Unless it's 2020, then saying "It doesn't smell like anything here" is concerning...

Hmm, why does my coffee smell like boiled water?
An actual thought I had before the penny dropped
“this doesn’t taste of anything” a disparaging remark
“I can’t feel anything” rather alarming at times
"I'm not touching anything at the moment" you're either a master of stating the obvious, or you've just made everyone in that room very fucking uncomfortable
Sharing a room with someone? Just drop a casual "Hey, I'm not gonna touch you tonight" right before going to sleep to set their mind at ease
I can't feel anything. That's what she said :(

weird how no one ever comments on the absence of smells unprompted. the nose just isn't a topic of conversation unless it's urgent huh

"it's dark in here" normal regular observation
"finally some quiet" relatable exclamation
"doesn't smell like anything in here" absolutely deranged sentence

You are awesome, please continue.
I feel like it'd be weird because it usually does smell neutral after a time. You notice smells off of your baseline but typically you're just unaware after a while.
I read somewhere it's likely an adaptation to help us notice dangerous smells. You're more successful at avoiding fire or poo (germs) etc when it stands out, which is easier when the baseline is neutral.
After a certain point you kind of get used to the smell of fire, though, too

Lemmy smells like beans
If in doubt, Meriadoc, always follow your nose.
I laughed a nugget. "It kind smells in here, huh?"
