"A standardized lexicon of body odor words crafted from 17 countries"

... and yet my grade school science project on which dish detergents work better (which is to be presented to numerous parents during the science fair) gets a C-. Go figure.

NatureA standardized lexicon of body odor words crafted from 17 countries - Scientific DataBody odors offer a unique window into the physiological and psychological profile of the emitter. This information, broadcast in nonverbal communication, significantly shapes social interactions. However, effectively digitizing body odors requires a precise framework for perceptual operationalization. Previous research has used a very limited number of verbal terms, such as pleasant, intense, or attractive, which fails to adequately capture qualitative differences. To address this gap, we elicited body odor descriptions from 2,607 participants across 17 countries and 13 languages. All these descriptions are presented here in one dataset, together with a condensed list of 25 body odor words (BOW). Those terms reliably differentiated between body states, and were validated in a separate study with a different group of 155 perceivers. The dataset, available as a web application, provides a novel operationalization of body odor impressions, which is a precondition for studying olfaction in human nonverbal communication, for perception-based digitization of body odors and for comparative studies.

I ordered a used cable off ebay, and it arrived smelling terribly of cigarettes. I contacted the seller and he apologized saying that he'd had COVID multiple times and his sense of smell is shot. He got the cable from someone else, and claims not to have detected the smell. This is actually believable, sadly, since there is a study that shows that around 1/4 of people who experienced changes to taste and smell from COVID never fully recovered from it.

Woof tout le monde ! Je suis un #puppy #gay français dont le maître a donné le nom de Bourrichon. Un nom un peu spécial peut-être mais c'est le miens et j'en suis très fier ! 🐶
#Switch #beta en recherche de meute dans le Nord !

Mon nom vient surtout du fait que je me prends surtout la tête pour tout et rien...

Sexuellement, j'explore mes #fétish : #cho7, #boxers, #odeurs, #uro et #puppyplay évidemment !
Depuis le début d'année j'ai commencé le #Fist

Au plaisir de discuter !

🇬🇧
Woof everyone! I'm a French #gay #puppy whose master gave the name Bourrichon. A rather special name perhaps but it's mine and I'm very proud of it! 🐶
#Switch #beta looking for #friends

My name mostly comes from the fact that I mostly overthink everything....

Sexually, I explore my #fetishes: #socks, #briefs #smell, #piss and #puppyplay obviously!
Since the beginning of the year I've started the #Fist

Looking forward to chatting!
