While people associate sulfur with the odor from rotten eggs

I didn't realize it wasn't white people until I read your comment.
It’s too late and I’m too many beers in to look this up, but I’d bet my next beer on the word pair ‘white people’ being considerably more prevalent than ‘while people’, especially around here. So you’re not necessarily in need of coffee, your brain is just doing its job—matching patterns and saving you fractions of a calorie to not have to actually pay attention to the letters.
As a white person currently drinking beer I agree with this.
But the real question is do you, as a white person, associate sulfur with the odor from rotten eggs?
I don't. I associate sulphur with natural gas or untasty drinking water.
This is indeed a huge discovery! All Curiosity now needs are saltpeter, charcoal, diamonds, and a nice bamboo cylinder.
I love this comment so effing much! ❤️
Raw mineral deposits were also all over the surface of the earth before we mined them for convenience. It's how the first humans made metal tools before we could mine for it
