A thread for nothing

[Marie Monday]

We've got sweat, pubes, dead skin, etc falling off in our showers every time we shower and some of you puritans are baffled by also releasing a little salt and water from our bladder which is immediately drained down? 

It's not like we're waffle-stomping over here. And of course, when I'm showering with my wife, I refrain from peeing...we're just not into that. 

dead skin is less gross than urine, so is sweat and even pubes. Another difference is that the dead skin and sweat are just unavoidable; I actually make a point of rinsing down the pubes. And more importantly, if you piss in the shower it'll do more splattering than your sweat being rinsed down, so it'll get on the walls etc. and the shower water spraying around may not catch it all. All in all, piss is also rinsed down the toilet bowl immediately, but you wouldn't step in there either

Great thread 😂

As a guy, I must say, this doesn't happen to me. Not to be too explicit, but just explaining generally, I point my junk right where the shower stream is coming down, in the direction of the drain. No splattering, no mess. Then, my next step, make my obligatory caveman grunts, and then it all goes where it needs to and gets washed away. And you're right, I don't step in toilets, but that's because, beyond the fact that it's not a place that has any useful purpose to step in, I also shit in there, and on very rare occasions, barf in there.

...Shocking tbh. I've been unknowingly surrounded by barbarians. I thought it might just be a british thing lol ...

If I came round to your house and scratched my balls with your cutlery or farted on your dinner plates, you wouldn't catch anything but you wouldn't want to eat with them afterward, would you?

Please, jimmy jazz !! Marie already has a bad enough impression of the British.

the grunt sound waves push the piss towards the drain with echokinesis? Are you perhaps the lovechild of Matilda and a bat?

Exactly! (but don't mention bats anymore, besides grasshoppers, that's the only other animal that terrifies me)

And it's funny you mention Matilda    - as a young boy, I was rather obsessed with that movie. I watched it over, and over, and over again on VHS tape. Zoomers today won't understand "Be kind, and rewind!".

Peeing in the shower is a little gross, but I definitely rank it as harmless and, as long as you're alone, a victimless crime.

Once when I was a kid in school, we had gym and I badly needed to pee and did so in the shower after. I tried to be discreet, but to my horror it was noticed by someone else 😅

So I got teased a bit about that and never did it again. Well, at least not in that kind of setting.

Is Nafo NATO only run by dogs?

Apparently space has a smell a bit like bacon or burnt meat.

I've heard astronauts say that, but I'm not convinced of the veracity of it. Who am I to question astronauts, but you technically can't smell anything in space without oxygen right? Makes me wonder how the entire experience of being in space affects the brain and neurological functions.

[Marie Monday]

I'm suspicious of that claim too because space is just very empty. What would there be to smell?

Made me think of this:

The universe's largest black holes. Them and their quazars of old are just mind boggling.. as well as neutron stars and magnetars and everything else. Also, I love Kurzgesagt.

I also read the bacon smell thing and was sceptical for the same reason @Marie Monday mentions, but I think I watched a video where that Chris astronaut answers questions about being an astronaut etc. and I think he confirmed that one.

Edit:

Found the video! He starts talking about it just before a couple of minutes in.

^ Thanks for the research, Guybrush, but strictly speaking, doesn't he end up debunking the myth?! He says that's how the outside of the space vehicle would smell, if we could exist in the vacuum of space.

Yeah, all that stuff about the universe is mind boggling: its age, its size, and all the weird things in it.
Even the sizes and distances in the Solar System are difficult to grasp. I imagine most of us have seen one of those football-field scale model simulations on YouTube, but here's something I thought was quite cool: a permanent model in Melbourne:-
