  • 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.

    Is there a difference between 19, 20, and 21 Celsius?

    Yes, as anyone that’s ever worked in an office can tell you.

    Edit: Apparently I was expecting too much cognitive ability / common knowledge so let me be clearer: Generally women prefer it warmer (>20), men like it cooler (<20). It’s a very common office discussion.
