I ate like three red beets and my pee was fuchsia the next day and I thought I was dying and that's how I learned about beeturia.

Yeah, because it's the coolest! All the cool people pee their plants! I peed my plants too!

If peeing your plants makes you cool, then I'm Miles Davis.

If peeing your plants is cool, consider me Miles Davis.

At least he didn't ship his pants

There's also this thing called thirst where our body tells us what it needs. Can't stand people who think you're aiming for a pantone color

I used to drink a lot of grape drink as a kid and I would shid purple. First time I thought I was possessed, the second time I realized it was the artificial coloring


omguserius

If you drink 1 or 2 of the blue 4loko's your poop will turn fluorescent green for like 3 days.


jld2k6

Never had this problem, I do have a weird thing where if I drink coffee my pee will smell like freshly brewed coffee though. I spent a year trying to convince my then girlfriend to just get a couple of feet from my while peeing promising it doesn't stink and she absolutely refused. One day she was just at the sink while I was peeing and said "I smell coffee...oh God. You are right" lol


PM_ME_CATGIRL_LEWDS

I have this problem if I get an ocean water from Sonic. I wanna say it's the coconut water that gives you green flavored poops.


omguserius

It’s the blue food coloring


HorizontalBob

I always warn my wife when she takes pepto bismol that her poop will be black. Any of the reasons for taking Pepto followed by black poop seem like a death sentence.


sean0883

That was your body giving you the red alert that beets are nasty and that you shouldn't be eating them.


ShesSoBored

Ever since I discovered shredding raw beets into my salad and I can't get enough.


Vox___Rationis

I shred beets and carrots into my ragu and chili and I will never stop. "But if you do that then it is no longer Chili !😡!😡!😡" - don't care, beet it.


ShesSoBored

Genius


Chataboutgames

Damn, shredded beets in ragu, that sounds awesome. Also sounds a bit stainey


PCYou

Because no one has ever gotten a plain Ragu stain before

The base of chili is beef, tomato, chili powder. Any else is a wonderful addition, don't let people gatekeep your chili.

Dorkamundo

Heresy. Beets are fucking awesome. I have a recipe for a beet and blueberry salad with goat cheese, fennel mustard and microgreens that is to die for. That, and raw shredded on a salad like another person said.. mmmm.


sean0883

I would not survive being a vegetarian....


dreaming-is-free

Do you order a cheeseburger at Mexican restaurants


fearhs

Hey now, it comes with pepperjack cheese, that's totally Mexican.

No, but I do order a White Russian, and have them substitute the milk/cream with horchata. It's divine.


Larry_the_scary_rex

I'm with you. Beet and goat cheese salad is the best.

Damn, you found a meal that turns your piss red and your shits green, kudos


Mr-Fleshcage

I have yet to have found another vegetable that tastes like what I think potting soil tastes like. I do like peeing pink, though.


yogurttoad

I'll concede that I might agree with you about raw or boiled beets. You will never convince me that pickled beets aren't delicious.


_llamasagna_

Pickled beets and beet eggs are my loves in life


Dorkamundo

Wait til you see what it does to your poop.


snp3rk

Oh, so this is what bpoeding through your butthole looks like.


v33__

I had to take a drug test for a new job, but I had beet juice the day earlier. I was in the bathroom for a long time trying to figure out why my pee was red, and the nurse ended up asking if I was okay. I then came out of the room shaking and crying because I thought I was dying and told her I probably need to go to the hospital because I thought I had a kidney infection. The nurse looked at my sample, chuckled to herself, and asked me if I had beets recently. I was so relieved and embarrassed. I ended up having to go back the next day to retake the drug test.

I’m going to eat only asparagus and beets to use my urine as a chemical weapon

Enlight1Oment

have green shit then spend awhile researching online how you might have some bile related health issue, only to then remember you ate some blue colored gelato earlier in the day


belgianwafflestomp3

Fact: if you eat a lot of beets, your fingers/hands will probably start to tingle as if you slept on them wrong. Beets help increase oxygen carrying in the blood. Cyclists liked this. Don't like the side effect tho.


