You leave it in there long enough it might get cloudy enough for you not to see it.

That's when you add the noodles and let it sit for another six minutes.

This is like eating bugs. Everyone eats bugs all the time, it is awareness of the bugs and bug to food ratio that tends to cause hesitation.

Dilution is the solution to this pollution

There are molecules of human shit in every pool and they get into your mouth. The density is just not enough to feel the taste or become ill

That old guy swimming in front of you probably forgot to wipe or wash his ass so the density is getting close to detectable sometimes

As they say the dose makes the poison. See ya at the pool

Lots of various kinds of poops on the ocean too...

Thus, chlorination.

the chlorine is a pretty important factor, at least in the not becoming ill department

Cmon don’t ruin it, I bet someone will skip their pool today

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The salt water helps.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

There's also a water-to-corpse ratio that helps.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Similar to the water:piss ratio regarding (US?) swimming pools, insofar as the knowledge that the "nostalgic" smell of swimming pools is not the comforting presence of chlorine so many believe it to be, and is in fact the confirmation of a volume of piss in the water that is rapidly nearing the extent of said chlorine's capacity to neutralize (sapped also by ceaseless sunshine & innumerable contaminants hitching rides on patrons' oblivious meatsacs).

In short: if you smell "pool", someone(s) have pissed in it. A lot.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Chlorine reacts with a lot more than piss and you should be far more concerned if you don't smell it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Good tip, though the water:piss ratio still stands.

Agreed, I take showers in the morning but sometimes I’ll end the night with a really hot bath, it helps my body not hurt in the morning if I’ve been working hard that day. I will take a piss before I get in the tub but I’ll be damned if I don’t almost always pee some while I’m laying in the tub relaxing. It’s never seemed to be anything to give a shit about to me but some people do seem hyper sensitive to that kind of thing. My partner and I have peed while in the bathtub together before and it didn’t gross either of us out. Maybe it would be more gross if our urine was dark yellow or more noticeable beyond feeling the warmth for less than a minute.

Nope, too much piss. Also, "peed while in the bathtub together" is a bit too far, and that's not even including possible eye contact. To illustrate: what simple thing makes eating a banana in public creepy/hot? Eye contact. You do you, but stay outta my tub.
