After covid it felt like ages for my sense of smell to be back to normal. To be honest I am still not quite sure it's back to what it was. What a weird virus, eh?

That's rookie numbers. I haven't been able to smell almost anything for my entire life!

Tfw sense of smell comes back but all jumbled up so chicken nuggets and poop both smell like fryer greese, so you get mixed feelings walking by McDonald's

Haha I have a similar fucked up sense of smell!

Coffee and cat poop smell the same to me (which is like a combination of the two...very unpleasant. A coffee shop is basically a litterbox to me now).

You get all that PLUS MORE swapped and fucked up smells and tastes thanks to your friendly neighborhood deadly coronavirus!

Lol, for me it's cat poo and peanut butter

It’s interesting how it affects people differently. When I lost my sense of smell with COVID, bad smells were the last to return. I could smell everything else but couldn’t smell bathroom smells, eggs, skunk, or weed (debatable if the last one is bad or not, but either way it was gone). It was nice, I was hoping to only smell nice things forever, but it came back.

You have a pair of tremendous reasons for wearing a respirator with P100+Nuisance Level Organic Vapor combo cartridges. Stanky jobs and not getting long COVID again are much easier having taken the ~$60 plunge and committed myself to Baneface.

This is what I use, in Large. With big eyepro I’d feel comfortable at a fucking concert with it.

Soft paddle filters are a little bit more breathable, but against stank are either these water-resistant P100+nuisanceOV hardcases for normal stank or bigger organic vapor P100 cartridges for heavy duty. Ziploc when not in use:

I can hear this in the professor's voice

2 years later.. still can't smell worth a shit. I mean skunks smell like Starbucks.

[-] Piemanding@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Well coffee already smelled like skunk so.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
