Drinking Fountains

"I've always wondered whether you could drink slowly enough, and eliminate fast enough, that you just sort of peed continuously. But I'm afraid to try because I worry someone might call while I'm doing it and ask what I'm up to, and I won't be able to think of a lie."

I'm just saying you could slip in a bite of beef jerky or raw-dog some Gatorade powder once in a while

I'm also curious. Is there a particular kind of salt?

Isn't Epsom salt like a majority water?

Would that prevent hyperhydration, or would you need it to have more than just salt? 🤔

lol no. It says "a day". It says nothing about when exercising or sweating your ass off outside when you might need to actually care about adding salt.

I drink about a gallon a day of water and my normal diet replenishes things just fine. Your kidneys shouldn't be dumping a bunch of stuff out that you're already low on. They're not mindless filters that run at a constant rate.

at my former job, my boss was a nosy little.. nice lady....
Anyways, i had a mysterious bladder infection all the time. Any time she would waddle her ass towards me i suddenly had to go to the bathroom. Sometimes multiple times!

Depends. Which gallon are you talking about? The British one or the American one? Or one of the other ones...?

Either ~4.55 L (imperial) or ~3.79 L (US).

Ugh. Why do they do this to us?

You're going to need to replace a few electrolytes also.

So, the modern day version of smoking? Oh, wait. They’d listen to each other, rather than be chuckle fucks — okay, there were some.
