@AskTheDevil Have you lost any sense of smell as you grow older or have you had COVID and temporarily lost your ability to smell? These last few weeks I could not taste or smell anything and I have not had any sign of illness, i.e., cold or COVID.

@AskTheDevil I've a few Stapelia succulents in the backyard that also produce the rotting flesh smell. Flowers are small in comparison and you have to get close to inhale aroma.

@AskTheDevil ..and from an evolution standpoint...how and why did a plant evolve to produce chemicals that mimic rotting flesh to attract flies, beetles as opposed to produce nectar to attract bees, bats....Would it be because flies and beetles are more abundant and greater chance for pollinating flower?

@AskTheDevil The smell of putrifaction is a combination of various compounds like cadaverine, putrescine, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, methane, various thiols (sulfur-containing compounds), and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which overall give it the unforgettable stench. These compounds are primarily the result of protein (meat) bacterial degradation. The rotting of plant matter smells different. You ever smell root rot?

@kellykba That looks beautiful...how did it taste?

@Avidspark While I appreciate the highly creative process.of coming up with nicknames, as it makes my tummy resonate with laughter, I doubt it adds anything of substance to the conversation of going forward. I'll try not to be part of the current political deadlock...suggest ways to move ahead.

Excellent advice going forward. I use TFG as opposed to 45 as the use of 45 reinforces that he was ever qualified to be one and dishonors the position.
