If you are here asking: "Is this a science meme?"
Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn't need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.
Science isn't a filing cabinet of facts, it's a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what's under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.
We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.
See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.

"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."
You'd die of water poisoning
100% of the people who have consumed dihydrogen monoxide will eventually die.
Electrolytes
From a drinking fountain?
It has what the plants crave
That's what makes regenerative farming so good, all that piss and shit make it great for the crops, no need for other fertilizers
Do plants crave kidneys failure
I'm just saying you could slip in a bite of beef jerky or raw-dog some Gatorade powder once in a while
Been to an airport that had that. (Lost the picture though. !remindme Christmas)
You’re gonna want to add some salt to that gallon you’re drinking, ask me how I know
Hyponatremia.
Hypo-, meaning low; -natr- derived from natrium, Latin for sodium; -emia, meaning presence in blood.
Low sodium presence in blood.
Huge chubby emu ref
Presenting…
☝️
How u know
I'm also curious. Is there a particular kind of salt?
Epsom
Isn't Epsom salt like a majority water?
Would that prevent hyperhydration, or would you need it to have more than just salt? 🤔
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.
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!
What's a 'gallon' in normal volume measurements?
It's about 1.5 goat stomachs, mate
Depends. Which gallon are you talking about? The British one or the American one? Or one of the other ones...?
Either ~4.55 L (imperial) or ~3.79 L (US).
Ugh. Why do they do this to us?
My employer is not liking this strategy,..
Always pee on company time!
You're going to need to replace a few electrolytes also.
Brawndo?
It's like a salty Hoosier unable to remember suit because he got not-paper rich hustling people that forgot what games are for. That's why they got stripped of major from the deck. Removing a point of game doesn't remove reality like pushing a delete button in the third grave doesn't remind you that math was fucking important. What's a fucking pun, anyway?
You know a good hack is you can just lie about having to use the bathroom.
/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
