Oooooh...

Sometimes my piss smells like sugar, but it often smells like a lot of things. Usually piss. Sometimes asparagus.

guys stop smelling your own piss just flush it

If it can help to alert you to a potential medical issue and then you go see the doctor; I don’t see it as bad thing.

I’ve tasted my own piss before to see if it was sweet.

[–] Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works 27 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Well don't leave us hanging. Was it?

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 4 months ago (2 children)

It was not. It was rather bland actually but I do be hydrated all the time.

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 19 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Need to try again next week, don’t give up so easily

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Why next week? We need daily samples.

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Thank you, sugar in your ~~tea~~ pee!

It's actually beneficial for controlling your health to monitor piss and poo. Not to obsessively investigate it. But just to know what's normal for you so you know when to worry.

[–] bollybing@lemmynsfw.com 18 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Very much this. You don't have to eat all of it, a tablespoon or two to taste is enough.

[–] Whitebrow@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Is there another way besides scooping it from the bowl? I don’t like when the dirty toilet water touches my spoon

[–] Fontasia@feddit.nl 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Hence the "poop shelf" which has taken over toilets in the last decade

[–] naught101@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

In what country? I saw them in Germany decades ago, but I haven't seen one in Australia yet

[–] Fontasia@feddit.nl 2 points 4 months ago

Go look at a Bunnings or Reece, 90% of their models since about 2018 have been with poop shelves. Granted, that does mean it will take a while before they're everywhere, but it's only a matter of time.

I've gotten top ramen before, same with apple jacks.

The first piss after coffee has a distinct smell haha

It can be other things than diabetes as well, like an infection or liver failure.

Hopefully you were in the bathroom when you relieved yourself.

I know I was.

[–] marx2k@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I was. It smelled like coca cola

[–] mvirts@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Get yo self a glucometer if you're thinking about it, diabeetus is real obvious once you start using the right tools. Also they're super cheap these days.

[–] tacosplease@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Mine frequently smells like whatever meat I ate, especially after eating a couple chili dogs or smoked meat.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Everyone’s talking about the smell, but I’m thinking about the colour after I eat a bunch of beets

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Living amongst avid beet eaters, I never noticed a color change. Guess i metabolize beets particularly well, which is neat.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago

My pee comes out pink. It’s startling!

[–] Justas@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago

Could be artificial sweeteners.
