i once had a VERY spicy meal. and i'm quite used to spicynes

that meal caused me to feel it the next morning when i peed. which also means that my blood was spicy at some point

Are you sure you didn't have sex with someone with spicy pee prior? Spicy pee is contagious.

Crossed my mind, but the fact that it only happened once in the morning, quickly eased my mind

I've also felt this when eating spicier than usual food. Kind of threw off the taste too

Did the pee taste spicy or just different in another way?

12

Perhaps it could have been, your mucuous membranes reacting to the spicyness, rather than having them in your urine itself? Many autoimmune disorders tend to react strongly, to certain eaten things (like spices) - chronic bladder wall inflammation being one of them, for example - so I assume it could be possible, for that sort of reaction, to happen mildly and temporarily, with an excessive exposure like that.

The atoms in the air you're breathing are billions of years old, and the molecules could have been made 5 minutes or a billion years ago. Probably both in the same breath.

Well, it's kinda cool to look around and also realize that much of what you see likely came from multiple supernovae and/or kilonovae. (Huh. I have never needed to pluralize the word 'kilonova' before. Meh.. It looks cool with the 'e', so I'll leave it.)

Eventually, our atoms are going to get blasted out across the universe again to maybe become part of some other planetary system, before it eventually gets destroyed or sucked into blackhole and is evaporated as radiation. This might not even be the first universe our bits have been a part of ..

It's the krebs cycle. If you look at how sugar is broken down by the cells to make atp, the actual energy your cells use, it takes C6H12O6 (sugar) and makes it into a few CO2 and H2O, getting energy (atp) from breaking it down into the components. That CO2 is then exhaled, which is I think what OP is referring to.

Note: it's been a long time since I learned that in class so it is most likely somewhat incorrect

23

it does check out. the CO2 travels from the cells through the blood into the lungs, where it is exhaled.

so technically what you exhale has a slightly higher mass than what you inhale, because it has an additional carbon atom.

14

Jokes on you I'm constantly breathing whether I'm awake or asleep! I only eat like, two times a day! Checkmate!

I think that makes sense, water is absorbed into the bloodstream, right? And then the kidneys filter the blood and the bad bits + excess water is peed out. Which is why your pee looks saturated yellow if you are dehydrated and almost clear (but don't drink it!) when you have drank a lot of water.

Any remaining water in your digestive tract that isn't absorbed would be in your poos! If you have diarrhoea and your poos are all liquidy, that means water is not being absorbed properly (bad!)

I didn't do Biology, I'm a Physics+Chem student, so this could be completely wrong!

Damn right! That's my teleological purpose! I offend both the religious and secular, and thus make more religious. I've invented Mormon Occultism. People that rebel in the Mormon church will find me as I am the quasi-opposition of orthodox religious congregations, while people who seek truth from a secular perspective can debate me and I will win having studied philosophy into the 30th grade. This makes me an attractor membrane to orthodox Mormonism. God thought thus through for me, because God knows my dumb ass wouldn't have come up with this myself, because damn am I a horny son of a bitch.

That's true of the metabolic pathways for fat, protein, and alcohol, too. Each oxygen molecule we breathe feeds into chemical reactions so that it picks up a carbon atom and becomes CO2 on the way out. The carbon comes from whatever food was metabolized, including anaerobic respiration where the lactic acid eventually gets cleared out.

Fun fact: what ever you eat is wrapped around by your body, but it's not in the body.

When holes are closed enough that water cannot go through, I think it is valid interpretation of having an inside.

Urethra isn't a hole though, it's just a depression. Mouth and anus are the same hole.

Your nostrils, eyes, and ears are also connected to the inner-outside part of your body via the sinuses. So we're not doughnuts, we're something much stranger with 8 holes all connected in the middle.

Urethra and vagina are pockets, not true holes, since they don't go all the way through.

You are, but you aren'5 protected from them being judged if you share them. You made a disgusting statement that is kinda horrible and hurtful to anyone who happens to have been born with blue eyes.

Opinions are sometimes offensive. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all as I was taught. Just because you can share an opinion doesn't mean you should. But you do have every right to have an opinion, like everyone else

If you don't take in any liquids for long enough you won't have any urine. It's carried by your blood from source to destination. Your sweat similarly is from liquid transported by your blood

this may be anecdotal, but yes? worked in a high humidity/heat job and no matter how much water i drank, I'd only have to piss once that day

but would sweat so much!

27

I wonder what the limiting thing was. Was it your body's ability to process the water you were drinking? So, if you'd had more to drink, it might not have been safe? Or was it that your body's thirst signal was turned off, but you still could have processed more water, it just wasn't necessary?

Do you remember if that one piss was dark yellow? I wonder if you were sweating so much that your kidneys were making very concentrated pee because the amount of "unclaimed" water in the blood was low, and most of it was going towards sweating.

That reminds me of going motorcycling in the summer. I was sweating buckets, but as soon as my body squeezed out a drop of sweat, it was immediately whipped off by 100 km/h winds. I remember drinking crazy amounts of water, and being surprised that I didn't pee nearly as much as I was drinking. But, I still think I was peeing more than once per day.

It all comes from your digestive tract. Unless you're getting iv, subq or even more interesting io fluids. Though if you're getting io fluids your kidneys are likely getting fucked up enough to not produce urine for awhile and if you're getting subcutaneous fluids you're likely a cat or a dog or something.

While that would still be the digestive tract, I would also like to say that liquid absorption works from both ends equally well. In theory you can never drink from your mouth and still be perfectly hydrated ;)

To be sure, the Murphy drip was used extensively in WW1. Kinda makes you wonder what those fucking WW2 coconut iv guys were doing when you had perfectly fine access from the bottom that could take boiled water full of pyrogens just fine. And if you're in enough of a volume depleted state where a Murphy drip can't help due to vasoconstriction then all that potassium from a volume infusion of coconut ivs is gonna kill ya anyway.
