@@DjZorlag exactly what i thought xD i also dont think robots can smell 🤔

Only if you Program them too😆

And technically he made human perfume for robots.

Troy White you can’t just program a robot to smell

same!! It's surprising it's the actual metal that reacts with your sweat oils and not just with oxygen

It's from some other oxidation or oils too. Sometimes you can smell some stinking smell without touching it, when it gets rainbow stained, on a rusting parapet, or near a tram when it rains. The latter one is really stinky and made going to high school very challenging in the morning

What is strange, though, is that nickels smell different than pennies. I can't smell quarters or dimes.

Spoiilerrss

​@@christopherstewart9874yeah what's up with that? I can smell copper and iron... Why can't I smell the same thing on other coins? And why does my blood smell and taste like a penny??

And the difference between table salt and bleach is one oxygen.

@@jakubchumchal9459 yeah but those are both really small molecules, consisting of only a few atoms

Idk dude theres also a double bond there. The difference between a hydroxyl group and a carbonyl group is pretty significant in terms of what type of intermolecular forces and reactions are possible. The electronegativity of the O-H is very different than the C-O

@@jakubchumchal9459 this not quite comparable to what's going on here.

It get's better. The only difference between the taste of caraway and the taste of spearmint is the shape of the molecule. Chemically it's the same molecule, but one is a mirror image of the other.

A lot of things done in school I love but never cared about in lux now that I am out of school 2 years I'm way more educated and in front in life than the good good students who are now in uni meanwhile I work and building my cv and went to the army...school makes you want to either follow the sheep or be a fail...fuck that

I think this is a big problem that should be fixed. The human mind is naturally curious and like me i love watching documents, videos and reading about all kinds of things where I learn something of how the things in this world works but at school that curiosity fades away

nah its 1-octen-3-own

This angers me for some reason

Jake Hooper actually, it’s 1-octen-3-one. The one is pronounced ‘own’ for some reason.

nilered: that smells `stinky`

I mean, when you’re smelling blood you’re smelling the iron reacting to your skin oils... so I guess it does have the same smell

blood also tastes like metal

@@angriispaghetti6108 I wonder if clean blood tastes of metal...

@@Mr_Lesbian Someone else's blood already tastes different to your own blood, so like the video says, only part of the taste/smell probably comes from this molecule, the rest of it is composed of other compounds that are probably rather unique to your own skin. Now, if you lick a piece of raw meat, you will find that the blood tastes even more different, because it's from another species. Also, if you taste metal, you should probably see a doctor.

@@Mr_Lesbian If you accidentally bite your tongue, the blood tastes the same. For that matter, red meats that are rich in heme iron have that faint 'bloody' iron taste. Maybe there are compounds in your mouth that react to the iron the same way as your skin?

No it to help us track water, it's in the smell of rain. Especially after dry periods.

I have iron patio furniture and after it rains it smells like a murder scene.

I think your mom cooks weird. Lol jk. But watery baked eggs sounds… different?

Maybe the eggs were overcooked? Eggs develop a sulfur ring on the outside of the yoke when overcooked. It takes a greenish-gray hue. Not an expert so don't take my word but it might be the sulfur reacting with the forks.

@@karlcarlsburg9641 Believe me, that's not my mom's cooking, thank goodness

No look, I read this comment AS HE SAID IT lmao

@@randomperson1934 _"This sentence is grammatically correct, but it's wordy, and hard to read"_ - yeah, right. Go and tell that to James Joyce, heh heh... Y'see, I grew up reading books by Stanisław Lem, and oftentimes in his writings a sentence was like half a page long - but then Slavic languages (and in fact any other language with a proper grammar, that is with declension and inflections - be it German, French, Greek, Latin and others) tend to use long sentences, which are non-issue for their native speakers. English, on the other hand, being a highly developed Creole language fares poorly in this aspect, so native speakers tend to keep their sentences short - and since they do so, all the time, they do not have much exercise in "composing and understanding highly complex multi-tiered compound sentences", and thus when they see one they just perplexed. "It's all Greek to me"... Yes, I am aware of this problem - I encountered it before; many years ago I tried to explain some complex issue to a certain English gal, and she cut me in half-sentence saying "I already forgot what was at the beginning of the sentence". Which in turn really puzzled me, and I thought "how come, how bizarre - here I am, a non-native English speaker, and I have no problem with following such constructs - yet she, who's been speaking this language every day of her life for well over twenty years..." Yes, she has been, but I digress here. Y'see, my point (in my previous comment) was NOT to make a convoluted piece of speech (read: "writing"), but merely to point out to my "disagreeator" [disagreeator - a person with whom we are in disagreement], that he missed the point of the exercise done by Nile Red, which was... Well, we all know what it was, don't we? Therefore no need to explain, QED. And yes, my "CHOICE OF WORDS" might not be the best of the best, but y'know - that's the problem with non-native speakers... "Grammarly's cutting edge technology helps" - well, it doesn't really help much - in fact, most of the time it is more distraction and annoyance than "help". The problem with "artificial intelligence" is that it is still more "artificial" than "intelligence" - Tom Scott has made couple of videos on the subject "why computers suck at translation" and related issues - if you're interested here are links: Why Computers Suck At Translation: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GAgp7nXdkLU.html Crash Blossoms and Being Drunk - Ambiguity: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ldT2g2qDQNQ.html The Sentences Computers Can't Understand, But Humans Can: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m3vIEKWrP9Q.html and - to some extent - The Hidden Rules of Conversation: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IJEaMtNN_dM.html All of those videos show how complex, context-dependent and vague/ undefined in "zero-one" fashion all natural languages are - and therefore how confusing they can be for any "IA parser". It's like the problem with spellchecker - should I type, by mistake, "steel" instead of "still" no spellchecker would pointy it as a mistake - but if I type "pyta" in Polish text (a verb, third person singular, present tense - "[he] asks"; the personal pronoun is omitted, as Slavic languages are "pro-dop/ null subject" languages) Word would flag it as an "obscene word" - since "pyta" (a noun, feminine gender, singular, nominative case) is kinda vulgar, albeit dated, term for "penis". And about "compelling, understandable writing that makes an impact on your reader" - sorry, I don't give a... erm, "I couldn't care less" whether a half-educated and/ or "thickish" reader would "understand" my writing, find it "compelling" or whether it would make any "impact" on him or her (I hope I'm not misgenderrymandering anybody, heh heh...). But, kidding aside - the truth is I DON'T CARE. I'm doing my writings with an educated and sharp-witted reader in mind - and if someone finds reading my comments difficult, then my advice can be summed up in a two-word sentence. (Which is "don't read", in case anyone wonders...). And yes, absolutely - I could just say that right at the beginning, but... now you know. Still, "better late then never", as my auntie used to say whenever she was late for a train... Cheers!

@@randomperson1934 Sorry, seems like I didn't get it (the joke). My first reaction was like "whaaaa...? What the eff...?" - is it some comment made by a bot "employed" to advertise that Grammarly "miracle" ("miracle" being the fact they actually make any money off it...). So I just decided to treat you to some complex sentences... and see what comes off of it. Just for fun, or for kicks - and a little linguistical exercise as well, as "practice makes perfect". ;-) Cheers!
