Heck, even before you take into account differing xenobiologies, this has precedent on earth; different cultures are often unused to how other cultures smell.

I remember a Chinese friend, in jest mind you, said that white people smell of slightly sour milk.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 year ago

oh that's just the daily sour milk skincare routine

I'm sensitive to smells and perfumes so any culture that uses them often is difficult for me. Hey are there scent suppressants I can buy or is that future tech?

[-] TheInsane42@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

There would so be a market for it, although I'd rather have the artificial odor market be killed off instead. Saves a lot of waste as well. (as the air pollution, those smells... yuck)

I knew a guy who couldn’t smell anything for weeks after smoking weed. As a maintenance worker for an apartment complex, he kept that up for years.

Hey I'm a condo maintenance guy! I swear Snelling garbage and bad smells all day has destroyed my sense of smell. If someone's wearing strong perfume it bothers me, but I can't smell bad smells or notice them

Covid renders many people unable to smell or taste things.

[-] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It's possible since I got COVID last year, but I feel like it's been going a while for me
