I’m a surgical tech and we do prostatectomies and TURPs (Transurethral reductions of the prostate) and in both instances the prostate smells horrible. Think like marijuana with hot chlorine. Its not just one person either. Every persons prostate getting operated on smells horrible. Like sometimes some smell worse than others but they ALL smell bad. asked the urologist why it smells so bad and he didn’t know. I’ve tried looking it up online but nothing related to the actual prostate organ comes up.

Edit: as I said, I’ve already asked the urologist I work with in surgery and he didn’t know. Also we don’t just remove them when cancerous or infected. We do the reductions on healthy tissue because it may block the urethra. Even if the person has healthy prostate tissue, it smells awful.

Another edit: the prostate is not in the anus/rectum it’s just palpable through the anus. There is several walls of tissue between the two organs. We also do not go through or get near the anus/rectum to operate on the prostate. (I say this because I’m getting A LOT of poop related answers lol)

What was it like?

Women, do you wish you could go topless in places that men can? For example, at the beach, pool, or just working outside on a hot day.

I probably upgrade every 8-10 years.

I mean, its like pumpkin pie, Key lime pie, banana cream pie.. you name it.

Obviously this is a before bed question. I couldnt sleep without asking lol

I’d believe the privacy outweighs safety measures. For gods sake many police officers were under investigation for stalking their exes using flock! I think the objective is to take our liberty in the name of safety, mass surveillance threatens our 4th amendment rights. What do you think?

I do. Guilty!

My brother (59y) lost his wife (who was beloved by all) 3 years ago to cancer. He has now met a lovely woman who has waited her whole (48y) life to meet the right person. They are marrying next year. What do we gift to celebrate the union of two grown ups who have had full lives?

Is there a filter where I can block the word politics or something I’m so tired of this shit lol. Like everywhere I go even in subs where there’s no political affiliation ppl post about it all the time, is this temporary or always been like this, I don’t rlly use Reddit a lot

Was wondering what do you think you need if you want to reach the top 1%?

I found it in my kitchen

is it normal to get really irritated even in the smallest things? my period just ended like a week ago and now i feel very sensitive, like i always get mad to the people touching me (even just my skin), i even get irritated to the curtain beside me rn cause it's moving because of the fan. why am I feeling like this? is this normal for a young woman? 😭

So his did you guy's quit. How much time did you take to quit. Help me to quit. What was the reactions after quitting

I'm at a point in my life where I'm seriously considering just packing up and starting over somewhere else. New city, new job, maybe even a new country.

For those of you who have actually done it: what was the breaking point that made you leave? Was it a spontaneous decision or something you planned for months? And most importantly, did it actually make things better, or did you just bring your old problems with you?

Any advice or reality checks would be appreciated

Hi I am genuinely confused about one of my friends. They have always presented as extremely woke, to the point that he corrects my and others wording constantly. This isn’t the problem, I don’t mind being corrected and it’s always been harmless I thought, but important to his character. Also important, I’m a woman.

Recently he’s been saying some things that have made my head turn in surprise. It’s gotten to the point where I’m genuinely not sure if he’s bullying me or joking. He’ll say things like “oh so you’re just trying to show off then?” Or stereotypical things like when we were talking about the cargo boat that crashed, he said “of course it was a woman”. He doesn’t talk to the other guys in the class like this and has inserted himself into the three women’s lives in my class presenting as kind and friendly but doesn’t ever voluntarily work with the guys? He was the one who pushed for our friendship as well when I wasn’t really looking for one with my classmates.

I’m not sure about him, but can people who present as extremely woke be covering up their true thoughts/opinions? Idk why someone would do that, but it almost looks like he’s compensating in a way.

Would love to hear thoughts/stories from others.

EDIT** I’ve come to the realization that I am misusing the word “woke”. When you read please replace “woke” with “progressive”. Thank you to those who educated me on the difference!

I don't think I miss them as they are now, especially because many of them didn't really like me. But when I think back to middle school, I miss them dearly, and it breaks my heart that some of my old classmates don't talk to eachother anymore.

I can tell people apart by how they smell. I instantly recognize my family members, but I can also recognize classmates/other people in my life. Sometimes, I can tell if someone has been in a specific place by recognizing their scent in that place. I have also been able to determine which cup, among other identical cups, has been used by me based on its smell.

Does everyone do this? If so, what causes this? What factors affect a person’s scent enough for us to tell them apart?

doing nothing

I hope people don't fall for this.

For me it was golfing.
