This would be handy in my area to know if I need to roll up the windows before driving by the potato chip production facility.

No, it does not smell like potato chips.

Rotten potatoes. Not good.

I am pretty sure it is is mostly old, used grease. Reminds me of the smell when cleaning out a fryer, but even worse.

The distillery is right next to a chicken processing plant, the smells can be pretty interesting depending on how they mix. Then further down the road is a shingle factory as well as a waste water treatment plant. It’s an interesting area to say the least.

You'd think an oatmeal plant would smell good, but it's fucking disgusting. Only factories I've ever come across that did smell good was a wonder bread bakery, and a Nestle pudding cup factory. The Nestle one was amazing, I think they made other things too cause the smell would range from berries to vanilla, and chocolate and they were all great. I didn't work there and never would because fuck Nestle, but smelling it from our factory was great.

Umm. Yeah until you work in them. I loved getting free bread from the bakery, but god we ripped a floor out and replaced an oven and cooling tower. The amount of yeast bugs 0.0

Each factory has its own little quirks.

One of my favorite places was pie factory. So many delicious smells.

On an interesting note for a bakery, we weren’t allowed in the plant on certain days, it was when they were doing their jalapeño cheese bagels. Special PPE requirements and it was just simpler to keep contractors out on those days.

Baby food factories smell good, like cookies

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago

Breweries also smell great. Similar vibe to bread.

They basically invented a new way to insult your friends.

This shall be of great use to me.

As well as a new excuse to cancel plans.

"I know we had plans, but your town has a high level of stank going on right now and all of my nose clips are dirty."

So far I have been unable to read about Bakersfield, CA, without thinking about Schwarzenegger as the Butcher of Bakersfield.

Bakersfield was pretty fucked up well before he was governor. ^/s^

[–] red_bull_of_juarez@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm referring to Running Man (1987), where Schwarzenegger's character Ben Richards is framed as the Butcher of Bakersfield.

I am aware; that's why I added the /s. 🤦‍♂️

Oh. That didn't show up on my mobile client.

Wash your dick, Soren.

Anyone who lives by farm fields or meat processing.

I foresee "Shop Apple Air". Gotta profiteer off of climate change after all.

If you've never been to Bakersfield, this is not satire, nor any kind of joke. Smelliest city ever.

[–] shapis@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago

Lived in Bakersfield a bit during the pandemic. Worst air quality I’ve ever experienced. Truly nasty.

It feels like satire, Apple is involved.... it's probably real
