And if you somehow disagree with flushing it down if it is brown, I suppose I would like to hear about that as well.

    Piss smells when it has been sitting for hours and hours. If your piss is totally clear, you are over hydrated. You don’t need to be drinking an excessive amount of water unless you have particular needs. Normal urine should have a slight yellow tinge.

    Just because you’ve gone nose blind to your piss filled toilet, doesn’t mean that people you have over will be. I had a grandfather that absolutely never flushed for urine and his place smelled disgusting whenever I would go for a visit.

      Over hydrated? Not possible. I drink 4l a day and my piss is never yellow and doesn’t smell. If your piss is yellow, you need more water and less non water drinks like coffee, soda/pop.

        Yup, it’s possible. You can fuck up your electrolyte balance by drinking excessive amounts of water.

        Believe it or not, you can even die from drinking excessive amounts of water. It’s rare and you’d have to try pretty hard to do so, but it’s more than possible.

        Urine also has a smell. You don’t notice it when just pissing into a bowl of water, but if you let it sit for hours and hours it can become gross.
