I have wondered many times how a human would fare if the kidneys dumped urine into the start of the large intestines somewhere about the appendix instead of into a bladder to be sprayed out. I’m assuming water would be reabsorbed and slower to process out, primarily through sweat and evaporation from the lungs, and maybe diarrhea, though it may be that other waste products, such as salts or ureas may be absorbed into the large intestines instead of being ejected, though I have no idea if it would, or if it would be ejected as intended. Do we have any biologists here that could give insight on if combining both waste paths into one would be advisable?

    Ok but why cant I have a secondary urethra grafted in that runs in my leg down to a nice discreet exit on my ankle so I can take a sneaky wee when Im out and about.

      You could just tape a garden hose to your dick and run it down a pant leg. Man, I should patent this idea…

      Then you’d be right back where you started for my purposes, still losing moisture unnecessarily.

        I dont care about your purposes, I work in the sun day in, day out. I drink several litres of water and have to go into a hotbox of a portaloo to take a piss. Its like a shit and blue liquid scented sauna and I hate it.

            Are you going to tell me how to graft a second urethra down my leg or should I just Google it?

          Man have i got the solution for you. We call it dehydration.

          So the trick is don’t drink water get hot as fuck maybe pee once or twice all day.

          And as a bonus knock off beers get you hammered
