Sure, I drink my own piss. It’s sterile, and I like the taste.

JUUUUST FYI, piss is NOT sterile that’s a myth

Classy ,

Oh I’m sure it isn’t, I’m just quoting Dodgeball haha

It’s pretty much sterile if you have a catheter. That’s why the joke in Dodge ball about Patches drinking his own piss works so well. He’s a cripple, so he has a catheter, so “it’s sterile and I like the taste!”.

Simulation6 ,

Or the joke in Catch22 where the nurse swaps the drip and catheter bottles once a day.

SoleInvictus ,

At the risk of being the “ackshally” guy, even indwelling catheters substantially increase the likelihood of bacteriuria, or abnormal bacteria in the urine. It gives motile bacteria additional surface area on which to make their way up the ureter, plus the initial placement can introduce microbes.

Bladders are pretty well colonized with a plethora of microbes. Short of nuking it with bleach, it’s never going to be sterile.

This guy catheters.

a_wild_mimic_appears ,

the first ever urinary tract infection i had was when i had a catheter, and it took ages to clear it, 0/10 do not recommend.

a_wild_mimic_appears ,

yeah, that myth is constantly popping up. it’s just that whatever bacteria live in your bladder just dont grow outside of it, and thats what makes it look “sterile” if you just check with standard media.

Thats also an issue with everything growing in the stomach, like heliobacter pylori - you have to provide the living conditions of the inside of the stomach to grow and keep a sample for research.

I mean it makes sense:

Keep in mind, not all types of soda are equally capable of contributing to kidney stones.

We recommend consuming any soda in moderation, and if you must, stick to the light citrus types that have less sugar and chemicals. Please note, it’s best to avoid soda altogether if kidney stones run in your family

Alternatives to soda include fresh fruit juices. Orange juice has been studied and shown to decrease the risk of stone formation. Fresh-squeezed lemonade is also great for preventing the formation of kidney stones. These beverages are high in citrate which binds to calcium in the urinary tract, preventing stone formation

FilthyShrooms ,

Ok but what about the drinking urine part?

BroccoLemuria ,

Urine is ok but SODA??

Jimmycakes ,

Can someone eli5

CaptainSpaceman ,

Sugar soda generally contributes to kidney stones, so the highlighted post is insanely misinforming people

Marketsupreme ,

Drinking urine however is proven to speed up urine color changes

CaptainSpaceman ,

Hahahahhaha holy fuck I focused on the underlined part only, ty friend

Marketsupreme ,

You’re comment was inadvertently hilarious though so well done

Shardikprime ,

High citrate beverages bind with calcium, reducing kidney stone chance

idiomaddict ,

Yeah, my dad’s doctor told him to drink lemonade, but I don’t think the soda bit’s really the worst part.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

It’s telling you to drink urine. Read the last line.

Gork ,

So I guess the answer is to drink something coming off a pristine mountain. Some dew, perhaps?

Maalus ,

The answer is not to drink piss

grrgyle ,

What does the dotted underline mean? Like a definition on click?

radicalautonomy ,

Likely a link to their corporate sponsor, Sprite.

chemicalprophet ,

Makes sense. Now if it said lemon-lime pop I’d be concerned.

Girl, piss ambitiously!

ccunning ,

You should aim to drink at least 2 quarts (2 liters) of urine every 24 hours, and your urine should be light in color.

I keep drinking my urine, but it just keeps getting darker and darker with each pass 😭

monkeyslikebananas2 ,

Definitely cancer

lugal ,

Buy my healing stone for 10.000$

Jenkinsass ,

It doesn’t say your urine, just 2 liters of urine. You gotta mix in other people’s to keep it fresh.

thisbenzingring ,

I remember learning in boot camp that if you run out of water and have to resort to drinking urine, you can always drink someone else’s without concerns once. But your own urine will always be a poison because it contains the waste your kidneys create. Since everyone is different, other people’s isn’t recognized as full of identified waste and so you can probably get away with drinking it. Still a last resort.

ShunkW ,

That’s some of the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard. 100% not true.

jaybone ,

That commentor is probably an AI.

Gork ,

This sounds like an excuse to get the newbies to drink piss.

tiefling ,

Does it have to be human?

I swear, I can’t tell the difference between AI answers and the shit people make up with inspect element for the memes anymore.

bitwaba ,

The problem with AI isn’t that it’s not smart enough. The problem is it’s trained on data generated by humanity, which is mostly composed of idiots.

ReallyActuallyFrankenstein ,

Imagine the smartest person alive. Then remember 100% of the people generating AI training data are dumber than that person.

Shurimal ,

Just for kicks entered the same thing to Brave search and it's AI seems to give a much saner answer. Google search is an absolute joke these days.

shani66 ,

I have no idea how Google manages to be so terrible. At least half the employees have to be actively sabotaging the company with the way it runs.
