Big fan of the educational content on 196.
this feels very over the top, i don’t think it’s a good idea to force yourself to drink a bunch of water just because your pee is dark…
Just use the colour as a general indicator, if you routinely have dark urine that means you should keep easier access to water during the day, and if it’s ever amber just go chug a glass right away (not an entire bottle, what the fuck).
DRINK A GLASS OF WATER NOW.
DO IT
RIGHT NOW
DROP EVERYTHING ELSE
Found the hydrohomies. NOW, DO IT.
How the hell do people think this should work? It’s really easy to notice if you are thirsty and then drink water. Not thirsty, no drinky. I don’t need a diagram for this
some people, for example people who have adhd can have a hard time keeping track, you can just kinda stop noticing your bodily needs for water, food or even needing to use the bathroom
Sure, I know, but this stuff is everywhere. Drink 30 liters per day
its purple. what do i do?
Twist your nurples until all the purple drains out.

You’ve reached the opposite side of the color wheel. Congratulations on perfect health! Source: also a PhD (Perfect health doctor).
I can honestly say I never have (and still never will) put any more thought into this other than “yellow or clear.” The day I pull this chart out and hold it against my toilet bowl, please send me to the home.
You can just piss on your phone for easier comparison. You’re welcome
Ooh good idea
found jerma’s lemmy account
What if it glows a pale blue in the dark?
You need iodine pills
Makes sense, I would also assume this is caused by cherenkov radiation.
Maybe I should lay off the Nuka Quantum… 🤔
Orcs are near.
Then you are Henning Brand, who boiled down 1200 gallons of urine until it started to glow: https://sciencehistory.org/stories/magazine/hennig-brandt-and-the-discovery-of-phosphorus/
That’d be so cool, I’d want to buy a bottle of your piss
What if its solid?
Consider replacing one of your kidneys.
If it’s clear, tour drinking too much water, be careful with that too.
People can die from over-hydration and dehydration
it’s actively difficult to die from overhydration though, you’re most likely to vomit before you even come close to it.

It isn’t really about dying of too much water; the real problem is losing vitamins and other things from too much peeing
If you are at a 7 or 8 on the regular you’ve got bigger problems than dehydration. That’s liver or kidney failure territory.
I only drink the straw yellow stuff, the other flavors are too strong.
There’s a sign at work like this, but 4 and 5 are the wrong way round and it drives me nuts.
I prefer the one that illustrates it using types of beer and advises seeking medical attention if it’s the color of a stout 😁
Red ales weren’t included in the chart, probably because they assumed people knew…

See now you say that, but I ended up getting rushed to hospital for a kidney stone after peeing blood on and off for a week.
Don’t underestimate stupid.
Nowadays if I’m anxious I will actually dream/have nightmares about peeing blood. It’s not fun.
PSA: If you’re peeing blood, that’s not a good thing. Go to hospital immediately.
I AM PISSING PURE WATER

What if I am over hydrated?
You need to drink piss now, obviously
