In a Facebook group called “Urine Therapy, your sacred plasma medicine,” which has over 45,000 members, some discovered that popular AI chatbots initially push back on wild notions of tinkle as medicine.

        Reminds me of this story: Hemingway was a regular at Sloppy Joe’s in Key West. One day, the owner comes in and tells everyone that his landlord has raised the rent and that Sloppy Joe’s was now moving across the street. “Everyone grab a chair or table and let’s go!” he says. Hemingway goes into the bathroom and retrieves the urinal (a copper trough) and takes it to his house. When asked why he does this, he answers that he figures he’s put more money in it than anyone else so it’s his.

        The urinal is serves as a planter. You can still see it today if you visit his house.

    Are you sure these people aren’t into it? Rule 34 and all that. I think that would be a pretty simple explanation.

    Although Covid clearly taught me that some people will hold on to anything as long as they get to be a part of a movement that resists something. I got some serious anti-big pharma vibes from that story.

    drinking pee is the least awful thing these urinary tract incompetents do.

    I remember one post from someone who “aged” their urine for a month and used it as eye drops, and couldnt understand why their eyes are blood red and burning.

      detoxification

      Isn’t it literally full of every “toxin” your kidneys removed from your bloodstream?

      I was going to ask how dumb these people are and then I remembered they LITERALLY drink piss. These people vote btw.

          pee is not poop

          I don’t think medical science is ready for such a huge revelation.

            Even poop is not that dangerous to you, if you’re not immunocompromised. It’s just pee has even less bacteria in it, essentially making it kind of safe for human consumption in limited quantity. The ammonia in it is not good for you, and can cause poisoning, so don’t replace your hydration with the pee of your significant other.
