I would hope the asshokes that shoot from the road while drunk wouldn't be either but that's probably asking too much of the universe.

OT: I read this as 'asschokes' and was suitably amused.

Helps stabilize your toots and reduces fart bloom, right?

Fart Bloom could either refer to the fart radius (most likely) or as my weird brain thought just now, the blooming of a Fart Flower, a plant that releases fart lime fumes to deter animals. If something farts near it, it can collect the gas and store it for later use, resulting in older fart flowers having the scent of multiple species’ farts…why brain? Why did you do this? I suppose it is technically me doing this…maybe I should start a thread for weird fictional plant ideas

Wait... what happens when there is a field full of these flowers and some fleeing deer runs through the field. Would the flowers release gas fast enough to suffocate the deer or slow enough that the following predator would be caught? Are these flowers intentional or accidental carnivores? How dangerous are they for packs of wild canines?

There is something to be said about, if the stakes are as high, maybe reconsider your certitudes. One has to be aggressively allistic to feel entitled to be able to trust. But it won't happen to me, my bit doesn't count etc etc... Just saying, after my recent experiences I couldn't trust the public if I wanted to. People got their risk assessment neurons rotten and replaced with game theory. Folks walk around like fat turkeys taunting the world to slaughter them.

You know how leaves have stomata for gathering gasses for photosynthesis? We’ll Fart Flowers have a separate set of leaves for collecting fart gasses and any excess is stored in their stems

This is the kind of thing that leads up to the plot of that movie The Happening, where it turns out everybody killed themselves when they smelled all the plants farting at them.

I recall a short story written... some decades ago? Where someone released a DNA-altering virus that cranked up senses of smell massively. With exciting, mostly suicidal, results.

I real life one get used to it, quickly. And newborns would not even blink.

It would do change several things like perceiving supposed infidelities, or detecting lies or fear easier. Also drugs.

It would be useful for detecting explosives and other materials too.

I'm curious as to how a tank would evolve. Would it climb out of the primordial ooze wiggling it's track-nubs, feeding on smaller jeeps before crawling onto the shore having evolved proper treds?

In the story the problem came when humans became aware of certain intangible beings, resulting in a war

I'm rather perturbed by the implication that hypothetical extradimensional non-meat-bearing aliens would use 'omigod' in casual conversation, particularly since the notion of singing is so perturbing to them.

Notion of singing meat, specifically. Singing itself isn't perturbing.

So far as the omigod thing, they probably weren't, y'know, speaking english. It was just the closest equivalent to whatever the actual words would be.
