones that puzzle me. I guess maybe only in recent history have we had to deal with significant accumulation of things like methane and carbon monoxide.

Yes of course it would be beneficial, but how would it appear from evolution if we have never been exposed to lethal levels until quite recently?

Yep.
Here's the empty bottle.
Lemon flavor is way too strong and sour, grape or strawberry is what I'd recommend.
>>7768467
Even in scripture that's debatable. The bible says things like "God knows what we are going to do and need before we do it and before we need it" so it's possible that the age of the earth is entirely a matter of perspective.
To me, I just showed up and everything was magically here, the apocalypse had already pretty much already happened, etc.
I guess those things depend on individual perspective.

Well, animals don't have many other ways of analyzing things in the world.

>>7768499
They have all the same senses we do. They just smell in high def.

Anyways....
How is it that I can smell things like blood through my skin?
How come I could smell my diarrhea though my skin? Intestines are pretty deep in there!! Did nasty chemicals abdorb into my blood stream?
Should I be concerned?

You can tell when someone's eaten curry, for sure
