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
This is my go-to too! It was especially great when I did it at the bar I used to work at lol.
It’s not listed but the Cicada wins. By a lot.

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
Both true but it is a weird fact
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?
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.
