My brother explained skatole to me once, and I remember the balancing act he had to perform to explain that he’s not saying my shit smells good in particular, but that it shares a certain quality with the odor of flowers. . But not a good quality, mind you.
I appreciated the compliment.
This is one thing that had held me back from building/working with computers for a living. I would be a natural fit for the job, but I don’t want to ruin one of the only technical things I enjoy doing in my freetime.
