The water from sewer treatment plants typically goes to agriculture, not drinking.
And then it evaporates, and then it precipitates, some of it into a reservoir, and then we drink it...
According to my beer-drinking friends, several companies have not only discovered the precise point where people will fold, but successfully marketed it too.
Urine is already diluted by water, so you're most of the way there.
How much watery piss before it becomes pissy water?
But that's an equilateral triangle, not a right triangle.
See, the thing is, I watch piss porn. Hear me out. I told my friend that the thing is, to do piss porn, you kind of have to be into it. You could try and fake it, but it wouldn’t be very convincing. So, my contention is, piss porn is more genuine than other types of porn, because the people partaking are statistically more likely to enjoy doing that type of porn. Which is great, I think, because then they really get into it, which is hot. It’s that enjoyment that gets me off. Their enjoyment.
She said, “mech, you’re an idiot. Anyone can fake liking getting pissed in the face.”
So I said, “Well, if you’re so adamant, get in the tub and I’ll piss in your mouth, and let’s see if it’s as easy as you claim.”
So she said, “All right. If I can fist you in the ass afterwards.”
Which I felt was a fair deal, so I took it.
My (formal) position was strengthened significantly by the former event. And I can also attest that I could not convincingly fake enjoying being ass-fisted.
What does that have to do with anything, you ask? Genuinity. The real deal. That’s what.
Either this is a copypasta or you're the piss-drinking equivalent to a vegan, because I swear I've read this comment before almost exactly like that.
It is now.
If you didn’t enjoy it, she wasn’t deep enough
Your methodology on that second one was flawed. You were motivated to do a bad job of pretending to like getting fisted.
Reminds me of
TBH, a dissertation as a suicide note sounds kinda like a power move.
Depends on how hydrated the pisser was
This chart should help with the question.
2 is my limit
Take more b2.
Neon!
Depending on who it's from, I would definitely drink piss.
Glad to know there are like minded individuals such as yourself who understand the value of a good drink.
Where meme?
There are actual memes in the comments.
That liquid is called public swimming pool water you accidentally swallow.
If you don't know the water is contaminated, then the point at which you fold is when you realize that what you taste is probably piss.
If I know there is even 0.00000000000000000000000001% piss in tower full of water I ain't drinking it
Prepare to die from dehydration, because man do I have some bad news for you…
Yep, at those percentages there's likely an amount larger of piss in every breath you take indoors. Always remember, it's the amount that kills (or tastes like piss)
Your acceptable concentration is about 1*10^-28.
The world's largest freshwater lake is lake Baikal, with a volume of 22995 km^3. Adult humans have a bladder volume of about 350 ml. If a single person pees in this lake once, that's a concentration of about 1.5*10-17, or about 150 billion times too pissy.
Reverse osmosis and distillation have fairly complimentary strengths and weaknesses. RO removes about 99% of contaminants, distillation removes about 99.9%. two passes each of RO and distillation and your treated single-piss lake Baikal water is now down to about 1*10^-27 piss, or still about 10x too pissy for you.
This analysis assumes that you consider piss to not include the water molecules that carry it. If you have a "once piss always piss" policy, I'd be willing to bet that a pretty significant portion of water to have gone through an animal at least once.
My piss goes to a leach field by way of a septic tank. So no worries about that. Got municipal source repumped from a station about 10 miles west, so I dunno what the pipe conditions are here yet. Have only had to replace one water heater line so far
