Peeing Is Overrated!!

Let’s be honest — peeing is overrated. Yes, it’s a biological necessity, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a massive inconvenience. It interrupts your day, breaks your focus, and often comes at the most inconvenient times. You’re in the middle of a great conversation? Suddenly, you have to excuse yourself. Long road trip? Better factor in those rest stop detours. Trying to sleep through the night? Nope — nature’s calling at 3 a.m.
This might sound controversial, but I hate it so much. It is such a hassle and the unfortunate reality is you cannot just skip peeing for the rest of your life…but oh boy I wish you could.
I wish you could snap your fingers whenever you need to pee and have the feeling go away. My personal record without peeing is 36 hours. It’s quite the achievement I must say. Unfortunately, when I brag to my friends about it I am met with a lot of eye rolls and confusion. I want to go against the norm and say I wish I never had to pee again.
I used to enjoy it. I would time myself to see how long I could pee for, I used to spell my name in the snow and draw pictures, I used to play games like abruply stopping my pee midstream then continuing again then stopping again then continuing. But now it feels like a time consuming chore.
I took the time to write down some pee facts:
• Did you know the average person pees 6-7 times a day?
•The average adult produces 6.3 cups of urine per day.
•The world record for longest pee is 8.5 minutes. I’m currently sitting around the 2 minute mark.
•Cat pee is glow in the dark.
•Ancient Roman’s found out it can make your teeth whiter if you rinse your mouth with it.
Pee facts are not that interesting because peeing is overrated.
Is There a Better Way?
Science has made incredible strides in medicine and human health. We’ve developed artificial hearts, bionic limbs, and even lab-grown organs. So why haven’t we figured out a way to reduce or eliminate the need to pee? Imagine a pill that removes excess liquid without the need for a bathroom visit. Or better yet, a way for our bodies to naturally reabsorb fluids, cutting down the need for urination altogether.
It’s not that peeing doesn’t serve a purpose — it’s essential for eliminating waste and maintaining balance in the body. But does it need to be so frequent? So intrusive? So inconvenient? Surely there’s a smarter, more efficient way for our bodies to handle this process.