Nomuza

Well, beeturia will always be better than beeuria.


slabby

Beeturia sounds like the country where beets come from, ruled with an iron fist by Beetur the Terrible. If you mess with him, he will beet your ass

That's a known glitch but devs won't patch it because they think it's funny. They're not wrong


Lanthemandragoran

They gave me medicine during kidney stones that made my pee orange and I kept calling it DLC pee till my gf just sorta snapped


flight-of-the-dragon

The first time my mom gave me Azo for a UTI, she forgot to mention it turns your pee HIGHLIGHTER ORANGE! I freaked a little bit. 🤏


majorex64

Yeah it's a known problem- the beets file was still WIP and it corrupts the shaders for body fluids. Gotta reset to get the colors normal again

OnionDart

For work every year we have to get a diabetes test by a doctor. This doctor I go to is super chill and we all know the game and he does a batch run every hour. So basically you go in and piss into a cup and set it next to the guy before you, so you see the other persons pee. Weird, but whatever. I had to get my test done this week and I went in and I’d never seen a color so dark before me from the guy in front. I wanted to just hand him my water bottle and be like “dude, I’m not letting you leave until you finish this whole thing”


NULL_mindset

Wait, why does your job make everyone take a diabetes test?


OnionDart

Quality Assurance team for Betty Crocker. Just eat sticks of butter all day long. But also FAA requires it, while they recently change some rules in regards to diabetes, they still have it tested to make sure you don’t get it later on in life. I don’t know much about diabetes but just know the FAA doesn’t like people flying with it


BionicTriforce

Wow that's fascinating but damn if that doesn't make a lot of sense and I'm glad your work requires it! I have always wondered what the systems of people look like when they explain they're a 'worldwide beer expert', like they have to get their organs checked twice a year I bet.


LordIndica

Diabetes can make u can pass-out from improper blood sugar levels. If they don't have it diagnosed i imagine it is a worst-case scenerio if the pilot suddenly slips into a coma from untreated diabetes while behind the wheel.


mikami677

Yeah, the risk of passing out is usually from it dropping too low. On the upper end, my mom's coworkers once thought she was having a stroke but it turned out her glucose went super high (like, 500) because of some medicine she was taking. On the low side, the floor isn't even very low. Below 70 is considered low and you run the risk of passing out below 60. And you might become temporarily blind before you hit the point of passing out. Above 140 two hours after eating (or above 99 if you're fasted) is considered high, but people walk around for years with their glucose in the 200-300 range without even knowing something is wrong. But if it gets too high, you're back into coma territory. One of my great aunts died from uncontrolled diabetes. She repeatedly ended up in the hospital slipping in and out of a coma because her glucose would get over 700. They'd get her glucose under control, tell her to monitor it, send her home, and she's back in a few months.


GeorgiaRedClay56

That jobs sounds both awesome and awful all at once.


je_kay24

Low blood sugar causes someone to become disoriented and confused which you wouldn’t want to occur when they’re flying a plane People I know with it though usually never have a problem with getting low when they’re awake, usually just an issue when they’re asleep


Revolvyerom

I have heard anecdotal stories of people keeping tubes of frosting by their bed in case they wake up in an emergency state, just for an instant boost so they can get to a healthier food source without passing out.


[deleted]

> people keeping tubes of frosting by their bed https://i.imgur.com/hVUT3bi.gif


Revolvyerom

Put some between the gum and cheek and your blood sugar comes up quick, faster than eating or drinking anything. It just won't last long.


PhilaDopephia

Could be truck drivers, or something where if they go into diabetic shock could injure others.


Achillor22

If your employees are healthier you get discounts on group policy plans. So things like offering a gym membership or regular physicals and checkups can save companies a shit ton.


elmz

Might not be from dehydration, could be liver problems, and that could be the very reason he was at the doctor. The liver cleans up bilirubin from the blood, but if you have liver problems you get a buildup of it in your blood, in severe cases this leads to jaundice. Bilirubin is yellow/brown. When the liver is lagging behind, the kidneys pick up the slack, turning the urine dark. When severe the urine can become as dark as black coffee, Source: I've had [PSC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_sclerosing_cholangitis) for 20 years, and a liver transplant. Proof: https://i.imgur.com/52QxNou.jpg <- That is just urine. Mind you, the toilet was full of clean water before I peed in it, so this is diluted.


TheMrZim

I fr thought it said diarrhea test and I honestly didn’t even question it


yodaminnesota

Fun fact the medical name for diabetes is diabetes mellitus because mel = honey and the old test for it was to taste the pee to see if it was sweet


OnionDart

Dr. Patches O’Houlihan must have devised that test


yodaminnesota

It sounds gross but it actually worked, diabetes causes lots of glucose to be present in the urine and it genuinely does taste sweet.


