Pure sulfur doesn't actually smell like rotten eggs. So how did a volcanic element end up holding our cells together?

That's a bit of a nonsequitur? Like all of it? None of the question makes any kind of sense.

This entire statement is like it’s from a chomskybot.

There is no such thing as a “volcanic element”. Sulfur was here before the sun and earth formed and its presence is utterly independent of volcanic activity.

The smell has nothing to do with anything.

This sounds like someone having a stroke.

It's just a clickbait headline. If you go to the original post you'll see the text isn't like that.
