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

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

wild experiment indeed

[–] NotSteve_@piefed.ca 25 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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 months 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 months 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 months ago (1 children)

Gotta stop at the piss room before anyone finds out

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

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

Talk about double standards

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 22 points 2 months 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 months 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 months ago

Identifying Diabético Debbie is gonna be a piece of cake.

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

maybe we should taste piss more often...

That you, Bear Grylls?

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

Do you recognize your friends by their farts?

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

There's always that one.

Same with close family.

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

The one that eats too much protein, definitely.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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 months ago

Maybe the second part, not so much the first.

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months 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 2 months ago

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

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

Me, dialoguing with myself to enter the public pool:

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

[–] grue@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months 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 months ago (1 children)

Ass fish versus sea mammal

[–] scathliath@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

As with us all. Amen

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

So, we're not so different after all

[–] mfed1122@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 months ago

Dolphins stay freaky

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 8 points 2 months ago

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

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

Trust but verify, now piss in my mouth!

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

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

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

Wait till you learn about lobsters.

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

dogs and cats do the same.

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

Bear Grylls as a dolphin

[–] Patches@ttrpg.network 3 points 2 months ago

Would feeding dolphins Asparagus be eco terrorism? Or?

[–] salty_chief@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months 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.”

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

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