I did this to myself as a kid. It was amazingly easy and strong. Downside was that being in the presence of the food also became nauseating (based on odor not sight). It also leached weakly into foods with similar smells. It started to diminish after about 10 years and was mostly gone in 20.
I think I once had some spoiled chocolate milk, but I don't remember getting sick from it and don't know if that had anything to do with why I don't like many forms of chocolate. (In particular, I can't stand chocolate milk, chocolate ice cream, chocolate cake, and Hershey's Kisses.)
Maybe I should try this. I can't smell.
sixlier, why do you keep creating new accounts?
What does the strikeout mean in this context?
Anyway, lots of reasons. Advertises and commits to certain behaviors (re:karma). Slightly odd behavior is useful for gauging social norms (slight perturbation of the system); best by newcomers. Weakly plays with identity (e.g., I am easy to impersonate). Weakly advertises my interests (frivolous). Weakly expresses benign intent for playful behavior (i.e., the names can clearly be linked so not trying to conceal myself; if that ever happens it would be not the reason for my doing it). May let me remain an apparent newcomer longer. Establishes pattern which can be repurposed. Other stuff. Of course, mainly because it's super easy.
It means this is the first time I've tried to delete a comment ever since the retraction system came in. I asked and then thought better of it as soon as I hit the 'post' button. Anyway, my main concern was the potential for mass voting shenanigans, although as you point out, there's nothing stopping anyone else from creating their own collection of accounts.
