The Nose Is Not a Topic

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 "it's dark in here" normal regular observation "finally some quiet" relatable exclamation "doesn't smell like anything in here" absolutely deranged sentence

A dark social media screenshot jokes that people casually comment on darkness and silence, but almost never mention the absence of smells. The punchline is that saying “doesn't smell like anything in here” sounds bizarre and socially unhinged, despite being logically similar to ordinary observations.
