  “What’s your mutation? Teleportation? Laser Eyes? Weaponized Tornadoes?”

  “…I can smell bees…. how about yours?”

  “Oh… well… my mutation is that cilantro tastes chalk to me.”

    I was born with 2.5 kidneys, an extra ureter and 4 of my permanent teeth never showed up. Also mild colour vision deficiency.

    I was talking about it with our first lieutenant in the army and he went “Corporal, you’re a mutant!”. “Yes, sir, I am sir.”

    God soap cilantro just sucks. I really wish people knew it tastes like gross to like 3-21% of the world population.

    I just wish it wasn’t automatically in anything Mexican. I just want to taste what other people taste. :(

      The weirdest thing happened when I was recovering from covid. I couldn’t really taste much, but cilantro suddenly had a perfume-like scent. It eventually went back to normal after I recovered, but I definitely have a healthy level of sympathy for people who taste soapy cilantro now

      Exposure therapy works for this. You can still detect the chemical that made it taste that way, but the brain can rewire to perceive it as pleasant. If you’re serious about fixing the problem, start by adding small amounts to dishes and work your way up as your tolerance changes.

        That just sounds like brainwashing yourself to make something taste ‘good’ when it’s not. See Alcohol, black coffee, etc.

      How do you know that cilantro taste like soap and not soap tastes like cilantro.

      All I’m saying is that cilantro doesn’t taste that good and some soaps spell amazing.

  The mortality ratio of that school gives me pause.

  Also, so many old white guys hanging on the wall.
