↳“This is new for me. I didn’t have a moment to deal with anything, you know? I had a little calm in Wakanda. And other than that, I just went from one fight to another for 90 years.”
This is from the book "What I Mean When I Say I’m Autistic" by Annie Kotowicz! (x)
[ID: A paper book with section title: "Power Move". It wasn't until my thirties that I learned some people correct factual errors as a power move. That explains why teachers rarely appreciated it when I pointed out their mistakes - they saw it as an attempt to usurp their authority. I also got similar reactions from classmates, colleagues, and others whose authority was equal to mine, because they assumed I was flexing on them.
Nothing could be further than the truth. For me, showing someone where they're wrong feels like keeping them safe from the consequences of their mistake. It's a collaborative pursuit of truth, not a power move. End ID]
im a lil high and i have cilantro soap questions
if cilantro tastes like soap to some people why is it such an uncommon soap scent? I feel like things that taste like soap should be soap
before soap existed what did the soap gene cavemen say cilantrussy. hang on i have to stop this mid sentence because my phone autocorrected cilantro to cilantrussy which means i have previously typed that word out enough for my phone to think it’s a word and more of a word than cilantro. i have some inward reflection to do.
Okay so this is what I know. The only gene they've isolated so far in people repulsed by cilantro is a gene that makes people hypersensitive to aldehydes, a chemical compound frequently found in perfumery.
So "tastes like soap" could mean that cilantro tastes like the smell of aldehydes used in the fragrance of some soaps. Fragrances often have dozens of ingredients, and people with aldehyde sensitivity are more likely to notice this part of the soap fragrance.
Perhaps people who like cilantro don't smell cilantro in soap because they don't have the gene that allows them to pick that smell out in a (complex) soap fragrance.
However. Cilantro doesn't taste like soap to everyone who has the gene.
To me, cilantro tastes like bugs.
Specifically, it tastes the way stinkbugs smell when you startle or crush them. (wiki describes their smell as "oily, dusty, woody and earthy, and like coriander" which is another word for cilantro)
And the reason these bugs smell/taste bad is because they use similar aldehydes to cilantro to make a "don't eat me I'm poisonous" scent that will repulse predators.
So for question 2, cavemen didn't have soap, but they did have stinky bugs and having a gene that would help you sniff them out could be helpful. So I guess cilantro smelled like bugs to cavemen. Now that we use aldehydes in soap, it smells like soap.
BTW you can apparently train your brain to like cilantro by eating it more frequently and associating it with pleasant dishes. I haven't tried this yet though. Because... bugs.
im sure someone else has mentioned this in the tags also, but the etymology of coriander, ancient greek koriannon (i think), is a combo of the words for "bed-bug" and "fragrant anise" so like. ancient greeks didnt say it smelled like soap, they said it smelled like herbal bugs. which. yeah. exactly. cavemen presumably said similarly
