Look up a product called Thrift. You can get it on Amazon. It's a type of flake drain cleaner, comes in a bottle. Basically run your shower on super hot for a few minutes to heat up the pipe, then pour a bunch of this stuff down, and a bit more hot water. Leave it alone for a few minutes, then flush with hot water.
Unlike Drano, this stuff actually works. Originally I found it on a plumbing subreddit. I've done it to my shower a few times and it seems to have a longer lasting effect every time, like it's actually cleaning out the pipe.
Strange story for you.. I had very bad athletes foot for many years. All the off the shelf powders and creams didn't help at all. Someone told me to pee on my feet to cure it, I didnt believe them but tried it anyways. Worked amazingly quickly. Occasionally I do it still but not all the time. Haven't had athletes foot in over 25 years... I'm so sorry for the story. 😂
Yep that's the idea. Not actually sure if its preventing anything.. But it hasn't come back. Its in the shower so I don't care. Finish washing up and spray the shower with cleaner when im done. 😂
Shower water /is/ normally collected in grey water systems, but piss would be so diluted as to be a negligable contaminant. A shower uses roughly 70 litres of water. An average human bladder voiding is 400ml, so that works out at 0.57% piss in the grey water collected in a single shower. Negligable - but for fruit trees, a fertiliser.
I did once and the next day i could hear my roommate shrubbing the bathtub with some cleaning utensil ... so i guess it smelled and he was sensitive to it? But i couldn't smell anything, idk.
There are 2 kinds of people, people who pee in the shower and liars.
I’m a liar.
At least you're honest about it.
Is he, though? ;-)
Don't think about it too much. Engaging with paradoxes is known to exercise your mental muscles.
I only pee in other people's showers.
when the water isn't on.
Gotta set the tone.
I've done plumbing work before, it's all pipes, people. Piss to your heart's content, you're not hurting anything
I have a slow drain so the shower ends up with a shallow puddle by the end. So, no, I don't like standing in a puddle of my own pee.
But otherwise, pipes is pipes. No judgement here.
Snake ur drain bby <3

Have you cleaned out your drain?
shower yes, bath no
Hot tub?
anything chlorinated is fair game
Depends on the dilution rate.
Hot tubs are way too finnicky for that you should not be peeing in them!!!
There are two types of people in the world. People who pee in the shower and those that lie about not peeing in the shower.
You know this was the line our sex ed teacher gave us in 5th grade.
Except about masturbation.
It’s used in all types of settings.. Race car drivers say there are two types of drivers those that pee in the car and those that lie about it..
Yes, I also pee in the sink.
There was a whole community about that back on the other website. We should get a sink pissers community going on Lemmy
We have one. It's pretty inactive. Last time I posted there someone was giving me shit for pissing in the sink. Like why are you here? lol.
We don't need to. It's assumed.
Only if I’m already in the shower to wash myself lol.
Yes, like a normal person 😉

You still pee on your feet occasionally as some kind of preventative you're saying?
Yep that's the idea. Not actually sure if its preventing anything.. But it hasn't come back. Its in the shower so I don't care. Finish washing up and spray the shower with cleaner when im done. 😂
No one wants itchy feet that's for sure
Prophylactic feet pissing is now my favorite phrase in the English language
New band name. I call dibs
And they're always eager to help out other people too.
Our shower drains into the grey water tank and then to our fruit tree irrigation line, so... Of course yes.
I've done the maths!

Mmm, nitrogen
The shower is the only place i pee and as for poo, well that's a story for another time....
Of course, and occasionally I also poop in the shower. It's always funny to stomp it down the drain.
Found the waffle stomper.
I know it's a running gag on the internet but I unironically think there's someone who actually does this
Never trust anyone who doesn't pee in the shower!
There was a campaign in Brazil urging people to pee in the shower to save water.
https://youtu.be/xyJlUZWwkdM
I pee into my neighbor's shower
Only when their bathroom window is open
Not in my shower. But in other people's, sure.
And this is why all of Dave's neighbors have learned to securely lock down their entire house before taking a shower.
No!
But you should
Yep
I feel less bad about peeing in the shower now.
That's why we're here
crouch low to the drain to minimize splashing
damn right. I might be dumb but I ain't stupid
Yes, it saves water
I'm pretty sure the US army used to recommend peeing on your own feet in the shower to reduce athlete's foot.

Those that pee in the shower, and liars.

Maybe he shat in the shower after you?
I don't pee in the shower I prefer to pee into the shower
Whole body bidet.
George Costanza?
Of course I do. The only reason not to is if you are showering with someone else.
A friend in college got in a huge fight with his girlfriend when he peed on her feet in the shower.
Yeah (though not often)
