Welp, feel bad for the kid whose picture was featured with this headline!
“Hey Tina, one of the stock photos you did was published as the feature image for an article in an international newspaper!”
“Really?! What was the article about? The benefits of exercise?”
“No, more like piss, cheese and a horned beast.”
I want my oxford comma back…
Goat and Urine, together, is a totally different beast than goat and urine separately.
Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?
Well, me and the people who have up voted me for starters? Why are you so angry?
I’m not angry, I overestimated the popularity of the Vampire Weekend song.
Why would you speak to me that way?

Hah, now I feel disconnected. I had never heard that song before! I like it! Sorry for accusing you of being angry.
I don’t think we needed scientists for this one haha
Better cover it up with Axe.
personally, I always used the “goat cheese and urine” axe. 10/10 smell
Goats piss on their own faces for the smellz. Goat + urine is redundant.
Also, fun fact: Lady goats have to be kept away (or at least up wind) of gentleman goats if they are being milked for commercial products. If she catches a whiff of a sexy man goat her milk will taste of horny goat pheromones (extra goaty).
Lady goats and gentleman goats. I take it those are the scientific terms. I will use them from now on.
Whoa, I already thought the mountain climbing was impressive. How do they…do that?
Ok, I can’t help but wonder what effect consuming those extra pheromones would potentially have on people. Lol
I’ve seen it firsthand, a friend started to headbutt the nearest “enemy”
We had to grab him by his horns to get him to stop
I always thought it smelled like the pickles they used when I was in middle school but now I’m wondering if the cafeteria just smelled like BO
¯_(ツ)_/¯
The pads from the teenagers’ armpits had two steroids present – 5alphaandrost-16-en-3-one and 5alphaandrost-16-en-3alpha-ol – which smell of sweat, urine, musk and sandalwood. They also had higher levels of six carboxylic acids, which give off unattractive smells including cheese, goat and wax.
But why do these smell like that or is that a subjective experience? I am thinking either thesd steroids can be found in all the things it smellls like or we can go deeper to locate what is really creating smell.
I cant be the only one annoyed when they say smell like goar/urine when neither is actually involved, May equally say goats smell like teenage human sweat, its not science.
They isolate the chemicals they want to test for smell through extraction/synthesis/purification and then have a professional smeller identify what scents that particular chemical matches.
They can also compare the isolated chemicals to known scents containing the same chemicals.

What this means is that two steroids (5alphaandrost-…) found in teens’ armpits are also found in sweat, urine, musk, and sandalwood. The 6 carbolic acids are also found in cheese, goats, and wax.
So to answer your question: not subjective. This is objective, reproducible evidence.
We have catalogued many chemicals and what they smell or taste like. You can thank the perfume industry for a good portion of the smell based science. A lot of flavor based research exists, as well. Unfortunately some of that research was done for sick purposes like finding out how to engender craving or how to make the body ignore chemical signals that it is full and it is time to stop earing. But I digress.
Thank you for informing where the article failed me <3.
What did teenagers say about scientists to provoke this? They can be pretty cruel.
They didn’t have to do a study about this. I can prove it just by letting them get a whiff of my kids’ room in the morning.
I have a 17 year old son, it’s true. Lots of goat aromas in here.
Thanks science

I remember. I think my uncle has PTSD from the time before I discovered Mitchum clinical strength deodorant.

BO smells like bad chicken soup to me
What sort of terrible chicken soup have you been eating?
Campbells
