Are you even sciencing if you don't drink some piss you found in a beaker somewhere?

Observation: this looks like piss} Question: is this piss?} Hypothesis: this is probably piss} Experiment: drink the piss} Analysis: tastes like piss} Conclusion: it’s piss

Sometimes it be like that.

could also check for urea content, or proteins, but sure why not drink it

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago

I mean, drinking it (well tasting) used to be the legit way of testing it.

Inconclusive: the data is also a perfect fit for domestic American light beer.

How do you know it tastes like piss if you've never tasted piss before?

Better piss in a cup and taste it to make sure we get a nice baseline.

Worse health-wise, but probably not worse in how disgusting one would think it is to drink.

Well, you could say beer is yeast piss.

I'll have another (lab brewed yeast piss. From malted grain. Sometimes with hops)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

"Sinking piss" is Australian for drinking.

malted grain

You mean aborted barley fetuses?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

My mistake!

Roasted fetal barley abortions.

Thanks for the wake up
