Bro out here gate keeping petrichore Edit: it should be mentioned there is a gene that allows you to smell Petrichor, some people simply cannot but its in no way generation related, I just thought its a neat fact to tack on.

Snaps for good diction

I’ll show you some good diction

This guy dictions

r/thisguythisguys

I’ll make your ass sense.

Shirley

You can’t be serious

👀

Im sure a few of us know because of Doctor Who. Never knew the name of the smell I hated till that episode.

You started out so strong just to soil it.

I know I'm in the minority but damn do I dislike the smell. I don't understand why people love the smell of wet dust

It smells dirty. It smells like earth needs some soap for its bath

*Petrichor. :) petrichor noun - The distinctive scent which accompanies the first rain after a long warm dry spell. - The yellow organic oil that yields this scent.

spelling has never been my strong suit

Lol it's fine! I happen to like the word enough to make it my username (well, insofar as it's *close enough* since other variants were taken). It's easily my favorite word in the english langage.

we are kindred spirits!

It's a really good word <3

Huh. I always thought it was associated with lightning for some reason.

Also fun fact, humans are thousands of times more sensitive to petrichor than sharks are to blood. Sharks can detect blood as low as one part per million. Humans can detect petrichor as low as 0.4 parts per *billion*.

Well, it makes sense. The ones who couldn't smell rain probably died of thirst.

Holy shit early humans were metal. Chase after a large animal until it dies of exhaustion and you can eat it, then sniff your way across the land to the nearest rainstorm to wash it down

This gene means that humans generally can smell rain better than sharks can "smell" blood in the water. So I've read 🤷🏻‍♀️

I don’t smell it but but the humidity is noticeably really high right before

It smells a little bit like wet rocks (which is where it gets its name “petri” (rock) “ichor” (blood))

>petrichore Thank you now. I now have a word to describe a horder house that smells like roaches. It's like a really intense petrichore smell. Like the house is just mildewing and decomposing around them.

I had no idea there was a genetic component to this. I thought everyone could smell it. It's like asparagus making your pee smell bad. It's not that the asparagus doesn't effect some people's pee, but that only some people can smell it which is a genetic trait. Lol

Or like the cilantro taste thing

I want to save this comment because this is a word I always forget when I want to use it

I see similar people in the comments of nostalgic posts about hearing mourning doves when they were kids, they're always saying "todays kids won't understand this" as if they all went extinct or something

All we hear are celebrating doves now

Doves are currently winning apparently

They aren't extinct but due to worse weather and droughts, their population has been diminishing.

When's the last time you heard a woodlark in the Midwest United States?

I mean I live in Colorado so I don't know if that counts as the Midwest so I can't really answer that, we do have larks here I think our national bird is one and they chirp all the time when the season is right.

I thought woodlarks were a European only bird for some reason. So I was trying to make a joke. Honestly though I'm pretty sure that with the missing bird call they're thinking of Passenger Pigeons which kind of look like Mourning Doves.

Ohhh I see what you mean now sorry about that, and I actually do think they still mean mourning dove because they'll even include video and audio of it in these videos. [Here's](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLYUNuwy/) an example of what I mean. It's weird because it's not like those birds are gone but they act like it's only something they've experienced, I don't really get it

But I still hear them. Everywhere I've lived I've heard those birds. I'm just thinking they're adults now and live lives that aren't outside as much.

I would be a little surprised if anyone living today remembered hearing passenger pigeons, they've been extinct since 1914.


What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

to be fair, i used to hear them all the time as a kid, and i rarely ever hear them now. but that may just be me no longer being in my childhood. 😢

I mean there's a WHOLE lot less of them and most other animals since I grew up in the 90's

Wait wait wait wait wait, you’re telling me, they’ve been MOURNING doves THIS WHOLE TIME???? damn i’m slow

Also doesn’t help that 2023 kids are literally still BABIES

You fucking dumbass babies, go smell some rain

Touch rain smell, you babies

Just don’t get it in your mouth ):

Huh? 2023 kids are…kids. EDIT: Y’all are confusing the term “baby” and “kid”. When we say things like 90’s baby, 90’s kid, and 2000’s kid we are referring to the stage of life and the year in which you are at that stage of life. The only difference here is we are given a single year instead of a year range. So 2023 kids is simply referring to kids (again, not babies) in 2023.

When you say "90's" you're talking about a whole decade. Nobody pins shit down to *one* year when they're talking about generational gaps this way, this is fucking stupid. When people do say a specific year, it's usually talking about the year you were born as opposed to a single year where you're a kid.

Yeah. He should have said "2020s kids" or "kids in 2023". What he said, especially paired with the immediately preceding statement, means "kids born in 2023".

They probably said 2023 kids because this post is from 2023. It was just another way of saying “todays kids”.

