Fun fact: The reasons is because we have a “nasal cycle”.
This results in greater airflow through one nostril with periodic alternation between the nostrils. […]
It has been shown that the cilia of the congested side suspend their motility until that side decongests. Thus the cycle ensures that one side of the nose is always moist, to facilitate humidification,
I don’t disagree with you. but bro. extra hole to fuck come on.
Oh my god I’ve always suspected this was how it worked and never bothered to look it up
I learned something today!
~actually I learned a bunch of things today but I’m excited for this one. Did you know beluga whales eat 30-60kg of fish per day? I learned that too~
Whale facts! 🐋
Some smells taken longer to smell than others. Larger molecules take longer to absorb and be smelled properly. The slower nasal passage smells these smells better and the more open nasal passage smells faster absorbing smells like alcohol.
I assumed the whole nose shape is so we don’t suffocate ourselves as babies. It’s a structural rib!
The people with one nostril died out because they could not reproduce with all the nose sex they were having
we actually have two nostrils because the brain is comparing the two air samples gathered from each nostril and discarding the worse one
It also enables us to smell the direction to the nearest pie.
I usually just close my eyes and hover while the smell pulls me to the pie with its hand like most people
~Thank you.~
For no other reason than to show how my mind wanders, I thought, it’s something about the bisymmetry of our bodies and how the cells divide… then I wondered if “bisymmetry” is a word… then I remembered that Tom Cruise’s two front teeth are offset so one tooth is in the middle of his face, for some reason.
My teeth have been like that ever since I had braces as a teenager. You can’t really tell without looking much more carefully than anyone ever would face-to-face, though.
Okay but why AI?
brings a whole new meaning to the phrase “nose job”
“try to”?
‘nasal’ is dyslexic for ‘anals’
Here I always thought it was short for nose anal
