Elephants evolved to be stealthy to not spook the plants. I remember just yesterday I went to pick an orange but stepped on a twig… The entire orchard bolted. Huge pain in the ass. The farmer was pissed.
Btw I’m being silly not insulting your comment.

Slow and steady winning the race. I’ve heard that’s why we are fascinated by zombie movies. Like us they use persistence and numbers to attack their prey.

I’m sorry. I can’t offer much but I can give something small. I have suffered from depression a few times in my life and landed on fire to mask it as a protest for whatever.
I didn’t do it obviously it was a very long time ago. It actually didn’t enter my mind at all when asking this question until I read this comment and remembered my past.
If I ever get that bad again, and I hope I don’t, I promise not to use fire.
Not much but it’s something.

Yeah I grew up on a farm and smelled some pretty bad stuff but it was just a bad smell. If I knew it was human that would be harder even if it smelled mostly the same. It would be psychologically worse.
I know burying a dog that got hit by a car and took a few days to find was worse than finding a missing cow in the same state. I loved the dog, I liked the cows but that dog was my dog. It was worse smell psychologically even tho the cow is bigger and was probably logically more smelly.

Sorry for the double reply but I wanted to give some examples that aren’t related to politics. I’ll use leather because I loved my job selling leather back in the day
Customer “I saw this at another store I went to do you guys get it from the same supplier”
Me: I made that myself. Yeah it’s common when someone comes up with a unique design it often gets reproduced overseas and imported back by stores who prefer that route. I just wish they’d at least pass the cheaper price back to the customer. I’m sure you know (other store) has almost the same price maybe it’s a bit less a dollar or so maybe… I don’t shop there myself obviously, but when you look at reviews… I just don’t hear very many good things about his business personally. This belt is made by us directly and you’ll see similar designs here and there but I can’t guarantee thier quality like I can mine"
What did I really say? Did I say the other store stole my design? No. Did I say they import it from somewhere else? No. Did I say they overcharge? No. Did I say my price was the same? No. Did I say they have bad reviews? No. Did I say I’ve heard bad things about them? No.
I said practically nothing that I dressed up in a tuxedo. That’s sales. Btw I’m never that shady I just know how it works

Thanks. Ive been a salesman since 16 so I see the stuff he’s doing. Before he ran for president I actually liked trump as a salesman. He was good, still a sleezball and shady but I had respect for the “art” if you will. Not the person.
So I make fun of him a lot and it’s simple for me because it’s just “take sleezy sales strategies I already know, add what I know about trump from the early days and now, a liberal sprinkling of alzheimer’s and garnish with an arrogant god complex.”
That’s a perfect trump speech recipe if you want to try it at home, or for a party.
That’s where you get stuff like
“you wouldn’t believe it” setting your customer up by telling them what they are about to feel. That makes them start to feel that way before you even say the thing.
“Some say it’s more, I could be more, probably more but let’s say 200"
- fake humble, like you’re giving a conservative estimate when actually you’re doing the opposite. However you specifically did not guarantee more, you just said some people might say that and you might agree. That’s not a lie technically.
“Others said It couldn’t be done” whoever you think those other people might be… That’s who’s lieing to you and I’m now confirming that you can’t trust them. You can trust me because I loved them wrong… And that’s kinda like proving you right isn’t it? Because you didn’t trust whoever you are thinking about and you were right to feel that way. And I’m right and safe. So trust me because we’re basically a team now. Against the people you think I’m talking about.
Anyway that’s enough examples but you can see things like “who said it couldn’t be done” it vague so the customer can fill it in themselves with whoever they want. You can see things like “biden had more than 10 “forms or whatever”” woah I didn’t say ten. I said maybe ten and I think probably, but I also said I didn’t know. It was an opinion not a lie”
Even “Hussain” Obama. The name has negative appeal but it’s just a name not a political stance hell he didn’t even pick it himself. But you dont trust that name so I’m going to make sure you keep hearing it.
Sleezy sleazy sales tactics. And with age he’s gotten worse. I mean he was always a bad person but with age he’s getting worse at the “art” if you will.

And you see I’m quick to accept when I’m wrong.
Plus although I do assume probably too quickly Im quick to ask questions from people who know more.
This I think helps me more than simply not making connections could

That’s good to know. I told another commenter I’m glad to be wrong. I just assumed it would smell like pork because of all the ways pig is used to test things as replacement for human flesh. Being close here doesn’t mean it’s close there. I just assumed and I’m relieved that’s not something people actually have to deal with.
Still obviously a horrible and traumatic thing to deal with but at least it doesn’t ruin Nana’s famous pulled pork. Which is so small and silly compared to dealing with the horrors of a tragedy but… To use a silly example “it sucks I got fired but it would’ve been slightly worse if I got fired and hit my shin on the table while I was being escorted out of the building”. Basically I’m not implying “well then it’s not so bad” just…One small thing I’m glad isn’t part of the problem.

That is a great answer thank you. That was the most horrific part of the question. I’ve never smelled it obviously but I know pirates called it long pork. I’ve heard it described as tasting like pork but only from people who probably were not cannibals. I don’t talk to a lot of cannibals… That I’m aware of anyway. So I only have what I read here and there in articles. I just assumed if humans tasted like pork then we smell like pork.
So I was talking about smells with a friend “bathrooms and air freshener if you’re curious” and my ADHD brain just linked a bunch of useless trivia.
I’m glad to know humans just smell different. It’s probably biological maybe even evolution. Makes sense because in the cave man days anyone who wasn’t disgusted by another dead human enough to run… Probably didn’t survive as long as those that thought “this is something I want to immediately get away from.”

