YSK: “bad smells” are subjective
# WHY YSK:
A **horrific greasy wet fart** might smell disgusting to you but genuinely not bother someone else at all.
Same with gasoline, sharpies, cigarettes, wet grass, bleach, skunk spray, feet, whatever.
Humans act like smell is universally agreed on when it really isn’t. Your brain, memories, tolerance, culture, and even genetics affect what you think smells “good” or “bad.”
There are literally people who love the smell of gasoline and people who feel sick from it instantly. Some people like the smell of barns and animals because it reminds them of childhood. Others hate it. So technically even something society labels as “gross” can smell good to somebody else.
I’ve smelt a wet fart that smelt like lays potato chips and I was actually impressed.
