Yeah, but why does it sometimes smell like mammal cum?

[-] 7eter@feddit.org 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I don't know WHY. But the relevant tree is called (Götterbaum in German) or Tree of Heaven - beautiful

[-] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Fucking hate trees of heaven, they should be called Trees from Hell. Invasive little shits grow everywhere

[-] MML@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago

That's a different tree, we have (because we plant it) the Callery pear which smells like sperm and a bloody nose combined, they chose it because of the root size and height and I guess they also couldn't smell.

Some trees are pollinated by beetles, flies, or other insects that might normally be attracted to rotting flesh. As a result, they often emit a more meaty odor. Why cum specifically I can't say but I think cum has certain organic molecules in common with dead things.

I almost did a joke re: dead things and sex, which was meant to be self depreciating.... But it kept sounding like i was stanning necrophilia. So here we are.

Doesn't cum just smell like bleach or avocado? Nothing in particular?

[-] snooggums@piefed.world 6 points 3 months ago

It definitely smells like salty bodily fluids.

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

My nose is not so good for that, so feel free to cum anywhere, I won't figure it out.

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

That's the strangest invite to a bukkake party I've ever gotten. I'm down.

[-] davidagain@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

The bleachiness is in the nose, and it's flourine, which smells very like, but distinct to chlorine, which is in most bleaches.

You detect saltiness with your tongue, not your nose.

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 1 points 3 months ago

Yes, it was very fucking salty, like chemical burn, unnatural saltiness.

[-] T156@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I've never had an avocado that smelt like bleach. Are they supposed to smell like that?
