Could be. I’m one of the rare water drinkers, maybe tea every now and then, and if the god-below-the-horrors demands I drink coffee, I have it sugared and flavored every way from sunday.

Coffee I’ll give you, though that one is definitely weird to me. It DOES taste and smell the same, but at the same time I love the smell and hate the taste.
Soap, cheese, vanilla, cocoa powder, hibiscus are nearly 1-to-1 matches for me, smell/taste wise. Cinnamon is exactly the same.
Dragonfruit… I can’t recall it very well. I’ve had it once since I turned 18, and can only remember that it’s like eating a kiwi with no taste. Not a thing in memory about the smell. Same thing for chestnuts.
Coconut is another weird one for me. It does smell/taste the same, but the texture is so important that it overrides any concerns of the smell/taste.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that some dude in California running a 3-person company got voters to give him $4.2 billion by authoring a ballot measure, which passedEnglish
5·4 days agoIt’s purposeful (which I’m sure you already know). There’s a fella whose name I can’t recall right now that is responsible for an incredibly large amount of these ballot measures (I want to say in the realm of 700-900? Or maybe ~150-200, not sure, but still a lot of them) and has a success rate of something like 95% with them. My state’s bullshit was so contorted that I made sure to read the positions of several advocacy groups to figure out which ones I was going to vote yes/no on.
Get a veterinarian friend in your life, they have great stories.
In this story time, it’s about pet food companies and veterinarian students. See, if a veterinarian recommends a certain food, is any reasonable owner taking their pet to said veterinarian going to not at least try that food? So pet food companies will give enormous discounts to veterinarian students. They want to hook them on it. They’ll bring in cartloads of their brand and nearly give it away to the students. My friend had a small side hustle reselling the stuff. His girlfriend was feeding her cat something like $300 worth of the super premium food a month… for the low price of $30. His mother was getting 80lbs of some premium brand dog food every month. It was nuts.
They also, in these little giveaways and ‘seminars’ put on, answer all the questions the vets might ever be asked by clients later on… which is why this is relevant to this post. See, they’ll freely admit that every food is more or less taste-tested by humans first. So when they say ‘bacon’ or ‘pumpkin spice’ or such, it’s really because the human that tasted it said so (and also because they already knew what it was going to taste like, the folks making the product aren’t exactly stupid in the first place).
Also also… how does anyone not know what things taste like before putting them in your mouth? I can think of nearly nothing that doesn’t smell so close to how it tastes that it makes no difference. So just go sniff the treat and you can tell.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL Tolkien supported fascist SpainEnglish
191·2 months agoI think we can pretty easily separate the idea of continuing to give money to someone who is one of the most active breeders of hate against transgender individuals as bad from the enjoyment of the work of a long dead author who supported horrible causes.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Seeing NSFW post titles just makes me want to respond to them neutrally.English
1·3 months agoI do what I can, and by what I can, I mean deepthroating 10" horse dildos. That’s why that particular post made me grumpy.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Seeing NSFW post titles just makes me want to respond to them neutrally.English
1·3 months agoMy best guess is that they are usually ‘managed’ accounts, where someone is paid a pittance to post the pictures and try to farm engagement so that the accounts get more traffic. I’m sure by now there are automated systems for it, but I know back when lemmynsfw was just beginning, there was at least one account that openly stated it was being managed by someone, with a link to the onlyfans account AND the management services.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Seeing NSFW post titles just makes me want to respond to them neutrally.English
9·3 months agoThe titles like that are dumb as hell. It has nothing to do with being asexual or not. I take after all types, and still find myself wanting to slap them silly.
If you look, you’ll notice that certain accounts don’t do it. Those are the good ones, the old school gachos that just like to show themselves off and sometimes chat with the weirdos wanting to look at them.
The other ones, you’ll find, all have onlyfans links in their account infos. They spam the same picture to multiple communities, even if it’s not really a ‘fit’ for them, and always reply in the most idiotic manner. Like, no, you’re not lonely, and you’re not getting with anyone in these comments, so stop pretending like that’s what you want in your title or post body.
I vehemently disagree with the other people in this thread on being nice to those ones. Be nice to the real ones, who aren’t simply baiting, but call out the idiocy with the bad faith posters. There was one a while ago on /deepthroat, for example, that put in her title that she was practicing her deepthroating, and goddamnit, you aren’t practicing for deepthroating by doing a little suckle motion on just the tip of a tiny dildo.
It’s the simpering of a child pandering for compliments, the same energy as any kiddo thinking they won’t get told off by their mother just because they also were pitiable squalidly sitting in the ruins of their own failure. tell them off just like you would a child.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL At least 25 of the Snapple "Facts" are false, outdated, exaggerated or inconclusiveEnglish
1·3 months agoSeems odd. I even carry ring cutters on my belt; I’m sure an emergency room has even more options available.
Pretty sure it is the same. I just went and tested. What makes it seem otherwise is how concentrated it is. You’re only getting a teenie weenie portion of it into your nose, it’s diluted in any recipe (and the alcohol [like 95% by volume in the container] burns off while cooking), but if you taste it you’re getting it super duper heavy on your tongue, alcohol and vanilla.
