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

    Flush every time. Piss stinks and leaving it in the toilet causes those nasty water-level rings of scum on the toilet bowl. Fucking disgusting.

      I grew up in a household that rarely flushed and never in my life did I see those rings. Maybe my mom just cleaned the toilet more often? She still doesn’t flush pee but she has her own washroom so it’s a her problem.

    It fucking smells after a few hours. If you have more than one toilet in your house, this can be a real issue if you invite people over.

    I went through a period where I was under doctor’s orders to treat any fluid produced by my body as a biohazard. That meant any time I urinated I had to close the lid and flush twice. So yeah, there was no mellowing in that case.

    The more it mellows, the more it smells, especially if you have a healthy diet. The person following has to deal with that smell which worsens the moment the water is agitated.

    It’s also a breeding ground, so you’ll be cleaning much more frequently.

    Only if your city has directed saving water in a drought scenario should you be not flushing your waste.

    I live in a desert and have my water trucked in every 3 weeks at significant cost.

    Flush every time. Piss smells.

    Allways flush, leaving pee in the bowl will cause stains and make it look disgusting

    Whoever came up with “if it’s yellow let it mellow” is a disgusting person. Piss smells. Yes, yours too. Flush the damn toilet!

    Always flush. I have a septic tank and if you don’t make sure to run some minimum amount of water into it, it’ll get crusty and start to have clog problems. As long as we’re running water though it’s great for 8-10 years between pumps.
    Better to just run more water when possible.

    Also it’s nasty if someone goes to take a dump and there’s piss chilling in there. If you get hit with Posideon’s kiss it’s gonna be double nasty. So you flush it before doing your business and now the net effect is zero anyway, wasting the effort. Blech.

    Always flush. I don’t want to drop a log and have that piss water splash on to me. Not to mention that it just stains the bowl and sometimes smells. Just flush, cause if I see it’s not clear water, I’m going to flush anyway.

      First of all, if you can’t smell the uric acid and urea in piss, there’s probably something wrong with your nose.

      Piss sitting in a bowl for hours will become really stinky later. When leaving the body of a healthy person, piss can be considered sterile. Once it’s exposed to air and sits in a bowl however, microorganisms will start living off of it and will reproduce, which alters it and often creates extra smells.

      This has nothing to do with how much water you drink. It’s just because of urine is how the body gets rid off waste. There are spores in the air and bacteria clinging to difficult to reach areas of the bowl, as well as living in the pipes beyond it. Those will reach the bowl and find some of the waste can still nourish them.

        K but if you’re drinking water regularly, you’re going to be peeing regularly. So you’re probably not leaving it to sit for hours. Flush every two pees and it’s no problem!

      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.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urine#Color

          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.
