I've done plumbing work before, it's all pipes, people. Piss to your heart's content, you're not hurting anything

There are 2 kinds of people, people who pee in the shower and liars.
I only pee in other people's showers.
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
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, like a normal person ๐
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.

Only if Iโm already in the shower to wash myself 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.
Our shower drains into the grey water tank and then to our fruit tree irrigation line, so... Of course yes.
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.

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.
There was a campaign in Brazil urging people to pee in the shower to save water.
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!
Yep
damn right. I might be dumb but I ain't stupid
I pee into my neighbor's shower
Only when their bathroom window is open
There are two kinds of people.
Those that pee in the shower, and liars.
