Most Likely to Drink Their Own Piss

[Ⓐaron]

When the shit goes down, you can evidently depend on these people to do what it takes to stay alive. Or else they're just crazy and like the taste of piss.

Sorry but this thread would be incomplete without the following meme.

 

[Cthulhu]

I voted in this category, better drink my own piss.

 

[Carlie]

Yop would probably be crazy enough to drink it if he was drunk and confused it for beer so really it can happen at any moment.

Interestingly enough, drinking your own piss has no benefit to you in a survival situation, as it's just what's left of the fluids you drink after all the useful stuff in them has been digested, so it has no nutrients that your body could make use of.

 

[Cthulhu]

Except for, you know, water

 

[Kermitu Kleric Katie]

Except for, you know, water

Yeah, but pee is just water without the nutrients that make water good for you, because those have already been put to use by your body. So it's water without any nutritional value.

 

[Cthulhu]

Well yeah, but it's still water.

 

[Sprites]

To put it in perspective Matt you can survive around 3 weeks without food or nutrients but only 3-4 days without fluids, so if your pee is the only source of hydration it doesn't matter if it has nutrients or not, it's keeping you from becoming dehyrated

 

[Kermitu Kleric Katie]

Ummm..no. It does not work that way. You can read all about how awful for you drinking you own piss is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urine#Survival_uses
The gist of it is, your body doesn't want your pee, which is why it gets rid of it in the first place, and the salt in your pee will worsen your dehydration rather than relieve it.
And if you don't trust wikipedia, then just look at the US Army Field Manual, which also mentions how urine should NOT be used as a substitute for water(along with alcohol, blood, and seawater): http://www.equipped.com/21-76/ch6.pdf

I can see Minch is campaigning for most pedantic.

While you're fundamentally correct about drinking your own (unfiltered) urine won't save you when the chips are down, the concept of 'nutrients that make water good for you' doesn't make any sense because nutrients have nothing to do with water being vital for you, its just water, H2O itself that your body needs. It's the salt added to the water that makes it harmful, not the lack of anything in it.

The chemical properties inherent in water makes it vital, not 'nutrients'. Water doesn't have nutrintional valuel; it's fuckin' water.

I consider water itself to be a nutrient or whatever that your body needs.

If he hadn't said it, I would have. Tust us Matt, we know what we're talking about here.

 

[Drax]

Clearly the solution to this problem is an apparatus that filters piss into clear, drinkable water.

To the alchemy station!

See? This is why I voted for MOG. I'm so following him around if the world goes to shit. <3

[Cthulhu]

Oh shit haven't posted on page two yet, better drink my own piss.

 

[Fangu]

Thank you to whoever voted for me, I am flattered

 

[Mage]

If the zombie apocalypse ever happens, I want to be somewhere near you when the shit goes down. That's why you got my vote.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

If he hadn't said it, I would have. Tust us Matt, we know what we're talking about here.

So someone on the list has done this.

I've swallowed someone else's piss. Does that count for anything?

 

[Carlie]

As you are not nominated no it does not Tres.

 

[looneymoon]

Mog earned my vote because he is an IRL badass.

Everyone else would probably cry as someone else force fed them their own piss.
