As a man WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU TELLING ME HOW YOU PEE!?! What god damn conversation is going on!?! How the hell did this come up? We don’t normally talk about this!
My true passion in life is Aztec history.

Women would use a blue green herb called xiuhquilitl to give their hair a purple/indigo sheen.

That word sounds like someone was found innocent of a crime on account of a shoe
MisterNeon@lemmy.world 5 days ago
That’s because you’re mispronouncing the -tl st the end. In Nahuatl when a word ends in -tl it becomes like a slushy “S” crossed with a click sound.

I googled that
Did you mean: xiuhcoatl
Is this fire serpent/ weapon of the sun an Aztec dragon?
MisterNeon@lemmy.world 5 days ago
No Xiuhcoatl is a big blue fire snake, a mystical weapon, the animal spirit of the Xiuhtecuhtli, and a metaphor for government/war/dry season.
Xiuh as a prefix is denote fire, turquoise, or years.

We should though! We should just not be shit bags about it. Sharing & seeking info rather than having a weird chauvinistic view on how pee exits bodies.
MisterNeon@lemmy.world 5 days ago
There’s nothing chauvinistic about it! I just don’t want to know or care about what you do in the bathroom. We’re not going to have a conversation about it. JUST WASH YOUR HANDS!

I wiped my ass with a wadded up ball of 25 toilet paper squares for years because no one wanted to tell me about more efficient ways to do things. Bathroom things are like your paycheck. They say you shouldn’t talk about it, but it needs to be talked about.