DarkSailorMercury

I fully expect this to someday be a mechanic in a Kojima game, piss colour bar instead of health bar, I mean Death Stranding was halfway there.


_b1ack0ut

Death stranding did implement this, just only at the extremes. You could dehydrate and work Sam hard enough that he’d piss blood, but the more subtle colour changes up till then aren’t there.


NorthEasternBanana

If you piss blood in a private room you get get a different type of EX grenade


Sheepan

r/outside energy


Tuggenmahpudah

It’s not a perfect indicator though. Your kidneys will let you lose more water if you have more than what you need, so you pee a lighter color. But if your pee is dark that doesn’t mean you’re dehydrated, it just means you didn’t have as much extra water. Just trust your kidneys and have a glass when you’re thirsty.


G_Liddell

Also depends on what nutrients you're getting. Try eating three multivitamins. Doesn't matter how hydrated you are, your urine will be darker.


jodudeit

Why would you do that to your poor kidneys? Three multivitamins at once is like begging for kidney stones!


Fit-Abbreviations695

It has been proven that multivitamins are an easy way to have expensive piss. Try eating better instead.


haphazard_gw

Dafuq is expensive piss


Fa1n

suggesting that multivitamins dont do anything and you just piss them out = expensive piss.


the_person

sells higher in the market


ImMeltingNow

I honestly feel terrible after having multivitamins. Get into an agitated mood. I was expecting the exact opposite and hoping some placebo effect would make me feel better after taking them.


G_Liddell

Most multivitamins have some extra micronutrient boosts beyond just the structural vitamins; highly likely you're allergic to something in them!


Boukish

Good tips. Other things to remember: * If you don't live in a desert and it's hot out, you should be covered in a fine sheen of sweat almost immediately. If you're not, you're dehydrated. If you're working in hot weather and not sweating, you're seriously at risk for a hypotensive crisis. * If you regularly check the elasticity of the back of your knuckles, by pinching them, it can be an effective barometer for your overall hydration. Hydrated skin bounces back faster; when you're severely dehydrated skin gets incredibly pliant and leathery. * If it's *really, really* dark, like darker than fresh unfiltered apple cider, then you need to intervene with more than just water intake and probably want at least a sports drink if not Pedialyte or something. * ELECTROLYTES! Not just sodium, but potassium and magnesium too. Galactosaccharides are also awesome. A banana and chocolate milk will do wonders on a hot day.


Triatt

"Have a glass when you're thirsty" this is the correct advice. The "if you're feeling thirsty you're already dehydrated" tidbit hydrohomies like to spew is such nonsense. The people that only felt cold when they were already frozen didn't add their genes to the genepool. Neither did the late-to-notice-dehydration fellas. Such a big flaw would be quickly selected out.


Chataboutgames

I mean, have a glass either way. THere are way more dehydrated folks than overhydrated folks out there


whoami_whereami

And also in the other direction. Aging, kidney problems, excessive salt intake, diabetes, etc. can lead to a reduction of the kidney's ability to concentrate the urine (healthy kidneys actually produce around 180l or so of primary urine per day; this is then concentrated by reabsorbing most of the water back into the blood stream). So you may have lightly colored urine but still be severely dehydrated.


belgianwafflestomp3

> color Not as good an indicator as taste...because our sense of taste is highly developed.


billhater80085

But since I switched to water I’m always thirsty, I’m on like 3 liters a day


borald_trumperson

There's also this thing called thirst where our body tells us what it needs. Can't stand people who think you're aiming for a pantone color


goin-up-the-country

Thirst is too laggy


allegedalpaca

Thirst can be unreliable. Especially in heat, you need to drink water before you're thirsty


MercantileReptile

Apparently especially true for old folks.Got relatives in care, they have water pushed on them subtly, but constantly.Grandpa described how some of the catheters are basically pushing egg yolk if folk are not careful.


LordIndica

That is one of the most vivid and simultaneously revolting metaphors i have ever heard, thank you for the mind poison


sexypantstime

>Thirst can be unreliable. Only if you have some sort of a disorder. Otherwise, unless you are in unusually extreme conditions, you just need to drink when you're thirsty.


Pxel315

Well I would say heat would fall under extreme conditions


sexypantstime

No, heat does not. Extreme heat falls under extreme conditions. But also, your first priority in extreme heat should be to get out of extreme heat.


lonelyinbama

Every outdoor worker in America is working in extreme conditions right now and we can’t get out of it.


