The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

This seems entirely testable
I don't think either of you will be able to smell each other because eating 2000 lbs of garlic will surely kill you.
yes because everyone's internal microbiome causes differing smell profiles
Even twins will have slight divergences due to the difference in the occupancy of time and space
At university, I had a housemate who was doing research into the chemical(s) in garlic that give it its smell. She was completely nose blind to it. You also went nose blind to garlic, just by being in the same house.
Rationally I know you will smell one another but I still maintain the opinion it will cancel each other out as a joke - to great frustration of my wife
Oui
you smell different, but you still smell unique.

No, it would be the same if I ate your ton of garlic and you ate my ton, by then neither of us would have a sense of smell either way.
So the universe remains in balance, as it always has.
So... we're going to Italy?? PIZZA!!!!!!
Years ago, my friends hosted a garlic-themed dinner. I rode a motorcycle there, and it was raining on my way home.
For the rest of my life, I will remember having to choose between opening the face shield and blinding myself, or closing the face shield and choking myself on garlic fumes.
My guess is that 2 mutually garlicked people will be able to smell each other.
Find someone to do an experiment with.
