RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Sunscreen, sun-soaked basil, and new electronics.
Nothing beats the smell of a subwoofer on its first run.
Mitti Attar. It's a Indian scent that smells of wet moss, rain on hot sand, a damp forest. Difficult to describe but very alluring.
I'd love to travel to India and smell this.
Ocean pine forest on warm summer days when walking to the sea side/beach.
Fresh bread just out of the oven
That crisp smell of cold fall days, just shy of frost.
vinegar, just can’t get enough of it
Coming into the house when it is very cold and snowy outside and smelling bread baking in the oven.
Firewood drying in the sun appeals to me, but it's generally a quite mild smell. If there's a breeze, it probably is undetectable.
New packs of cards when the shrinkwrap is removed.
Freshly harvested cannabis is my favorite smell, far and away
The beach.
Bit of a weird one, but... freshly peeled parsnips
I could take them or leave them when it comes to eating, but they smell great. Maybe it's a memory from childhood or something!
The first time you fire up a brand new toaster creates this incredible smell that I've only experienced like 3 times in my life.

A fresh bag of weed, especially ones that are high in limonene.
oil paint, cigarettes, and laphroaig
[but I had to quit most of those]
My sneezes (when I'm not sick)
Dogs. A place where dogs have been living has such a comforting smell to it. Also their paws smell so nice

I'm surprised no one put crayons on here yet (I don't really care either way but it seems like something that would go on this thread).
Sun bathed skin, forests(both the humid ones and the dry herby ones), baked bread, lily of the valley flowers, and many other flowers.
Alfalfa.
That smell that tells you it's Spring.
Fresh bread.
Gasoline.
Bleach.
That head shop incense smell.
The smell of detergent or fabric softener from a nearby house doing laundry.
Whatever that syrup is they use for canned peaches and fruit salad cups.
😏
Marijuana. And by association, dead skunk (it smells like strong weed/strong weed smells like dead skunk 🤷🏻♂️)
Light BO. A day after sweating at work, great. If you haven't bathed in a week; 🤮
Whatever the Rock is cooking.
Pot/weed. I understand why non-partakers dont care for it but I gotta get a sniff whenever opening a new bag

Freshly cut Ytong blocks. Ink of ballpoint pens.
Brand new tires
