I’ve done plumbing work before, it’s all pipes, people. Piss to your heart’s content, you’re not hurting anything

In any country, I would think.
Even where grey water systems are deployed for water re-use, shower water /is/ normally collected, but piss would be so diluted as to be a negligable contaminant. A shower uses roughly 70 litres of water. An average human bladder voiding is 400ml, so that works out at 0.57% piss in the grey water collected in a single shower. Negligable.
Piss away.

That’s not even what I’m criticizing. You said you’ve done pipe jobs, and it’s all pipes: you can only attest for where you have worked
And no, in some places water may be used very differently. Pee may contain a lot of unwanted chemicals, especially when the person is medicated
Edit: In cities in western countries of course most of the time it’s all going to the same place. But I don’t think that’s why it’s taboo to pee in the shower. It’s because it’s seen as unhealthy for the other people using the shower / bathtub

How would it be unhealthy? Do you not wash your ass in the shower? Does spit and snot not come out of your body in the shower?

I have a slow drain so the shower ends up with a shallow puddle by the end. So, no, I don’t like standing in a puddle of my own pee.
But otherwise, pipes is pipes. No judgement here.

Look up a product called Thrift. You can get it on Amazon. It’s a type of flake drain cleaner, comes in a bottle. Basically run your shower on super hot for a few minutes to heat up the pipe, then pour a bunch of this stuff down, and a bit more hot water. Leave it alone for a few minutes, then flush with hot water. Unlike Drano, this stuff actually works. Originally I found it on a plumbing subreddit. I’ve done it to my shower a few times and it seems to have a longer lasting effect every time, like it’s actually cleaning out the pipe.
Hot tubs are way too finnicky for that you should not be peeing in them!!!

There was a whole community about that back on the other website. We should get a sink pissers community going on Lemmy
We have one. It’s pretty inactive. Last time I posted there someone was giving me shit for pissing in the sink. Like why are you here? lol.

There are two types of people in the world. People who pee in the shower and those that lie about not peeing in the shower.

You know this was the line our sex ed teacher gave us in 5th grade.
Except about masturbation.

It’s used in all types of settings… Race car drivers say there are two types of drivers those that pee in the car and those that lie about it…
No, because it’s right there next to the toilet and I don’t want to get pee on my feet.

Strange story for you… I had very bad athletes foot for many years. All the off the shelf powders and creams didn’t help at all. Someone told me to pee on my feet to cure it, I didnt believe them but tried it anyways. Worked amazingly quickly. Occasionally I do it still but not all the time. Haven’t had athletes foot in over 25 years… I’m so sorry for the story. 😂

You still pee on your feet occasionally as some kind of preventative you’re saying?
- MeowWeHaveAProblem@toast.oooEnglish13 days
Yep that’s the idea. Not actually sure if its preventing anything… But it hasn’t come back. Its in the shower so I don’t care. Finish washing up and spray the shower with cleaner when im done. 😂

Our shower drains into the grey water tank and then to our fruit tree irrigation line, so… Of course yes.

I’ve done the maths!

An average human bladder voiding is 400ml, so that works out at 0.57% piss in the grey water collected in a single shower. Negligable - but for fruit trees, a fertiliser.

The shower is the only place i pee and as for poo, well that’s a story for another time…

There was a campaign in Brazil urging people to pee in the shower to save water.

Of course, and occasionally I also poop in the shower. It’s always funny to stomp it down the drain.

I know it’s a running gag on the internet but I unironically think there’s someone who actually does this
