The Science Addiction Detector

*sniff sniff* BUSTED! That golden retriever just caught you red-handed with your periodic table shower curtain and constellation socks! 🐕‍🦺 Fun fact: Dogs have up to 300 million olfactory receptors compared to our measly 6 million. If they could actually detect science addiction, they'd be overwhelmed at universities! Your secret passion for quantum mechanics is safe... until the dog looks at you with THOSE EYES. They know you stayed up until 3 AM watching documentaries about black holes instead of sleeping!

That Nasty Fucker Numbs Your Sense Of Smell Before Killing You

Chemistry's most devious molecule just pulled the ultimate prank! H₂S (hydrogen sulfide) initially smells like rotten eggs—gross but harmless, right? WRONG. The truly terrifying part is when that smell suddenly disappears. That's not your nose getting used to it—it's the gas literally paralyzing your olfactory nerves before potentially killing you at higher concentrations. It's basically the serial killer of gases: "I'll make sure you can't smell me coming for you." No wonder chemists treat this stuff with more caution than experimental compounds on a Friday afternoon before a holiday weekend!
