Everyone is friends with Dale and his sweet-ass pee. Fucking diabetes.

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 1 week ago

wild experiment indeed

I remember reading that naked mole rat colonies do something similar. They have a piss room that they all use and they'll make sure to roll around in it to get themselves coated in the smell. If they come across any other naked mole rats in the wild and they smell like different pee, they'll know they've run into a sworn enemy and fight

So if one of them ever gets caught in the rain? They're "dead to me"

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

"Brother, I am home! Boy it's really coming down out there!"

"I've never met this man before in my life."

[–] Rolder@reddthat.com 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Gotta stop at the piss room before anyone finds out

[–] Patches@ttrpg.network 4 points 1 week ago

Get the feeling the piss drawer is their most closely guarded room at the center of the hive.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 week ago

sure, if naked mole rats do it, it's suddenky fine.

Talk about double standards

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wait, so Dolphins do it too?

Pissing in water to dolphins is like us farting in the air

It's their atmosphere they live in and if you emit a substance in that atmosphere (no matter how disgusting), you'll sense it

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Well I don't know about everyone else, but I've never been able to identify friends from the smell of their farts.

Maybe the dolphins are onto something, maybe we should taste piss more often...

[–] HowAbt2day@futurology.today 10 points 1 week ago

Identifying Diabético Debbie is gonna be a piece of cake.

[–] mcbenavides85@piefed.social 9 points 1 week ago

Damn Steve always eats asparagus.

maybe we should taste piss more often...

That you, Bear Grylls?

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Do you recognize your friends by their farts?

[–] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There's always that one.

Same with close family.

[–] The_v@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

A rancid unholy stench from the depths of hell wafts imin from the outside as the door opens. Your are temporarily blinded as tears come to your eyes.

"Hello,Uncle Mike."

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

The one that eats too much protein, definitely.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'm really bad with faces but so far I've avoided having to do this. But I AM getting older.

[–] Dicska@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

You might be bad with faces, but how about faeces?

All I want in life is someone to douse me in hot piss and cuddle me to sleep.

Really, isn't that what everyone wants?

Sigh.

[–] TeddE@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Let me get you a hood and I know a group you'll fit right in with. Bonus points if you like belly scritches and wagging your tail.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 4 points 1 week ago

Maybe the second part, not so much the first.

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

When you think about it, they have to swim in everybody's piss. So, not much they can do there.

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago

Basically the equivalent of dogs sniffing each other's butts if you think about it.

[–] ruuster13@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

Me, dialoguing with myself to enter the public pool:

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

So, we're not so different after all

[–] mfed1122@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 week ago

Dolphins stay freaky

"For the last time: No, I don't wanna be your fucking friend, Flipper!"

[–] littletranspunk@lemmus.org 5 points 1 week ago

Trust but verify, now piss in my mouth!

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 1 week ago

dogs and cats do the same.

[–] Hugin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Wait till you learn about lobsters.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago

I swear dolphins are one of the few animals that can compete with humans for sheer kinkiness.

[–] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Bear Grylls as a dolphin

[–] salty_chief@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Dolphin squeaking noises “Hey buddy you may want to get checked for diabetes. You’re tasting a little sugary bud.”

Dolphin squeaking noises “Mind your own business and stop eating kale all the damn time.”

[–] Patches@ttrpg.network 3 points 1 week ago

Would feeding dolphins Asparagus be eco terrorism? Or?

The rich have been trying to be our friends for centuries, since they're always pissing all over us.
