      “I’m not touching anything at the moment” you’re either a master of stating the obvious, or you’ve just made everyone in that room very fucking uncomfortable

        Especially because it’s really hard to not touch anything, you’d need to be naked and jumping. And not count touching “air” as touching something.

    Image Transcription: Tumblr


    sadclowncentral

    weird how no one ever comments on the absence of smells unprompted. the nose just isn’t a topic of conversation unless it’s urgent huh


    sadclowncentral

    “it’s dark in here” normal regular observation

    “finally some quiet” relatable exclamation

    “doesn’t smell like anything in here” absolutely deranged sentence

    I’m on team nose!

    I always say clean smells of nothing. Not chemicals, not lemon. If it’s clean, it should smell of nothing.

    “It’s dark in here” Said when the room is expected to be lighter than usual.

    “Finally some quiet” said when there was a noise that is now gone.

    “Doesn’t smell like anything in here” Said when a smell was expected but is not found.

    People do say it, this meme is weird.

      We already concluded that Lemmy will upbean anything, not surprised this meme is popular.

        On the corner hand I unsubbed from the meme Reddit because it was horrible cringe. This meme doesn’t make sense (don’t really think it even qualifies as a meme), but it’s at least bearable and I understand the joke it’s attempting to make.

      Also not smelling is neutral while the other two aren’t. Nobody said “there is an appropriate amount of light in here” or “there’s an expected amount of background noise”.

      Dark and quiet are the extreme ends of the spectrum. I think smelling bad and good are the ends of the spectrum for smells, although smell is much more multi dimensional, but no smell is neutral.

        In the quiet sentence it is implied that it was loud enough before for the commenter to appreciate the quiet.

        The smell equivalent would be “it finally doesn’t stink anymore” or something like that, and it doesn’t sound weird at all.

      Not for an area that is getting forest fires. Walk into a space that is being properly filtered and you 100% get a breath of fresh air.
