    Not only does it help from drying out, but it helps with smell too; some things are better detected with a slower airflow

      Yep, there’s a reason our noses didn’t simply evolve into a singular hole in the middle of our faces

        Two nostrils allows for stereo smells. If we only had one nostril, we would only be able to smell in mono.

        I was going to say because it would be fucking weird if we just had one big nose hole. Now I’m thinking about it, our nostrils are already pretty weird.

        I’m now looking in the mirror at my nostrils and pumping them to the beat of a song.

          Thinking about your body for too long: It’s like semantic satiation but for physiology.
