SCIENTISTS EXPERIMENT WITH SELF-MADE CHEESE
Have you ever sweated so much and not washed for a day and discover that you smell? Or that you can grow your own cheese in your belly button, armpit, toe and even in your mouth? The Science Gallery Dublin in Trinity College Dublin decided to experiment with human cheese. The smelly, self-made kind. They focused one of their exhibits on self made cheese. It was called Grow Your Own…Life After Nature. Now, you can experiment with this too. Millennials do it when their parents aren’t holding their hands. Or maybe they even do it then, too. But who really knows what Millennials think.
CHEESE SMELLS LIKE SWEATY ARMPITS
These scientists experimented and then exhibited microbial sketches of cheeses coming from human samples. Each of the cheeses smell like the donor’s body odor. The team took samples from body parts, such as toes and belly buttons and identified the microbes using various scientific methods. Then they began to make the self-made cheese.
MILLENNIALS THINK IT’S A THINKING CHEESE
Adding milk to the samples helped in the cheese curdling process. The scientists would then separate the clumps and allowed them to age with yeast, in order to make many different varieties of stinky cheese. It’s a little gross, but the possibilities are intense. But consider that these aren’t cheeses for eating. They are a thinking cheese. Thinking about your belly button, toes and armpits, and the many bacteria humans acquire. This is what Millennials think about.
A BELLY BUTTON MAKES CHEESE LINT TOO
The scientists explained that the “stinkiest of cheeses are hosts to species of bacteria closely related to the bacteria responsible for the characteristic smells of human armpits or feet”. This made many people very uncomfortable and grossed out. But the reality is that self-made cheese is a possibility for everyone with a belly button and other fun parts. That pretty much sums up millennials, right?
