Reply to comment by Thelgow in TIL Why Dog Paws Smell Like Fritos. Even the cleanest, healthiest pooch has trillions of bacteria and fungi living on their skin. That yeasty, corn chip smell is actually a normal byproduct of harmless bacteria, usually Proteus or Pseudomonas, both of which are naturally present in our environment. by Rossknight65

A fritos smelling sock is about as good as socks get. Your wife should know she is ahead of the game lol.

We are just different animals. Cats feet don't smell like fritos either and they are in same environment barefoot. It is just a doggo thing.

Our dogs rarely bathe and wear no deodorant but their armpits don't smell because they don't sweat. Just different animals, that's all :)

For real. I think some people have dogs just to check a box, and don't really care to cuddle or spend time with them. I want my dog close to me on the couch and in my bed at all times. Some people have furniture rules but I sure hope they put in time playing and cuddling with the poor dog, because not being allowed to be in the pack is a very lonely existence for a dog.

Fungal odors on human feet are very pungent and unpleasant. Corn chip socks are much more likely to be from healthy sweat bacteria.

A luxury we allergy-free superhumans can enjoy. My inferior brother who is allergic to cats and dogs and pretty much everything with fur would cringe at the thought. I like to take a handful of fluff from my pomeranian mix and rub it all over my eyes..."Hey bro, does THIS bother you?"

My Pom has some poodle in him so he is delightfully hypoallergenic but I still like to torture my older brother. Really I should be holding him down and rubbing cats all over his face for all the years or torment and bullying I endured during his regime as the oldest brother :P

Reply to comment by BabyTRexArms in TIL the best time to get your vehicle undercoated is actually in the spring/early summer. The salt from wintery roads is not as much of a culprit as damp and humid days are. by HeySquirrelFriends

There may be bad side effects, but those roads and sidewalks would be FAR more treacherous without the road salt, no? Do you live in an area where everyone has tire chains? I guess that would make the salt less-needed.

​

I always think about all the damage salt does (especially since my job is to fix parking garages - which get destroyed by road salt) but I always wonder how the heck we could live without it because society would come to a screeching halt when snow hits in my area without it. Would love an alternative but it seems far away.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL after a seizure left him paralyzed except for his left eyelid, Jean-Dominique Bauby (1952-1997) wrote the bestselling book "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" by blinking to select each letter as an assistant recited the alphabet to him. by chumloadio

It took a while for them to realize he was cognizant behind that one blinking eyelid. Once they realized he was awake they quickly devised a way to communicate. Once communication was established I am sure s lot of different discussions came up, including the book.

I am on your side. I also think it makes sense. That's why I don't get why that guy responded to you like you were drinking the conspiracy Kool-aid when you were kinda doing the opposite - being rational and applying deductive logic to what appears to be a "too-crazy" coincidence.
