  • I read your comment and I feel you. I have a little advice.

    First a but about memI “left” reddit for the same reasons. Left is in quotes because I was permanently banned because I argued with a major mod. Specifically I said after they banned me from a sub “ouch ouch ouch, sorry sprained my ankle tripping over 3 identical communities” to which they replied “don’t message me again” and I of course did with a “or what? You’ll silence me? That’s not very intimidating”

    Anyway my point is this:

    There’s no point in arguing with stupid people… But if you are going to I recommend being dismissive or different. They are prepared for aggression they can’t handle being dismissed. It really messes with bigoted people especially.

    An example from my life

    Guy at the gas station to me: can you believe the cashier is speaking Spanish? This is America lol

    Me: it’s 7 o’clock in the morning. Can you save the racism until after breakfast please.

    An example of "different " would be this

    I live in Orlando, we have Nazis who protest. I LOVE to walk by and say to a random one “you don’t look good bald. You’re heads too boxy to pull it off”

    It fucks with them more than yelling I promise you lol. They aren’t expecting that kind of thing.











  • That’s good to know. I told another commenter I’m glad to be wrong. I just assumed it would smell like pork because of all the ways pig is used to test things as replacement for human flesh. Being close here doesn’t mean it’s close there. I just assumed and I’m relieved that’s not something people actually have to deal with.

    Still obviously a horrible and traumatic thing to deal with but at least it doesn’t ruin Nana’s famous pulled pork. Which is so small and silly compared to dealing with the horrors of a tragedy but… To use a silly example “it sucks I got fired but it would’ve been slightly worse if I got fired and hit my shin on the table while I was being escorted out of the building”. Basically I’m not implying “well then it’s not so bad” just…One small thing I’m glad isn’t part of the problem.


  • That is a great answer thank you. That was the most horrific part of the question. I’ve never smelled it obviously but I know pirates called it long pork. I’ve heard it described as tasting like pork but only from people who probably were not cannibals. I don’t talk to a lot of cannibals… That I’m aware of anyway. So I only have what I read here and there in articles. I just assumed if humans tasted like pork then we smell like pork.

    So I was talking about smells with a friend “bathrooms and air freshener if you’re curious” and my ADHD brain just linked a bunch of useless trivia.

    I’m glad to know humans just smell different. It’s probably biological maybe even evolution. Makes sense because in the cave man days anyone who wasn’t disgusted by another dead human enough to run… Probably didn’t survive as long as those that thought “this is something I want to immediately get away from.”


  • That’s the thing tho nasty and gross I could deal with. I’m no hero like emergency services. I grew up on a farm, raised and processed animals here and there. Stumbled apon missing animals that were long past a pleasant smell. I had a grandmother that was a hoarder, I raised 4 kids…

    I’m the one in my family that does the “ewww I just can’t… Please I can’t even talking about it *dry heaves”

    My family jokes that I would be the guy in the movie doing an autopsy with his sandwich sitting on the chest of the body.

    Now none of that was even close to the mental trauma doctors, police, firefighters face. I also know human decomposition is described as much worse. Id also assume smelling the stuff I’ve smelled from animals probably also hits mentally harder coming from a human. I’m not at all saying “meh I’ve smelled it all”

    The point I’m making is terrible smells are bad but seeing something awful and smelling a steak or something good? That seems worse. Like if I drained an abscess in an animal and smelled sugar cookies… I wouldn’t be able to eat sugar cookies anymore. I assume. I don’t really know which is why I’m asking.

    But I did read you said a person who died by fire doesn’t smell like steak or food? That’s good to hear. Thats what I was unsettled but curious about.



  • Absolutely. I’m just saying I’ve seen this trend with every information source

    Wikipedia doesn’t count Snopes doesn’t count Google doesn’t count

    Anything can be wrong and I probably shouldnt have dismissed my efforts. I checked the links, they seemed to fit with the information I was provided.

    I just warned I didn’t check the charity itself for how well funds were appropriated

    The guy arguing submitted a dead charity I mentioned was dead and got upvoteted.

    I’m not worried about the down votes I’m just saying my information was the only information when I posted it and better information than the people who hated chatgpt. I also didn’t just copy and paste. I spent exactly ten minutes checking and warning.

    So that means the problem wasn’t the information or accuracy. They just hated chatgpt.

    Googles dead. Time to move on.


  • Yeah…that’s what I gathered. People just want to hate chatgpt in the same way they wanted to hate snopes or Wikipedia.

    I verified the link I just meant I hadn’t checked if it was a good charity like I would if I donated myself.

    Edit: and the guy who posted the dead charity link I warmed about got up voted. They see me using it for information searches as evil like I’m using it to make art or write a book. I use it because Google sucks now.

    I know people will memorize bad information. I grew up on the border and I’m always explaining the numbers they say about illegal immigrants aren’t possible. We can’t even evacuate cities before emergencies that fast. Never seems to stick.


  • Then finding an example should be easy.

    Besides it’s irrelevant. You are suggesting someone years from is going to remember the web address I linked but forgot my advice of “check out if it’s legit yourself” which is pretty and basic advice anytime you donate to charity?

    Therefore you can’t give me any personal example, you haven’t cited anything from anybody to back anything up, and it’s also completely irrelevant for the topic at hand.

    Good job.
