aliens being confused by how humans deal with scents
human: “gonna have to wash this blanket to get rid of that new smell,”
alien: *makes a note that humans prefer to mark objects with familiar scents*human: “gotta love that new car smell”
alien: *scratches out previous note and replaces it with a question mark*human: “old books smell so good,”
alien: *increasingly frustrated note taking*human: “mmm love that new book smell,”
alien: “WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS?”As an anosmic human, the alien in this post is very relatable to me.
Human: Oh, man, this perfume smells beautiful. I could smell it all day!
Alien: *makes note that humans like crushed flowers, alcohol, and various wood oils mixed in an aerosol form*Human: Ugh! Good grief, who took a bath in their perfume cabinet??
Alien: *throws notepad across the room*Human: *sneezes*
Alien: …I appear to have broken our human.
Human: *sniffles* Just allergies. I think you’re releasing spores.
Alien: …Spores are bad. Unequivocally bad. Yes?
Human: If you’re allergic…?
Alien: WHY IS THERE NO ONE THING UNILATERALLY TRUE FOR HUMANITY??
Human: …I appear to have broken our alien.