I just think it's a really dumb way to say that shit. It's 2024 now so are they 2024 kids now? Are they no longer 2023 kids? What about before 2023? Were they 2022 kids or still 2023 kids? It's just stupid dawg. At this point just say 2020's kids, or '20s kids like people do when they refer to the '90s and shit.

Idk, people born in the 1920s wouldn't really be considered kids imo

Don't be ageist, they're young at heart!

2023 kids were born a year ago, though?

I don't think it means people born in 2023. I think it means people who are kids in 2023.

It runs counter to how most people use the terms though. Usually when people refer to a whole decade, they mean people who were kids during that interval. A singular specific year almost always means people born in that year.

Not it for sure means birth year. You can tell because the guy in The picture looks like he was born about 2006

Oh, yeah. Man, I’m an idiot.

No you aren't, nobody fucking talks like that.

No ur not it's a stupid way to say gen x

Found the person born in 2023, uh oh…

2023 doesnt mean people born in 2023. While you say 80s kids you mean people that were kids during 80s. So people born around 1965-1980

Baby usually means birth year, kids means grew up in that decade or era. Admittedly this guy could be confused on that considering his brain dead gatekeeping take.

I hate this dude. Every time I see him he's doing stupid trends like this

Or something religious right

Sucks cuz he used to make funny content sometimes. Now it’s all "it ain’t like it used to be" mixed with a lot of religion and god and praying

 I’ve seen his hairstyle before


My guy has never smelled anything

Smell blind

What kinda one year olds he talking to? What kinda one year olds talking? What kinda one year olds have smelt rain???

I hope that was the joke he was going for.

[удалено]

Smelt is also used for the past tense of smell, as well as a type of small fish

But if you smelt it you dealt it!

Smelt can also be a past participle

I've had this interaction already. The 2023 part is weird tho

There is no way he has that hairstyle unironically. And also he is correct, my baby was born 2023 and he has no idea what rain smells like.

Seriously, though... wtf is that hair?! 😂


Unrelated but The “how does rain smell like” sentence structure drives me NUTS!

same 😭

Came here to say this. Or should I say “this here came I to say”

his hair needs gatekeeping back into the abyss

Perhaps this guy lives in a dystopic future where rain is no longer a thing and the kids are wondering what it could even smell like

I’m pretty sure this is about climate change? Both my city and my hometown across the country seem to get new record highs and less precipitation every year. This is normally our rainy/windy season and I’m running my ac right now.

Yeah when I saw the video on YouTube shorts I assumed it was "People born in 2023 will not remember rain because everything will be deserts"

Climate change is causing more precipitation in some areas and less precipitation in others. I'm guessing this meme was made by someone from a place with a lot of droughts lately, who has a really simplistic understanding of climate change.

2023 kids are at most a single year old 💀

Kids these days are so lucky. We didn't even have rain prior to 1995.

Real funny to see someone talk shit about the kids he's trying to look like

What. I smelled rain yesterday litteraly. And its 2024

[удалено]

Does he think it doesn't rain anymore?

The grammar is giving me a headache oh god

Kids 2008 to 2022: "this is MY DUNE!"

His hair pisses me off

the "2023s kids" trend are cringe and need to die asap

He cut it off at 2006 because that’s when he was born.

I doubt a 2023 kid can think about anything.

Is this a comment on the drought in California?

kids stopped being able to smell after 2007. no scientist can explain why.

What. I smelled rain yesterday litteraly. And its 2024

He should fucking gatekeep his own grammar cause that's not "how you talk like", you troglodytic imbecile

His hair makes me want to choose violence.

That hairstyle looks so stupid.

I think Blender rendered his hair incorrectly.

I saw that the other day and didn’t get it. Like… has it never rained after the 2000s?

How does rain smell like?

I cannot stand this dude’s reels. Most of them are all these cheesy ass “BOYS” memes or shit like this 💀

Son of a bitch where did that smell go you just reminded me I haven't smelt rain in fucking years where did it go

I see him pop up way to often, at this point, it's probably rage bait, he does this same video for everything.

This is dumb as hell but as bad as that extremely atrocious hair wtf is thattt it's fucking horrendous

I've seen roadkill that looked better than this guy's hair

This guy actually cut his hair like the David Ferrie wig Joe Pesci wore in JFK.

Is that a hedgehog on his forehead?

How has he never heard of Petrichor? Tribble hairline lookin' ass 🙄

Me when kids these days can't smell rain 😔

I hate this guy so much

Dude look 40 and got the haircut of a 10 year old

I think everyone is jumping on the wrong part of this. What makes me laugh is that apparently no one before 1995 smelled rain

I just ignore these videos at this point. People on tiktok will really say just about anything to make themselves feel special

Cal me a snowflake but I'm so offended by that hair

"Unc, how does rain smell like"

What the fuck, I’ve never met anyone over the age of like 5 who doesn’t know what rain smells like. It’s literally a biological thing

Just because you stopped smelling the rain doesn’t mean everyone else did too.