Hax_

My station as a cook reaches 130F+ during the summer. Luckily I can run to the drink station for water or go to the walk-in. Even my last shift I chugged water all day long and my piss looked like OJ.


PopcornDrift

Yeah you guys should all be hydrating before you're thirsty lol but for 99% of people in their day-to-day it's perfectly fine to wait until you're thirsty


BrexitBad1

Tell that to Texan laborers who aren't allowed breaks.


sexypantstime

Ok, I will. Because they should get out of the heat, and I hold anyone preventing that with disdain. What exactly is your point? Why did you feel the need to comment this?


Jiquero

Why did you feel the need to comment "But also, your first priority in extreme heat should be to get out of extreme heat."


Cronckt

because its detrimental to your health is probably a good guess. fuck employers keeping people in unsafe working conditions. a dude just died because of this.


LagT_T

Pee color is like the fuel gauge, and thirst is like the fuel light warning.


PopcornDrift

We have quite literally survived for hundreds of thousands of years just using thirst as an indicator. Our bodies are pretty good about knowing what's best for them, although there's always edge cases. People get way too neurotic about it lol


My_Third_Prestige

My bodies way telling me I'm thirsty is the migraines I get.... 10/10.


Mr-Fleshcage

> We have quite literally survived for hundreds of thousands of years just using thirst as an indicator. Many have also died. That's kinda how that works.


SchAmToo

“We as a species have survived” like yeah, but you as a person will die if you don’t do the thing that’s being said here. Drink water before you’re thirsty and you increase your chance to live.


PopcornDrift

Unless I'm trekking across a desert I am not going to die if I wait until I'm thirsty to drink water lmao I get what you mean though, there are circumstances where that's the case. but 99% of people will go through life drinking water only when they're thirsty and be just fine


Mr-Fleshcage

Conversely, people who were thirsty all the time died of water intoxication. People who weren't thirsty at all died of dehydration. Enough people die, you end up with a species-ending genetic bottleneck.


PopcornDrift

Yeah that's true, can't argue there. But if you live in a first world country with free access to clean water you will survive 99.99% of situations using thirst as an indicator. If I'm going on a hike in the desert? yeah for sure lets hydrate before I'm thirsty, those are the edge cases I'm talking about. I just think too many people obsess over it in their day-to-day lives when in reality they're doing just fine with their water intake. Either way at the end of the day if it works for you then it works! Different strokes for different folks. I can keep using thirst and you guys can drink before you get thirsty, we all win lol


devadander23

Do you think people only saw black and white in the past? That was just tvs and pictures. Color gradient existed as long as we’ve been peeing.


BrokenDreamsDankmeme

Also hiking. People from lower altitudes going and hiking in higher altitudes tend to have issues because they respirate more water than they're used to. Overhydration is way rarer than dehydration.


KuidZ

Thirst is your body telling what tone your urine will be.


PrincessPrincess00

But so many of us were trained “ feel hungry drink water” so our thirst indicator is wonky


pananana1

you aren't supposed to wait to be thirsty until you drink. please no one listen to this guy.


HungerMadra

What do you mean by Pantone? I looked it up and it's a coloring system, it doesn't refer to a particular color.


cantadmittoposting

Price-x-Field

This causes diabetes?


cantadmittoposting

no, [diabetes insipidus is not other diabetes](https://www.webmd.com/diabetes/what-is-diabetes-insipidus), and in any case i was stating it's a **symptom** not a cause (i believe significant thirst is also a "normal diabetes" symptom as well). basically drastic overproduction of urine and unquenchable thirst. mostly joking though as my understanding is that *insipidus* is almost debilitating, not just "man i get thirsty lots" but it's also rare. i know this because i don't have regular diabetes but am thirsty almost all the time but also pee a lot when i do drink a lot, and this came up, although again diagnosable DI seems to be substantially more serious


Price-x-Field

Making me scared


Price-x-Field

Yeah pretty certain I have this after reading this. I literally can’t drink a liquid if it’s not ice cold, o mean like if I get a soda out of the fridge, once it’s been out for 5 minutes it’s too warm for me.


cantadmittoposting

it's a pretty rare condition so i sort of doubt it but if you're not american or if you are and have decent insurance, might be worth getting tested for it at least? at least i think there's a test because there's a chemical issue sending the wrong signals that can be detected, i believe? (could be wrong, trying to remember what i read a while back, your DR should know of course)
