• I’m a super smeller, and I’ve trained it well and made myself some party tricks. For example, I can identify a coffee down to the grow region and altitude based on the scent of a fresh cup.

    Also I can roll myself up into a little ball and be very compact. I used to date someone with a thing for contortion, I don’t think I’ve really shown it off since.

      Wow I thought I had a really good sense of smell, but nothing like that. I can tell if someone’s been walking downtown main street by the combination of smells they pick up there.

      I’ve got a very specific ‘talent’ in that regard. I can smell when tomato sauce has the right amount of salt.

      I put that into quotation marks, because it’s more of a learned skill probably, since I have cooked potentially literally a metric ton of tomato sauce in my life.
      My mum once joked that she’s surprised I’m not orange from all the tomato sauce I eat.
