Ya know it's shit like this that makes me wonder if everyone should have universal access to healthcare, because if you are drinking piss more than the piss fetishists then maybe you shouldn't get care for failing kidneys. It's like breatharians, passed a certain point I no longer have pity, sympathy, or empathy and simply see it as self inflicted natural selection.

I understand this sentiment, I really do.
But if you start to exclude people, you have to draw the line somewhere. Is this theotrtical guy willfully stupid, or mentally ill? Should both get treatment? Only the mentally ill guy? Neither?
I'm perfectly fine with my taxes going to improving everyone's lives, regardless of how much of a stubborn dumbass they are. It's too important to make sure that not a single 'deserving' person gets left out.
Hence why I said wonder, they probably should be treated because who would be the arbiter and all that but fuck does it stress test my beliefs and principles. Regardless we should allow doctors and nurses to chew people out like combat medics, humans absorb information in the immediate aftermath of trauma so if you chewed out a dumbfuck pissdrinker while they are being treated it may actually stick.
Also it should be socially acceptable to assault parents who inflict this shit apon their children, especially the bleach cultists and antivaxers.
AI: A tool that allows idiots feel like they finally have someone agree with them.
Sometimes I feel like I'm just not good enough, ya' know? That whatever I do, I'll just never be as good as someone else doing it, so why try?
Then today I learned about a bunch of people, so unbelievably, laughably stupid, that they drink their own aged urine.
It doesn't make me feel better about myself, but it sure lowers my opinion about the average stranger.
When I was a student there was a pub that was always heaving because you could get smashed on less than a tenner on horrible spirits. The gents toilets there was genuinely horrendous, very drunk people combined with questionable plumbing meant there was usually a half inch or so of stale piss pooled on the uneven floor by around midnight. Literally if I think about it I can still smell it, it was fucking rancid but nowhere else could you get a quad vodbull for £4 so we put up with it.
That exact smell must permeate all of these people's houses. Unless they're taking the piss I guess.
There was a college nightclub near me years ago known for cheap drinks. After decades they closed down and sold the building. When the new owners renovated the place, they had to dig up the concrete underneath because decades of piss getting into cracks in the foundation basically crystalized and created a health hazard.
I had real, deep fear about where that story was going.
This is the funniest fucking thread on the fediverse, thank you all
I honestly hate how many comments this thread has because I keep being reminded of this gross shit lol.
There’s also been a wild amount (see above zero) of very open people about their experiences trying this.
I mean to each their own, I guess, as long as you understand there’s no health benefits to it.
There's actually quite a few really bad things that can happen from it, depending on how much you drink, and what else is in your diet. Kidney disease is no joke.

The dumbest fucks use AI for everything. This is pretty evident from local Facebook groups.
“Have you come across any AI tool that is positive about urine therapy and explains it in detail?” one frustrated user asked. “I haven’t found a single one so far.”
"I'm trying to do my own research here, but this AI tool keeps telling me that I'm an idiot. How can I make it tell me what I already believe to be true?"
Yeah so I have a kink around something closely related. I have zero issues with drinking piss for, uh, fun purposes.
Those are my credentials, the following is my expert opinion:
Wtf this is just stupid.
You know things are really out there when "I drink pee recreationally" is a valid credential of expertise for a topic that isn't "things done at a German sex club".
Also... I'm not exactly vanilla myself, and yeah: one of the things even the most depraved toiletplay enthusiasts know is "human waste is not good for you".

The foot-soak part is actually true though. The uric acid does kill foot fungus. It can also cause kidney stones when consumed regularly, so don't drink it. But a foot bath is harmless (just wash your feet afterwards).
Of course, there are other ways of killing foot fungus. But in a pinch, soaking your feet in piss can actually help.

What a great headline.
And entire thread without this pic?
It has electrolytes!
Yeah. Like...has anyone ever really asked if your kidneys are doing ANY critical thinking when they're supposedly "eliminating waste"? Who the fuck made YOU chief, kidneys? I'll be comprised of what I WANT, you're not the boss of me!
If we weren't supposed to drink piss, why did god make it come out of dicks?
Squirt is also piss. I'm not into pissing, but squirting? Sign me up!
Suddenly got soaked when I was doing a girl. I'm like "what the fuck, are you pissing on me?" "No, I'm squirting." "Carry on."
This is actively so much weirder than piss fetishists. At least they know they're drinking piss because they like it, unlike these people
Alright real question though. Didn't Romans use it to whiten teeth and doesn't it help with athletes foot or something?
Not saying use piss there are other probably better alternatives just heard these before and am curious about their veracity
Human piss is a very useful precursor for useful chemicals like potassium nitrate and Ammonia, but theres no good reason to mess with the raw product. I hadn't heard about the teeth thing.
Appears to be a common myth. They apparently did however collect it for ammonia and phosphorus extraction and for use in cleaning agents. There’s a couple articles on dispelling the myth, but this one looked like a good read. (Unfortunate domain name with the topic at hand, however)

We should introduce these people to the anti-vax horsepaste crowd. Let them think that drinking your own piss and squirting dewormer up your ass makes you effectively immortal
It's the same crowd.
My stepdad was an early version of these people. He didn't go to doctors and ate raw onions, a lot of them, because he'd heard on the radio that they were in the Bible as some kind of secret miracle drug that "Big Medicine" doesn't want you to know about."
When he died, I went in with the hazmat crew to clear out the hoarder mess he'd made of the house. You couldn't get to the stairs because he'd been buying online vitamins, boxes and boxes of them, and they were piled up there. He'd also opted out of Medicare.

AI initially pushed back on the ridiculous idea that drinking your own piss was a cure all, then these users figured out that adding words like ‘esoteric’ to their prompts let them direct AI to tell them what they wanted to hear.
Big Tech isn't going to conceal the hidden wonders of urine from me!
