My hippie neighbor who uses his own piss twice a week. For real. His beard looks lavish.

Fun fact though, pee is composed almost entirely of chemicals.

Almost?

Edit: ah. Nevermind :)

That’s the thing about chemicals, though. Ammonia from a penis is the exact same thing as ammonia from a factory. Despite what homeopaths would say, molecules don’t have a memory of where they’ve been. I suppose I can see an argument around sourcing chemicals from sources that minimize environmental harm.

The source is key here, especially the pathway for obtaining said chemical. The biological pathway a human used to source ammonia is natural.

Is the concern the additional chemicals that it may be mixed with due to the method of production? Because ammonia is ammonia is ammonia, regardless of source.

It may be. But it’s not insanely complicated to synthesize NH₂CONH₂, and it’ll be far more pure than getting it from an animal’s waste. You just need ammonia, carbon dioxide, and some equipment (and know how to use said equipment without exploding things, so best to outsource the production).

I've heard it's good for your skin, too. Supposedly, pregnant women's urine is the best.
