A rat, a cat, a dog, a person, a human, a horse and an elephant all piss with a full bladder,

Who finishes first?

Weirdly enough, according to science, it's the same time for every mammal to urinate (except really small ones like mice because liquid dynamics starts behaving differently, surface tension etc).

A person and a human? So if a legal person like a company pisses it still takes the same time, neat

Oh lol.

I woke up like 3min before writing that, hahahaha

Good catch

But I would contend that I know quite s few human who I wouldn't necessarily call people and quite a a few non-people I definitely consider worthy of personhood

Butterflies even more. They don’t piss, they mist.

Cicadas are a) mice-size or smaller and b) not mammals.

Thanks for the info tho

[-] Cypher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Both true but it is a weird fact

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Cicada piss-jets were interesting, yes, thank you

This is very dubious. I tried recreating this experiment with my dogs over months and found them to pee anywhere from 7 seconds to almost a full minute. Is there another detail I'm missing here?

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I mean, it's ofc talking about averages.

My pisses vary in length greatly as well, but if you take the average, it'll be the same average as your dogs, roughly.
