Weapons Grade Stink Bomb
from the whatever-works dept
Apparently a bunch of scientists are trying to figure out what the worst smells are so they can make a stink bomb. It sounds like a joke, but apparently, they're serious. They're trying to figure out which smells automatically cause people to run away, so that it can be used to disperse crowds. The biggest concern seems to be figuring out how to "contain" the odors until they're ready. I'd hate to be the "smell tester" on that project.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

fun smells...
Also buteric acid... you know... vomit. Had a prof in hs that would dose a filter pad with it and then drop it in the locker of the kid he hated the most... on monday, he'd come in early and remove the filter pad (teachers have the locker combos)... meanwhile everything in the kid's locker smells like a frat house after homecomming without the incriminating mess.
