Current Events > My visual input sometimes activates my smell. Aka i can smell what i see on TV

(+) Yeah! (+)

Usually smokes/cigar or if i see someone cooking, like if the dudes on tv are sauteeing garlic, i can smell them. I am watching stronger things s3 now and when the dude is chewing gum i can smell the gum i like as a kid. It might be a placebo or some form of synesthysia dunno.

I have decoded of the prerequisites when it happens:

1. Must be strong smell
2. I must know the smell aka if that's something i don't know it will not happen
3. It triggers my memory of the specific object not the actual object in the TV so the smell is what i remember from my own memory, not the specific smell in the screen. For example with the gum example, when i see it, i smell the gums i like from my childhood, not the exact one on the screen. So i am basically reliving smell of my past when i see objects on screen that have strong associations to a smell i know.

i can smell bullshit
