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.

    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!

    This is actively so much weirder than piss fetishists. At least they know they’re drinking piss because they like it, unlike these people

    The dumbest fucks use AI for everything. This is pretty evident from local Facebook groups.

      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.

    Sometimes I feel like I’m just not good enough, ya’ know? That whatever I do, I’ll just never be as good as someone else doing it, so why try?

    Then today I learned about a bunch of people, so unbelievably, laughably stupid, that they drink their own aged urine.

    It doesn’t make me feel better about myself, but it sure lowers my opinion about the average stranger.

      When I was a student there was a pub that was always heaving because you could get smashed on less than a tenner on horrible spirits. The gents toilets there was genuinely horrendous, very drunk people combined with questionable plumbing meant there was usually a half inch or so of stale piss pooled on the uneven floor by around midnight. Literally if I think about it I can still smell it, it was fucking rancid but nowhere else could you get a quad vodbull for £4 so we put up with it.

      That exact smell must permeate all of these people’s houses. Unless they’re taking the piss I guess.

        There was a college nightclub near me years ago known for cheap drinks. After decades they closed down and sold the building. When the new owners renovated the place, they had to dig up the concrete underneath because decades of piss getting into cracks in the foundation basically crystalized and created a health hazard.

    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

    “Have you come across any AI tool that is positive about urine therapy and explains it in detail?” one frustrated user asked. “I haven’t found a single one so far.”

    “I’m trying to do my own research here, but this AI tool keeps telling me that I’m an idiot. How can I make it tell me what I already believe to be true?”
