Let me give another example:
Traveling from Central Europe to Southern Europe to spend your holiday. In 1980/1990 you had to clean your windshield a couple of times when driving there.
Not any more.

Most smells do not travel 50 feet.
I have to counter that in my experience most, if not all smells travel 15m. When the wind is right that increases massively.
One more example for your kitchen analogy, albeit coming from a different direction, is probably the smell of Durian.
When you first encounter the smell, you experiences pretty intensive stench - maybe like rotten meat. When you manage to get over it and eat it a bunch of times it does not stink for you anymore. You still recognize it’s a very intense smell, but it’s not stench anymore.
However, for everyone else unfamiliar with it it still stinks like hell.
I assume people just can’t identify the smell of cockroaches until they learned it? Similar to people being oblivious to the smell of marijuana when not familiar with it.
I’m not sure I would recognize the smell of roaches if I didn’t keep them as food for other animals. Stinky little buggers.
I don’t get it. Care to explain?
I guess the tree branch needs to start somewhere, but why leave out amphibians?
I was replying to a (now gone) post on how Kelvin is for science, Fahrenheit for humans ,and Celsius is useless. It should give a perspective how to get from Kelvin to Celsius, not give a wildly off-topic history lesson.
You put a normal Celsius thermometer next to it and apply maths.
Did it never occur to you that Celsius is basically Kelvin with the zero point moved to human reference?
Human reference because >50% of our body is water. We are essentially water bags.
Scholars seem to agree it stems from Proto-Indo-European, so Latin is not the source.

It can be spelled the same but is never pronounced the same. Your girlfriend needs to be texting you for this joke to work.
I disagree with tax & rent being lumped together. I have no problem with my (high) tax rate as it supports education, infrastructure, etc. The outrageously inflated rent goes to the same guy that stole 95% of your pizza in the first place.
Bulgaria, where toasters go to die. 🙂
Sure, but some are more likely than others. I was hoping for a game of guessing and upvoting.
Let’s have a guess what country that guy lives in. 😉 The post with the most upvotes wins.
Commendable that she does this but sad that this is even necessary.
Isn’t that a classic too? As in your mouth runs off and your brain trails behind. Later you ask yourself wtf you just said. I hate when that happens, especially during job interviews.
FiskFisk33 already answered it. It’s about speaking vs. writing/ using language.
On a serious note (and thereby killing the joke completely): doesn’t everyone know the situation where you can’t get the word out that may be very well in your head?
Same in Europe.
