Think about it. You have a secret ecosystem living in your pipes. Microbes, gas, and chemistry happening right under your sink. It’s like a science experiment you didn’t sign up for.
You can impress your friends at parties. “Did you know that well water bacteria breathe sulfur?” Watch them stare at you with a mix of horror and awe. You become the weird water guru.
And next time you smell rotten eggs, don’t get mad. Get curious. You are smelling the breath of ancient Earth bacteria. That stink is a message from deep underground. It’s just a very, very rude message.
So go ahead, turn on the tap. Take a whiff. Smile. You now know the secret. It’s not rotten eggs. It’s dinner for tiny aliens. And they are hungry.
