I was really surprised about the response. I posted it right before going to bed and was too tired in the morning to respond. As you didn’t know what I was referring to let me clarify: You know how there’s water vapor all around you when you shower? You can see it on your mirror if ventilation in your bathroom is insufficient. If you now take a piss in the shower, and especially if there’s warm water in you tub that didn’t drain yet, some of the piss will also be vaporized. It’s probably more accurate to say it mixes with the vapor. I can smell that and it’s not amazing.
The response tells me not everyone experiences this. That’s probably a combination of me not drinking enough while also enjoying very hot showers with the water not draining fast enough.
I respect your curiosity and hope your life can now continue. Enjoy your next shower.
It’s not just that the phenomenon isn’t familiar to my experience, it doesn’t even theoretically correspond to physics as I understand it. Probably you know the things I’m about to say and are speaking informally, but for clarity and to establish common vocabulary I’m going to nail some stuff down according to science.
You can’t see water in its vapour form. You can see when vapour condenses back into tiny liquid droplets in midair (fog, mist, or colloquially “steam” but not really steam) or on cold surfaces (like when it fogs or “steams up” a mirror).
Water vapour can’t carry substances with it when it goes through the phase transition from liquid to vapour. Anything that is dissolved in the liquid water remains behind as residue. When water vapour condenses back into liquid, it is pure water. This is how distillation works. Piss is just water with stuff dissolved in it. If you evaporate piss and then condense the vapour in a separate container, you get pure water.
(Things get complicated when there is something dissolved in the water that has a similar vapour pressure, like alcohol or solvents, but those shouldn’t be present in your urine.)
I think maybe you just have pee that has an unusual or unusually strong odour, and the hot, continuously agitated water makes the smell more obvious than when you use a toilet or urinal. But the scent doesn’t mean you are being bathed in piss vapour, it’s just a normal smell.
Ah, I see. Yes, I was too loose with the terminology. It was oversimplified and exaggerated for comic effect. But I can see now how that can be difficult to decipher. You won, I concede.
I’m imagining this sizzling noise when the piss and water mix, and a pale yellow fog collecting around his ankles like he threw some dry ice in the water
3/4 to 1 and 1/2 canteens per hour per day is the recommendation for soldiers working in inclement weather, and even piss that clear wouldn’t get me pissing in the shower.
The piss vapor hitting me in the face is really not magnificent.
Please come back. :-( My life has come to a halt.
I’m always there, lurking in the shower.

Are you pissing into a fan?
No but into the draining warm water in the tub creating a piss vapor. You’re telling me you don’t know what I’m talking about?
Missing neon yellow for “took a multivitamin”
I don’t see “vapor” on that chart.
Oh man, I’ve pissed in the shower most days for years and have never once taken piss vapor to the face. What am I doing wrong?
Not enough helicopter.
I sometimes piss in a jug in the back of the work van. When its cold out it gets pretty steamy and stinky.
I think you might have bad kidneys
Nah, I’ve got bad kidneys, and I manage not to piss in my own face 🤷🏼♂️
Maybe they just like asparagus.
I have no idea what you are talking about. And brother, I have been pissing my entire life.
Edit: I really need you to come back here and explain “piss vapor”.
How can you tell that this is even happening? There isn’t a visible yellow mist. There isn’t a smell.

lmfao I’m over here on the shitter just trying to pass the time and I’m now almost crying
Drink more water bruh.
3/4 to 1 and 1/2 canteens per hour per day is the recommendation for soldiers working in inclement weather, and even piss that clear wouldn’t get me pissing in the shower.
And what’s that in non freedom units?
That equals about one metric fuck tonne.
If you’ve ever pissed on a campfire after eating asparagus, no piss related vapors will ever faze you again.
Ask me how I know.
Roasting fresh asparagus over a wood fire? Nice.
Add butter, garlic, rosemary, and coarse ground salt.
