There are 2 kinds of people, people who pee in the shower and liars.

At least you're honest about it.

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.

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

[โ€“] SirEDCaLot@lemmy.today 5 points 3 months ago

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.

Have you cleaned out your drain?

Yes, I also pee in the sink.

[โ€“] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 months ago (2 children)

There was a whole community about that back on the other website. We should get a sink pissers community going on Lemmy

[โ€“] daggermoon@piefed.world 9 points 3 months ago

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.

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.

Only if Iโ€™m already in the shower to wash myself lol.

[โ€“] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 18 points 3 months ago

Yes, like a normal person ๐Ÿ˜‰

Our shower drains into the grey water tank and then to our fruit tree irrigation line, so... Of course yes.

[โ€“] digdilem@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Our shower drains into the grey water tank a

I've done the maths!

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.

The shower is the only place i pee and as for poo, well that's a story for another time....

[โ€“] PixTupy@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

There was a campaign in Brazil urging people to pee in the shower to save water.

Never trust anyone who doesn't pee in the shower!

[โ€“] stoicEuropean@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Of course, and occasionally I also poop in the shower. It's always funny to stomp it down the drain.

[โ€“] billwashere@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Found the waffle stomper.

[โ€“] cone_zombie@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 months ago

I know it's a running gag on the internet but I unironically think there's someone who actually does this

[โ€“] steve_freiheit@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I pee into my neighbor's shower

[โ€“] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 months ago

Only when their bathroom window is open

Not in my shower. But in other people's, sure.

[โ€“] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

And this is why all of Dave's neighbors have learned to securely lock down their entire house before taking a shower.

crouch low to the drain to minimize splashing

I feel less bad about peeing in the shower now.

Those that pee in the shower, and liars.
