Vanillin is actually a pretty cool substance. You can make it out of everything

That's actually true. From what I've read about 85% of Vanillin is made from crude oil

Especially gasoline. Vanillin can and is being made from petroleum. Most of it actually is being made from petroleum.

The other main way of synthetically making Vanillin is from Lignin which is way more sustainable and a byproduct of the paper production.

It can really be made from a lot of things since it's a realativly simple compound.

I started typing a response. Then I thought "If I've misremembered this, I'll look like a madman." So, I looked it up again: beavers' anal glands: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/beaver-butt-goo-vanilla-flavoring

Instead, now you look well-read in beaver anal glands. ๐Ÿ˜

Well thats just another crack in the egg-shell.

Self discovery is wonderful and can come from anywhere. Separately, this meme format is reduction and sexist, so relying upon the information in it might be a bad idea. Good luck figuring things out ๐Ÿค

New gas smells bad, 2000 era was the best shit ever

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

I'm not crazy about vanilla candles.

The only person I've known to absolutely love the smell of fuel is actually a woman.

Mmm, hydrocarbons.
My favorite is when the ground crew leaves the jetway door open, letting you get whiffs of sweet sweet Jet A while waiting to board.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Its smells like global warming.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Petrol? maybe. Diesel smells horrible, on the other hand.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

And what if you like both?
