I dunno if it’s some kind of addictive, but AFAIK it universally smells like stinky bugs, just weaker.

Has no one ever smelled bearing grease? Even fresh it smells terrible.

I got a syringe of same looking red grease for installing a bicycle bottom bracket, (might have been for a fancy front fork?)
and it smelled vaguely sweet… like almost fructosey enough to make you imagine it was raspberry flavored.SupraMario@lemmy.world 18 hours ago
Might have been some other compound, cause straight bearing grease for cars/trucks/heavy equipment/etc doesn’t smell pleasant at all.

Try smelling used diff or transmission oil…

Diff oil is the worst, especially if it’s been heated in a catastrophuck.

Diff oil that’s been burned and over due for a change is probably one of the most vile things on the planet. Even rotting carcasses don’t match it.

different strokes and all that. I’ve never thought that.
then again I worked in a factory that used shortening as a mould release for years. that shit stinks and gets scummy after a few months. Imagine what it smells like after a few decades.
