This oddly reminds me of the fact that owls (iirc specifically Barn Owls) have one ear slightly higher than the other so they can get an even more defined scope of a sound! Unfortunate that we humans can’t use this outset in our noses to also track… 🥺
It's so that our nose knows, who smelt it dealt it. But then again, having two nostrils is much more efficient at warming, humidifying, and filtering air than a single large hole would be.
Imagine in an alternative universe where humans have one nostril, they debate what it would be like to have 2, and also say having 2 nostrils is nightmare fuel
In case it's not obvious on how to figure out which one is active, just breath in and use a finger to block air flow to a single nostril. One side will have easy breathing. The other will be partially active or inactive. If it's both active, it's probably at a reduced amount.

Yeah, for me it's more like 90/10 split 😞
Imagine if we were 2 brain or 4 arm & leg, or segmented
Nightmare fuel suppose until next year

that scared
the crap outta me
i miss having a sense of smell
"Made you look!"
Also didn't even give me a choice
It's like depth perception for smelling. Interesting.
Because God knows exactly what we’d do with a hole big enough
Agreed, that is nightmare fuel
I just got a panic attack.
Now I wonder if we could have three nostrils
Instead of asking why don't we have one nostril, we could be asking whywe don't have TWO MOUTHS.
Because we have two lungs ?
Having one nostril would make the nose less able to filter particles by utilizing nose hairs.
"Our mouth just has one hole"? Isn't it rather our mouth IS one hole?!
Body horror
dude I ACTUALLY HAD A NIGHTMARE OF THIS IMAGE A FEW DAYS AGO. WTF.
Honestly, an underrated channel

Why even include the symetry Argument If it ain't true?
my left nostril is working, my right is asleep
"Richer sense of smell"
And yet I can barely smell anything 90% of the time (especially food)
Then why not four?
I’m starting to see the single nostril as a mouth and it’s horrific
Thanks man now im breathing manually
No wonder my nose often breathes alternately because it's blocked 😅
You are now breathing manually
That's why when you have a cold, there is usually once side where you can breath a little bit, and the other is completely clogged up.
God made our body the way he made it
This just knocked me out of breathing autopilot
Pretty sure my liver and heart are on one side

"I CAST MANUAL BREATHING" the video
HOW DID I OPEN THE COMMENTS THE EXACT TIME IT SHOWED
My nose always take turn 95% and 5%
If we had one nose hole by default, you'd call two nose hole a nightmare fuel. A minimum of self awareness
Good for every nostril accept my allergic nose always blocked one way in 🤧
Sometimes it's 0% and 100% with one BURNING with every exhausting breath I have to track MANUALLY 😂
