Lick it
-
I've seen this before, but I have to wonder: has anyone actually tested it? Like sure, you can imagine what licking asphalt would feel like, but have you ever just done it to make sure your imagination is right?
Most definitely as a baby or toddler, yes you have. And if it was not asphalt it was similar stuff like walls and such.
As soon as one has enough data and a brain developed enough one absolutely can tell the feel and taste of stuff even if not tested.
Bonus points if your a parent. Toddlers WILL force stuff in your mouth and you WILL have the chance to test the theories.

Some toddlers have helicopter parents who never let them put anything in their mouth. Will they be stunted in their growth and development and sensory skills?
Oh, these kids will make their experiences whatsoever. Even helicopter parents need to do stuff from time to time and kids somehow KNOW if they are not watched, ever for a second.
It might take longer to make all the experience one needs, but they will get them one way or another. -
Pain. Your face may also feel some, as well.
Ok, fair enough.

I looked at a lint roller and I’m pretty positive I have no clue what licking that would be like
Only one way to find out. Do it... For science!

My fingers also know.
As does my pp.It's the brain.
The same damaged brain that can't tell how it will feel doing something it enjoys.
That a fuck. -

Asphalt tastes like gummy bears for a second.

The table leg feels like kiki and the football feels like bouba. Easy

Pretty much every asshole I know can do that
You test them? Your parties must be unsettling for new friends!

I think you might be onto something.
I have no idea how dick would feel on my tongue, because I've never had one on my tongue.
Interesting. Yes.
If you feel this as a loss, I'm sure that if you let this be known widely enough in your friend group, someone will offer to help you out with the missing sensory data.
And if not, there's definitely an app for that. Just put that on your profile.

False. I have no idea what licking lava would feel like.
I assume it works best when you see the things in front of you at least once, rather than just images, and I've never seen lava in real life

My tongue didn’t account for the taste when it longed for the anus last night.

A healthy anus can tell the difference between solids, liquids, and gasses.
That's due to the anal sampling reflex

The silicone type of lint roller would probably feel like an unusually firm silicone dildo and the sticky tape type would probably feel slippery like postage stamp and taste with that sickly sweet chemical adhesive taste

There’s no accounting for taste, famously

There’s an indie game that just came out called Dragon Detective, where investigation is about using the five senses, plus the sixth sense of magic.
You would think that Taste would be a fringe-use sense that barely comes up, but no, this dragon really does lick the whole crime scene to judge the makeup of an object.
“S-Stop! Please stop licking the walls!!”

There's a satisfying way to lick a lint roller and you know this how?
I dunno....

Licks the couch & sucks on wooden table leg

Yeah weirdly (or maybe not) when we get down to it too every sense is a sense of touch. Your ears touch the vibrations in the air, your nose touches the particles in the air, your eyes feel the touch of the light that hits them, skin is self explanatory, and then your tongue, which is touching on a very miniscule level while checking for all the chemicals and seeing if your nose is confirming that the touch is similar to the particles
Disagree on eyes. Light is EM radiation, not a mechanical wave like sound. Your retina isn't 'touching' anything but the vitreous.

Though isn't it a stream of photons that hit the photoreceptors? So not touch in the mechanical sense, but things are still "touching" in the colliquial sense, like a very minute and specialized version of smell