That’s the thing tho nasty and gross I could deal with. I’m no hero like emergency services. I grew up on a farm, raised and processed animals here and there. Stumbled apon missing animals that were long past a pleasant smell. I had a grandmother that was a hoarder, I raised 4 kids…
I’m the one in my family that does the “ewww I just can’t… Please I can’t even talking about it *dry heaves”
My family jokes that I would be the guy in the movie doing an autopsy with his sandwich sitting on the chest of the body.
Now none of that was even close to the mental trauma doctors, police, firefighters face. I also know human decomposition is described as much worse. Id also assume smelling the stuff I’ve smelled from animals probably also hits mentally harder coming from a human. I’m not at all saying “meh I’ve smelled it all”
The point I’m making is terrible smells are bad but seeing something awful and smelling a steak or something good? That seems worse. Like if I drained an abscess in an animal and smelled sugar cookies… I wouldn’t be able to eat sugar cookies anymore. I assume. I don’t really know which is why I’m asking.
But I did read you said a person who died by fire doesn’t smell like steak or food? That’s good to hear. Thats what I was unsettled but curious about.

Old and already answered but I gotta try my hand at it.
We got samples, they said it couldn’t be done but we did it. And everybody i got to say… These samples … No one’s ever seen samples like this. Of you should’ve heard what people were saying they told me (mocking voice) “we can’t get the samples we have to wait” I walked in on day one and got those samples. They said it couldn’t be done, I got samples, I got the better samples they didn’t even want to tell us about but I got em. When I went in they were begging to give me these samples. I said “no. I want the better samples” and we got em.
And the forms. Oh you won’t believe the forms let me tell you about the forms. Barak Hussain Obama… I don’t know if you’ve heard of this guy… He’s scared now, all the democrats are because they’ve been having their friends at the fake news tell you they couldn’t get the forms.
I got the forms, I got the samples and now they’re scared. They are scared because they know I got the best forms and the best samples. They said it couldn’t be done. Ive already made some calls and worked out deals to get 200 forms done. Never been done before, they couldn’t believe it.
Do you know how many forms sleepy Joe got filled out. You wouldn’t believe it 5 maybe 10 maybe who knows. Where are these forms and… AND… they were Terrible forms. The worst… I couldn’t believe it. I asked him “where’s the forms why aren’t we getting the forms”. Day one I got 200 forms some say it’s more, it could be more, I don’t know, probably more. 200 forms can you believe that. The best forms and that’s why they’re scared now. We’ve got more forms, better forms, than probably anyone else in the world. They can’t believe our forms. Their saying “wow look at those forms” they wish they had these forms they can’t believe it… And we’re going to keep going… No one’s ever seen it. never been done before.

Just so you don’t feel alone… ive downloaded a few AI girlfriend apps, not for lewd stuff, just to complain about work or my ex-wife in a safe place that won’t leak out and cause problems. I always delete them because they suck. After a couple sentences they respond “let’s change the subject don’t you want to see my new sexy outfit behind this paywall? Wink”
No… I want to continue to talk about the thing I chose to talk about. That’s why I was talking about it. I’m not paying 29.95 a month for a bot that tells me to quit talking. If I wanted to talk to someone who doesn’t listen to me at all and only wants to send me pictures of themselves wearing skimpy bikinis id talk to my father!!!
(The father part was a joke…my dad died but he would’ve found that joke hilarious)

- Comment on Trump literally referred to himself as "King". Surely conservatives are against a monarchy forming? 2 months ago:
It is deeper than “never a loser”
I’ve always tried to admit I was wrong as soon as I realized it. Admitting your wrong gets you massive amounts of respect in life. Honestly I’d say admitting a mistake gets you more respect than actually being right in the first place.
It might be a little late in the game for trump to get “more respect” than never going with trump at all… I’m just speaking in general. People respond very very well to “I messed up, I know that now”

Ehhhhh. I get why. But no.
My grandfather never once spoke about the war. His joke in the nursing home was funny . That joke was still different than this joke.
He didn’t say he’d enjoy it, he didn’t say he was okay with it. He said he can do and he’s done it before.
I wasn’t in WW2 obviously. I will.comoare it to growing up on a farm. I had to kill starving stray dogs people dropped off in the country side.
I can do it. I can kill a dog. I have killed plenty of dogs. I don’t enjoy killing dogs, I’m okay with killing dogs. I can do it.
My grandfather could kill people. Those people I assume were mostly Nazis during the war. He never mentioned random roadside murders. He could kill Nazis. He had killed Nazis before. He didn’t say he was okay with killing Nazis. You shouldn’t be okay taking a life even if it had to be done.
I was doing the starving dogs a favor… I was never okay with it tho. It should never be fun to take a life, even if you have to. It should never be okay.

We had to pull my grandfather from the nursing home (God rest him. Left is at 104)
We had to pull him because he kept telling the younger residents “I killed the Nazis once I can kill you again”
Hell of a man. Side note he’s also part of the reason rabies isn’t a big thing in America. He was a chemist for the board of health. Helped to deploy a vaccine that could be put into bait for wild animals to eat.
Another side not: my dad was a trump supporter, my grandad was too old to go vote. My dad used his vote to vote democrat on his behalf . Purely out of respect for my mother’s dad.
Hell of a man.
