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.
I never thought humans could be so stupid. To believe this is the end of the world. People are getting dumber and dumber; some believe everything. This world is lost…
AI: A tool that allows idiots feel like they finally have someone agree with them.
What a great headline.
Ya know it’s shit like this that makes me wonder if everyone should have universal access to healthcare, because if you are drinking piss more than the piss fetishists then maybe you shouldn’t get care for failing kidneys. It’s like breatharians, passed a certain point I no longer have pity, sympathy, or empathy and simply see it as self inflicted natural selection.
And entire thread without this pic?
It has electrolytes!
Yeah. Like…has anyone ever really asked if your kidneys are doing ANY critical thinking when they’re supposedly “eliminating waste”? Who the fuck made YOU chief, kidneys? I’ll be comprised of what I WANT, you’re not the boss of me!
If we weren’t supposed to drink piss, why did god make it come out of dicks?
This is actively so much weirder than piss fetishists. At least they know they’re drinking piss because they like it, unlike these people
LET’S GO DARWIN
The dumbest fucks use AI for everything. This is pretty evident from local Facebook groups.
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)

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.
There’s actually quite a few really bad things that can happen from it, depending on how much you drink, and what else is in your diet. Kidney disease is no joke.
