I thought it was the cologne they spray at the store, but even clothes I have delivered from a distribution center also have a smell that is very discernibly NOT Tide detergent.
How?? What are they washing these clothes with to make them smell like that??
Manufacturing detritus. Machine oil. Pollution. The rancid sweat of 100 hands they’ve passed through.
That smell is an excellent reason to wash your clothes before wearing them.
Well that sucks I really do like the smell. But maybe I’m just crazy.
Not crazy, just conditioned. Buying new clothes is exciting (after you turn 15) and the smell is part of the memory.
15? I’m 18 and I still dread it. Even if I get something nice, was is rly worth it? It’s a necessity, how can someone enjoy something that they must do? (like eating: super overrated)
Agreed on both points. I buy all my shit at Kohl’s cause I just don’t care. Plain colored shirts, and regular pants. Am I fashionable? Fuck no, but I also don’t get weird looks for dressing bad. Someone buys an $80 shirt and “can’t” wear it after a year or two. I buy a $15 shirt and wear it for close to a decade if it’s still in good shape.
And food? It may just be me getting old but eating is more of something I do just to not die. Sure, I enjoy some foods, but overall it’s just a chore.
People who enjoy eating enjoy tasting or enjoy the feeling of things going down their throat. Can be psychological too and not attached to the physical stimulus.
Do you guys not like sugar or the sting of spice? The whole ritual around eating, making food or heading somewhere to eat influences how good food makes you feel.
Wow, someone else that actually feels the way I do about these things, particularly the eating part. The whole process of preparing, cooking and eating food feels like such a waste of time to me, I wish I could just take a pill or supplement that actually gave me everything I needed as if I were eating a healthy balanced diet and then maybe eat one meal a week for the actual taste of food.
I said the same thing about those pills at least twice.
