It's like me figuring out after 23 years that most people don't sneeze looking at the sun

There are a couple other ones, like cilantro tastes like soap (took me some time to figure that one out) and apparently one that makes pee stink when you eat asparagus, and you need another to actually smell the pee stink (I don't know if it's true, I just got em all and collected info in the internet).

Cilantro tastes like bathwater/ wet washcloth to me.

I am so sorry for your loss. Cilantro tastes amazinging fresh and plantey in a great way, for those of us without a genetic defect.

Do you taste that with cooked cilantro in a dish or just with raw cilantro?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Bro that's not a defect, it means they can actually smell some molecules you can't.

Another famous one.... bookstores make a lot of people need to poop. https://www.buzzfeed.com/farrahpenn/urge-to-poop-in-bookstore-mariko-aoki-phenomenon

That was a crappy article.

TLDR: in a bookshop you relax, maybe sit down, maybe have tea was the reason...

DO NOT LOOK AT THE SUN

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

do you mean like in the morning when the sun rays hit your nose you must sneeze?

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought of that song. XD

Biting into a piece of dark chocolate for the first time will cause me to quickly sneeze similar to how people do when the step out into the sun or inhale black pepper.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Wow, interesting

Doesn't its scientific name is some goofy SNEEZE acronym too?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

The photic sneeze reflex (also known as ACHOO syndrome, a contrived acronym for Autosomal-dominant Compelling Helio-Ophthalmic Outburst)
