You’re shitfaced.
I work close enough to a landfill that you know, sometimes it smells like active landfill. And by sometimes, I mean there’s a background level of stench and on some days it’s really rank. But it’s a consistent rank. (Except that time they shocked a nearby lake to kill invasive Asian carp and just dumped 47,000 carp into the landfill to just basically rot. More vultures than usual that week.)
However, yesterday when we went for our lunch time parking lot walk (as there are no paths/sidewalks around), there was just a different scent lingering. Like maybe a trash truck was broken down and rancid waste was wafting from somewhere nearby. But like rancid gross trash, not usual trash truck on the street smell.
It’s like 180 miles to Iowa from where we are, but apparently it was their hog farms and cattle farms. I’m not even joking.
I can’t imagine what the regular smell is near those farms for people living and working near them. We were smelling the diffused smell far, far away.
So aside from wildfires – since that smell can spread far away – you smell not so close neighbors recently?
Good ol’ Missouri. The smell me state!
We were getting occasional smells of a coffee roaster, but I haven’t smelled that in a while, and it’s obviously not nearly as bad as cow manure.
I remember as a kid being driven on a highway past a Wonder Bread bakery. I hated Wonder Bread but it smelled great.
Go Spurs! I’m so happy to be excited for the Spurs & Washington Football Team for once.
I’m glad I have this weekend of childhood sports love before democracy ends on Tuesday!
i’ve hated cp3 for so long that i can hardly believe he is already my second favourite player.
The great Zag Zach Collins being your favorite I assume. CP3 is hard to like if he is not on your team.
Almost as bad as Draymont for punching guys in the happy sack.
You definitely hate him if he is not on your team & half the time if he is. Ask Jordan Poole or any rookie.
My neighbors two doors down smoke a lot of marijuana. I take walks a couple of times a day just to get out of the house, and I smell it in the mornings and at night. It’s a rental house and I’m not entirely sure how many people live there. There’s one young couple with a baby and then there’s others that are in and out, and like three cars park there. I don’t get worked up over it and it’s probably going to be legal here pretty soon, but I do hate the smell.
<insert grandpa simpson meme here>
at least they’re definitely voting for kamala!
Sadly there’s a good chance they’ll vote for Trump.
Our next door neighbor smokes regular cigarettes and occasionally he sits on his deck and the smell wafts over. I can’t remember the last time I had a smoking neighbor.
Growing up, though, even though my parents didn’t smoke there were so many adults around who smoked that I’m pretty immune to the smell. I’m old enough to remember when smoking in planes was legal, though, and that was horrible.
I get really triggered by cigarette smoke if I feel like I’m going to smell like it, too. It’s 100% from having the house with 2 indoor smoking parents and being “the smelly kid” to a lot of other kids at school. Like I start mentally trying to figure out how soon I can shower and wash the smell off me.
I remember going to the houses of friends whose parents smoked, and just kind of accepting it.
Yeah I had friends who were like that, and I had other people who would say after coming over once that they wouldn’t come back. Hit or miss, you know?
My feeling as a kid was all parents were kind of weird. You kind of dealt with them to hang out with your friends.
We used to live by a soup factory. Most of the time it just made me hungry but when they did onion soup it was a little unpleasant & I love French onion soup.
I close my eyes
Only for a moment but the moment’s gone
The air streams
Pass thru my nose, quite the atrocity
Stench in the wind
All it is stench in the wind…
poor kansas lol
It smells nice where I live. It’s a real farm and it smells great.
I am not a big fan of farm smells & the worst place ever for me was Tillamook Oregon in early summer. All those fields of wet, cold cow poop being exposed to sun & wind is beyond an eye watering situation. Great cheese but not worth the nasal assault.
I remember gagging as a kid going to the state fair and visiting the cow and pig exhibitions, but I seem to have gotten used to them as an adult.
There may be a connection to how I can eat sulfury things now like cabbage and broccoli that I wouldn’t touch as a kid.
airs pretty clean here..then again my sense of smell is pretty bad too
one of the neighbours kids has a souped up moped and if i’d been deaf i’d definitely still be able to tell hes had it running just because of the smell of gasoline that comes off that thing
i assume coz hes running it far too rich and doesnt know what hes doing….
im not deaf tho….and little two stroke engines are annoying as hell….and souped up…they are loud…very loud
We get kids on dirtbikes doing stunts. Big thick tires with no real purpose on the streets, and they tend to run pretty slow because of the thickness, but I guess it makes them look cool.
I don’t care, but I also can’t blame the people who complain about them where they are a lot more common.
the siren song of shitty little 2 strokes is just a fact of life here in europeland…even more so in the meditteranean area
never stops being an annoying noise tho…that said long as you dont decide to rev the crap out of it at like 3 am…i dont care…least not enough to do more than mumble something about fucking mopeds to myself
