This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I simultaneously want to and don’t want to know what a “sexual odor of swine” smells like.

It’s like when your good buddy says “hey smell this”, you never know what you’re in for, but you’re intrigued.

It's called taint.

When you kill a sexually developed male pig they often release musk and sweat. So it smells like going into a room where a couple just did it.

I used to raise Blue Butts (variety of pig) and have the butcher come once a year after auction to cut them up. The Musk smell isn't that bad unless done in an enclosed area.
