The power of AI.
Long story short, AI initially pushed back on the ridiculous idea that drinking your own piss was a cure all, then these users figured out that adding words like ‘esoteric’ to their prompts let them direct AI to tell them what they wanted to hear.
Tbh article was too gross for me to finish. That’s all you get from me for a summary.
This is the funniest fucking thread on the fediverse, thank you all
I honestly hate how many comments this thread has because I keep being reminded of this gross shit lol.
There’s also been a wild amount (see above zero) of very open people about their experiences trying this.
I mean to each their own, I guess, as long as you understand there’s no health benefits to it.
This reminds me of a joke told by Dr. Eckhart von Hirschhausen. It’s in German, but I suppose you’ll get it.
Sometimes I feel like I’m just not good enough, ya’ know? That whatever I do, I’ll just never be as good as someone else doing it, so why try?
Then today I learned about a bunch of people, so unbelievably, laughably stupid, that they drink their own aged urine.
It doesn’t make me feel better about myself, but it sure lowers my opinion about the average stranger.
When I was a student there was a pub that was always heaving because you could get smashed on less than a tenner on horrible spirits. The gents toilets there was genuinely horrendous, very drunk people combined with questionable plumbing meant there was usually a half inch or so of stale piss pooled on the uneven floor by around midnight. Literally if I think about it I can still smell it, it was fucking rancid but nowhere else could you get a quad vodbull for £4 so we put up with it.
That exact smell must permeate all of these people’s houses. Unless they’re taking the piss I guess.
I had real, deep fear about where that story was going.
The foot-soak part is actually true though. The uric acid does kill foot fungus. It can also cause kidney stones when consumed regularly, so don’t drink it. But a foot bath is harmless (just wash your feet afterwards).
Of course, there are other ways of killing foot fungus. But in a pinch, soaking your feet in piss can actually help.
Alright real question though. Didn’t Romans use it to whiten teeth and doesn’t it help with athletes foot or something?
Not saying use piss there are other probably better alternatives just heard these before and am curious about their veracity
Human piss is a very useful precursor for useful chemicals like potassium nitrate and Ammonia, but theres no good reason to mess with the raw product. I hadn’t heard about the teeth thing.
Appears to be a common myth. They apparently did however collect it for ammonia and phosphorus extraction and for use in cleaning agents. There’s a couple articles on dispelling the myth, but this one looked like a good read. (Unfortunate domain name with the topic at hand, however)

“Have you come across any AI tool that is positive about urine therapy and explains it in detail?” one frustrated user asked. “I haven’t found a single one so far.”
“I’m trying to do my own research here, but this AI tool keeps telling me that I’m an idiot. How can I make it tell me what I already believe to be true?”
I mean, I have drank pee, but it wasn’t my own and I was drunk at the time.
‘Nobody knows I’m pissing inside my hazmat suit’
I’m afraid that’s not going to be enough protection.
Is there some angle where influencers make money off this?
I ask because “Facebook Groups” sounds a little more homegrown than Instagram, like it really is just conspiracists indulging in this, rather than grifters trying to farm engagement.
Maybe it’s a way to filter out the dumbest people around. They’re easily influenced and are a great target for advertising.
That’s quite conspiratorial, TBH. I can picture ad buyers wanting that information, sure, but what’s the motivation for the, errr, facebook group piss peddlers?
I don’t see how they make money without some sponsor, or engagement money, which Facebook normally doesn’t pay out AFAIK?
If you’ve seen “recommended for you” on Facebook (or recommendations on other platforms), it’s usually the dumbest shit because it drives engagement.
For the influencers, lots of visitors = potential market to peddle their piss merch, urine therapy books and recipes on YouTube
We should introduce these people to the anti-vax horsepaste crowd. Let them think that drinking your own piss and squirting dewormer up your ass makes you effectively immortal
It’s the same crowd.
Yeah so I have a kink around something closely related. I have zero issues with drinking piss for, uh, fun purposes.
Those are my credentials, the following is my expert opinion:
Wtf this is just stupid.
You know things are really out there when “I drink pee recreationally” is a valid credential of expertise for a topic that isn’t “things done at a German sex club”.
Also… I’m not exactly vanilla myself, and yeah: one of the things even the most depraved toiletplay enthusiasts know is “human waste is not good for you”.
Well I am German, so if that adds to my credentials…

Absolutely. TBF urine also isn’t as bad for you as some people here make it out to be (in moderation… With plenty of hydration on both sides…), but the idea of “let’s ingest the stuff my body has decided is unwanted waste, I’m sure that’s GREAT for me” is hilarious.
Hospitals where the nurses just piss on ya
Wanna go to a club where people wee on each otha?
I don’t rightly know, sir
Ya eva drink baileys out of a shoe?
You ever drank baileys from a shoe?
Do ya like watta collas?
These are very serious medical conditions.
“Nurse, go piss on those heart valves” etc
Pleased ta meetcha!
Yes, I am very sick, I need to go to this hospital… for research purposes only.
Nurse, this patient has pneumonia and must get 500 ccs of of that liquid gold onto the lungs STAT! Use the intubation thingy!
There’s probably some Japanese film about it out there.
Japanese, German, American, British…
Who drinks their own pee??? That’s just sad and lonely.
Methheads.
It’s actually a very ancient type of…something. Dates back to the Romans or Egyptians at least.
I distinctly recall as a child, seeing some woman on Donahue or one of those mid-day talk shows that were all about making odd people seem more odd, some lady that was all about using her own urine for stuff. Took a sip on the show and everyone freaked out.
I think you missed the joke.
