"Mmmm. AH! It's Todd!

"This piss... Jeff? Strange, it's so sweet. Jeff my dude, you need to go see a doctor"

[–] Dicska@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

"I'm Brenda."

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 2 weeks ago

wild experiment indeed

[–] NotSteve_@piefed.ca 25 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

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

[–] Patches@ttrpg.network 13 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Gotta stop at the piss room before anyone finds out

[–] Patches@ttrpg.network 4 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago

Identifying Diabético Debbie is gonna be a piece of cake.

[–] mcbenavides85@piefed.social 8 points 2 weeks ago

Damn Steve always eats asparagus.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks ago

maybe we should taste piss more often...

That you, Bear Grylls?

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

Do you recognize your friends by their farts?

[–] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

There's always that one.

Same with close family.

[–] The_v@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago

The one that eats too much protein, definitely.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks 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?

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 2 weeks ago

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

[–] ruuster13@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 weeks ago

Me, dialoguing with myself to enter the public pool:

[–] krunklom@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago

Maybe the second part, not so much the first.

Either almost every animal is a fish or there is no such thing as a fish.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Not sure about the "almost every" part since the vast majority of animals are invertebrates, but otherwise yes.

That was part of the joke; but valid. Kinky sea mammals.

[–] I_am_10_squirrels@beehaw.org 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ass fish versus sea mammal

Dolphins stay freaky

[–] Bobbysaurus@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago
[–] littletranspunk@lemmus.org 5 points 1 week ago

Trust but verify, now piss in my mouth!

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 2 weeks ago

dogs and cats do the same.

[–] Hugin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Wait till you learn about lobsters.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] salty_chief@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago

Would feeding dolphins Asparagus be eco terrorism? Or?

[–] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

Bear Grylls as a dolphin

[–] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Is this what the British mean by "taking the piss"? Are we friends yet?
