Hahaha, it doesn't burn enough to smell like bacon. In the old days, families would gather for the traditional pig slaughter; there is a part of the process known as chamuscado or flameado (singeing). Its purpose is to remove any remaining bristles, disinfect the skin, close the pores, and make the subsequent scraping easier so the meat ends up clean and fit for consumption. So, it’s a smell of burning hair that everyone recognizes; that’s why people say that when someone burns their hair.

Exactly, I wouldn't get that close... and here's the funny part: in my region, when you singe your hair, people say it "smells like gochu quemao," which means... "smells like burnt pig."

Yeah, it does look very hot there. The AI jazzed up the Lava Fields with actual flowing lava. That may be a safety hazard, lol

oh wow. You don't get that smell when you get bacon and pork from the grocery store, lol. Thank goodness!

Really cool, though it must be so hot there—I wonder if his whiskers will get singed.

Wonderful Catz ! 🤩👏✨ Next how about "Aokigahara forest" in Japan.
@CaylaCatz · Jul 20, 2026
Sure, I can do that tomorrow

gross. Well actually burnt pig doesn't smell that bad -- like burnt bacon. Burnt hair smells a lot lot worse
