You know that nasty smell on the roads right as it starts raining? Yeah, that’s not only asphalt smell, that’s also tire dust, brakepad dust, exhaust particles, random oil/antifreeze/etc leaks, basically anything cars can inadvertently shed, and absolutely none of that is healthy for anyone… 💀
Yeah, the title is funny. May? So far we thought it’s all good and tasty? 🤦♂️
Sometimes I can’t resist. Moment it starts raining I sprint to the highway to lick the roads, with an uncontrollable hunger.
That’s called pica, and it’s an actual disorder
Amateur hour over here. I set my cruise control, then lean out of my door and place my tongue on the pavement.
We all live in the coal mines.
Yeah, when it first rains after a hot dry summer you can see the white foam streaming down the streets 🤮
