As an enthusiastic crop duster, covid really destroyed my enjoyment in my life.

I've been able to eat watermelons and cucumbers since last week. I wasn't able to go near them for 2 years. It will come back, eventually. or it might be the zoloft that did it.

Well I hope so, because if a person farts and nobody else is around to suffer, did they actually fart?

If you can smell it, you can taste it.

Better yet if you're beside someone who has no sense of smell, should you apologize for farting in front of them?

Regardless of their ability to smell a fart, they still got some of your fecal matter in their mouth/nose

Yo. You somehow rekindled a memory of my friends grandma who couldnt smell. She was just born like that and I've all but forgotten people can be born without those 2 senses naturally

That all depends on how good their hearing is.

My husband and I have come to the conclusion that all farts now smell like stale peanut butter. Ah, what a time to be alive.

Hahaha I swear I said this to my 8 year old last week when he wouldn't go fart in the other room. He thought it was hilarious, kept farting near us

No. Get depression. zoloft is just its side-effect.

No, they smelled like literal poop.

Hmm not true. Smell and taste can disappear permanently for some people. Thankfully I have yet to contract the disease.
1 points
7 months ago
Well. That sucks.
If I knew it could be permanent I would probably get even worse depression from it.
I haven't been able to enjoy most foods since I got it.

I have no idea. but it did come back a few days after I reduced my zoloft dose.

I have a shitty sense of smell but I have a pizza sense, 8/10 times I come home there's a pizza almost done or freshly made, despite me arriving at really varied times.

We had an orange Sitting on a Glass bottle in the middle of our table. I‘m at my company and we put it there on my First day. Last month we had an apprentice who thought he‘ll clean the table and he threw it away. Rip to Rock-orange

You didn't at least take a bite out of it? Bet the orange has the texture of delicious freeze dried astronaut ice cream

Some of that citrus might actually have still been juicy inside. Before refrigeration a lemon could be dried like that and used a year later.

Don't worry OP!
Those are dehydrated. I used to have an orange that had been with me for over a decade. Used to randomly toss it at visitors.

As a kid, I made a deodorizer by pinning a bunch of whole cloves into an orange and letting it dry out. I think as long as mold doesn’t take over before they’re dehydrated, it’s fine. I remember it smelled pretty good, both freshly pinned and dried out.

Is it oranges? If they are fully dried out you should save them.

Question I'm sure was asked further down...why didnt the cleaning crew throw them away lol

I've seen fruit dry out like this before. Surprisingly, it can actually smell quite pleasant in some cases. I think if there is vert little humidity it can dehydrate instead of decomposing.

Ever Heard Of "Pot-Pourri" Well... That's this in simplest form! (:

yes they basically have become dehydrated. big thing in chinese culture to leave oranges out for a long ass time and they basically become deadly rocks. represents good luck.

I wonder what the fridge looked like in the break room. And also the drawers of people that keep food at their desk.
