This is what is meant by "piss off".

Drinking Fountains

"I've always wondered whether you could drink slowly enough, and eliminate fast enough, that you just sort of peed continuously. But I'm afraid to try because I worry someone might call while I'm doing it and ask what I'm up to, and I won't be able to think of a lie."

That's what makes regenerative farming so good, all that piss and shit make it great for the crops, no need for other fertilizers

I'm just saying you could slip in a bite of beef jerky or raw-dog some Gatorade powder once in a while

You’re gonna want to add some salt to that gallon you’re drinking, ask me how I know

I'm also curious. Is there a particular kind of salt?

Epsom

HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 78d

Isn't Epsom salt like a majority water?

Kolanaki@pawb.social · 3 pts · 78d

Would that prevent hyperhydration, or would you need it to have more than just salt? 🤔

LurkingLuddite@piefed.social · 1 pts · 78d

lol no. It says "a day". It says nothing about when exercising or sweating your ass off outside when you might need to actually care about adding salt.

I drink about a gallon a day of water and my normal diet replenishes things just fine. Your kidneys shouldn't be dumping a bunch of stuff out that you're already low on. They're not mindless filters that run at a constant rate.

What's a 'gallon' in normal volume measurements?

vivalapivo@lemmy.today · 7 pts · 77d

It's about 1.5 goat stomachs, mate

Holytimes@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 74d

Depends. Which gallon are you talking about? The British one or the American one? Or one of the other ones...?

MisterFrog@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 77d

Either ~4.55 L (imperial) or ~3.79 L (US).

Ugh. Why do they do this to us?

at my former job, my boss was a nosy little.. nice lady....
Anyways, i had a mysterious bladder infection all the time. Any time she would waddle her ass towards me i suddenly had to go to the bathroom. Sometimes multiple times!

You're going to need to replace a few electrolytes also.

You know a good hack is you can just lie about having to use the bathroom.

smh@slrpnk.net · 1 pts · 77d

/me laughs in POTS. I had four 30 oz tumblers of electrolyte water before noon today. (0.94 gallons aka 3.5 liters) And yes, I pee constantly.

So, the modern day version of smoking? Oh, wait. They’d listen to each other, rather than be chuckle fucks — okay, there were some.

That's the most accurate take on drinking too much water
