  Or poliester fleece or blanket when you hear little sparks.
  Some will remember playing with a CRT TV screen 👀

    I remember the feeling and the sound, but not scent.

      Smells kinda dry and vaguely fishy/metallic.

      Should be noted however that it’s not very healthy to breathe it in and large and/or repeated exposures can cause respiratory damage. Some static electricity is probably fine but I don’t want to encourage someone to go out there and learn what it smells like first hand

    When I first started learning how to weld, I always wore a respirator because a lot of the fumes can be dangerous. So anyway, we come back to the shop after our lunch break and my first thought was damn, what’s that smell?
