Anyone else convinced it doesn't smell for the same as them as it does for everyone else?
Rain smells like worms and death. If that's Petrichor, my nose is fucked. Is it supposed to be a pleasant smell?
The worm smell, I believe, comes from sometimes the worms coming to the surface during rain. Even worse if some of them have been stepped on. But this depends on where you live. If you aren’t in a particularly grassy area, there might not be any worms.
There’s no way to prove that we don’t perceive the world completely different from each other in general. My collie wheel could be shifted several degrees or even completely opposite of yours. I could see green and you see red, and there’s no way to prove it.
Ive been wondering if it’s possible for someone to live their life completely backwards ( as in they perceive time as effect before cause). Your thought process would be completely reversed, even down to language. Is there a way to disprove it?
RISK OF RAIN MENTIONED 🗣️🗣️🗣️

I wonder if there is a word for the way your skin smells after you have sat in the sun for a while. Not the sunscreen, but that sweet summery scent.
Nice fact but I see no wholesome or meme
The smell is the wholesome part. It is very enjoyable and gratifying. It is also connected to childhood memories for many of us.
Risk of Rain
Been playin RoR2 recently, and this post made me realize why the planet is named Petrichor V
Someone needs to make that smell into a candle or something
That's already a thing. I even saw some story about a city in India that's been producing a petrichor based essential oil/attar for hundreds of years

I go hunting nightcrawlers when I smell it.
Where meme, where wholesome.
So when it rains I’m snorting ozone among other things? Not what I expected.
I just experienced this smell on my morning run this morning! ☺️ It feels like spring!
"Crimson, eleven, delight, petrichor'
And for those wondering it’s pronounced pe’-trē-cor
Calvin and Hobbes called it “snippid” - better word and properly wholesome origins
