    There are a couple other ones, like cilantro tastes like soap (took me some time to figure that one out) and apparently one that makes pee stink when you eat asparagus, and you need another to actually smell the pee stink (I don’t know if it’s true, I just got em all and collected info in the internet).

      Cilantro tastes like bathwater/ wet washcloth to me.

        I am so sorry for your loss. Cilantro tastes amazinging fresh and plantey in a great way, for those of us without a genetic defect.

        Do you taste that with cooked cilantro in a dish or just with raw cilantro?

          Bro that’s not a defect, it means they can actually smell some molecules you can’t.

        That was a crappy article.

        TLDR: in a bookshop you relax, maybe sit down, maybe have tea was the reason…

Rules

  1. Don’t throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.


If you are here asking: “Is this a science meme?”

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn’t need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn’t a filing cabinet of facts, it’s a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what’s under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.

See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.