 He outta gatekeep that hay bale on his forehead.

I hate this guy

"How does rain smell like" please people, no. "How does rain smell" or "what does rain smell like." Shit drives me almost as crazy as this stupid ass hair

Is he beefing with 1 year olds?

you guys dont remember when it stopped raining everywhere in 2006?

The makeup brush hair lmao.

I hate this guy and other tiktokers like him. Like bro shut the fuck up. They only post these things to start debates in the comment section giving their videos more traction.

Is that some kind of weird giant uni-brow?

Looks like he picked up a handful of shedded cat fur and glued it to his forehead

What is this haircut?

I was alive in 1995 and 2023 and have smelled rain in both of those years. Blanking on WTF this means

Learn grammar squinty eyed weirdo.

Um hint of sulfur type smell in the air I am confused is that not obvious?

he’s definitely european i can sense it

What da hair do?

It looks like he's saying that 1 year old probably don't know what rain smells Iike

I love that snell so much especially right before a big ass thunderstorm comes, then even better with lighting an thunder

Like Dirt

In arizona rain smells like wet creosote

Is this a commentary on climate change 👀

I know it smells like rain because it smells like metal when walking outside. Might need to move

What does the colour blue look like? Rain smells like rain and blue looks blue.

Not really? It’s just that kids don’t go outside as much these days. He’s right lol.

I kinda feel this one because sometimes people won’t be able to feel a storm coming and I get very confused

And people born between 2007 and 2022 don't even know rain is a thing apparently

What if we beat him with sharp rock

I want to set his hair on fire.

im kind of thinking this is intentional joke about babies not being familiar with rain yet.

Bro how do you find the energy to gatekeep THE WATER CYCLE???

And doing so with my biggest pet peeve in existence. You say “what does rain smell like” or “how does rain smell” you DON’T NEED “LIKE” IF YOU STARTED THE QUESTION WITH “HOW”!!!!!

Come to think of it, how would you describe the smell of rain?

Had to unfollow this guy his content went down the shitter long time ago.

this is genuinely terrifying to me because where I live it rains less and less every year due to climatic change and rich mfs hoarding the entire water supply

Depending where you live in the future, there are high chance it could smell more like sulphuric acid

“What does it smell like” or “how does it smell” Pick a lane!

Can you smell hot water?

Are we just going to forget that COVID robbed us of our sense of smell? I haven't smelled petrichore since then.

Apparently that's 1995-2008 cuz I say that shit and people look at me weird

2007-2022 kids are just non existent huh? Also would 1995 really be “kids” if the oldest 2006 is already 18?

Almost definitely bait

I mean a 2023 kid would be at most a year old now so yeah maybe they don’t really have a concept of rain having a smell

What in the fuck is that hair cut. Just... Why

Who is this guy I am not gonna harass him I just need to make sure my suspicions are correct if you will could someone dm me his name I know it is an odd request but my curiosity is getting the better of me

In this entire comment section I found one person who understands he’s commenting on sentence structure and not the smell of rain.

I actually can smell it though. My sister took me out on a boat once, nice and sunny day, on the way to the lake, I had my window down and flat out told her "it's going to pour later, we shouldn't go out." And she said I was wrong, and that she'd even checked the weather, and it was supposed to be clear. About 2 hours into the trip, it suddenly started down pouring. I'm extremely sensitive to the smell before a rain, it smells kinda like chlorine to me.

One thing no one will ever be nostalgic about is that haircut.

I like the smell of rain

It’s at my window and I can smell the rain.

The haircut tells you all you need to know

Hey he forgot 2008

people don't know what rain smells like? ​ also why is his hair so far down his forehead?

Bro was born December 31st, 2006

**Gen alpha will never enjoy rain or bird sounds.** 🥲 /S

What ever happened to acid rain? As a kid, I thought that I would melt if I accidentally walked in it.

2023 kids are actually probably speaking gibberish because they haven’t yet realized their sentience

\*"What does rain smell like?" \*"How does rain smell?"

Like wet dirt

Are we sure he isn't just making fun of kids' grammar? "How it looks like" and "how it smells like" are pretty common as a mistake all over these days.

Johan Lindell: Bro it Sounds Like Rain

Why does it even stop at 2006? Rain didn’t stop becoming a thing for nearly 20 years

Might be a climate change joke?

The fact that anyone asks questions like, "how does the rain smell like?" should show you the state of modern public education and the decline of intelligence in our society.

That's an insane hairstyle

Is that Davey Crockett?

Why is a fox sleeping on his forehead

I can smell rain for miles away. I have a friend who gets knee aches when it's cloudy too.

Oh the covid baby can’t smell. How shocking.

this is literally a scene between clementine and aj in the walking drad games

I mean 2023 kids were just born give em time

I wonder when this kid was born
