Man I wish I could go years without peeing. Would save so much time

Only if the alternative was doing nothing. Having to sit down and stay still in a chair for many hours whilst hooked up to machinery doesn't sound like much of an improvement.

Who needs machinery when you have this bad boy?

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me.

Sure beats asking Mom to bring the bucket!

To quote Cartman:"MOM! BATHROOM!"

I mean, isn't that what we basically all do for at least 8h a day anyway? Except that our machinery has screens and Internet.

What? And miss getting a hit of those sweet sweet endorphins every time I have a full-to-bursting bladder and unleash the torrential riptide?

It was the most convenient thing, unless you ate something too salty or get the water crazies.

Because then you start to drown in your own lungs.

But, watching any show, movie, or playing a game without having to pee was very convenient

How much time are you spending peeing? Is it that much of a burden on your schedule?

I’d think pooping or brushing your teeth would be much worse.

Doing all three at the same time seems unappealing.

Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
Keep it rooted (on topic).

Infographics welcome, get schooled.

If you are here asking: "Is this a science meme?"

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn't need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn't a filing cabinet of facts, it's a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what's under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.

See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.
