Why do we even wash our clothes? Just to dirty them again? Life is a prison.

I’m not wasting perfectly good drinking piss just to wash some clothes
cRazi_man@europe.pub 2 weeks ago
To get the proper drinking experience, make sure to let it age in your bladder for at least a couple of hours. If you’re not going to age it properly then might as well use it for the washing machine.

It’s only piss if it comes from the piss region of France. Otherwise it’s just sparkling urine.

Urea-lly need to stop doing that.

But then it should be communal. OUR pee, to make the tankies happy.

You have to let it age iirc, something to do with urea and ammonia
iocase@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
When our bodies metabolize protein they produce ammonia which is toxic to us, so our liver combines it into urea which is ~20X less toxic in our bloodstream (fish don’t do this because they can always pee the ammonia out their gills)
Urea of course breaks down into ammonia, which is alkaline and polar. It does a decent job of dissolving fat and grease.
Its also why i buy unscented ammonia and add about a cup or so to my laundry (especially for bedding) to help extract even more oils from it. It seems to work quite well and it’s cheap.

I you can save one small flush of water with that, so I’d say it’s a-okey!
devaly@ani.social 2 weeks ago
I prefer to do it in the dish washer, since it uses even less water.

Reddit has changed so much.
r/sinkpissed USED to be full ironic posts. “Haha, what if”, with no actual sink pissing. Not anymore…

Wait was there a legitimate use for piss in the olden days?
Was piss used to wash clothes?
I dont rember if it was water down a hill where human bodies were buried or if piss was collected directly in PISS BUCKETS for washing.
esc@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
There were a lot of legitimate uses for urine. It was used in tanning, for cleaning, for making gunpowder.

PattyMcB@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
They used to wash clothes down the river from burial ground because the lye mixed with human remains resulted in a natural soap leeching into the ground water/river

Guess it’s time to dig up Grandma for some natural soap

The saying “Not even a pot to piss in.” doesnt just mean you have nothing, it also refers to the fact you couldnt even make any money because if you had a pot you could sell your urine.

Never heard this one (not native English speaking) but it sounds plausible !
bountygiver@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
The water can only dilute dirty stuff so much. Shouldn’t you rinse any items that are too dirty through running water first before throwing it into the washing machine?
InFerNo@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
I thought the machine did that because it only releases the soap in a later stage. But I also think the machine reuses water a lot to save on water.

Matured piss was used for washing clothes. Next time bottle it up and use after 2 weeks of fermenting.

Not sure why I’d want to dirty up my clothes even more before a wash
pHr34kY@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Once my dog pissed on a sheet and I threw it in the machine without even rinsing it.
Everything I washed for the next week smelled like dog piss.
There’s only so much piss a washing machine can take.

That sounds like a washing machine issue to me.
hakase@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Absolutely. If my washing machine can handle a full load of pissy cloth diapers every night, it should definitely be able to handle one sheet with dog piss on it.
idunnololz@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Washing machinese should have an index on how much piss they can handle in one load /s

Point of order, do you use detergent?
