      I recently had a short illness that involved my body thoroughly purging anything I put inside of it without much change to the content. (I’m mostly better now.)

      At one point my wife made me a 32oz smoothie in the hopes that it would provide me with some nutrients. It was visually very dark. I consumed and enjoyed it, then fell asleep and forgot about it.

      A few hours later, I ran to the bathroom with great urgency and was very alarmed until I remembered the smoothie.

      I remember crying on the toilet for at least 30 minutes when I was a kid. My pee was red-ish, my poop was red. I thought I was bleeding from everywhere.

      My father finally got out from me why I was crying for so long, and explained that, yes, it is indeed related to the 2 jars of pickled beets I ate.

        i pooped red and panicked until like a week later that I was just a fatass who ate an entire family sized bag of hot Cheetos in one sitting

      same thing but it was black because of the licorice-flavored icecream at a tourist shop. someday i want to go back and try the other flavors: i suspect they’re all like that and this is part of the novelty.

      Purple dragon fruit, too. It’s like your pouring the cordial directly into the bowl.

    Lower right quadrant is “stop eating so much asparagus”!

    Lower left could also be “stop drinking so much carrot juice”! But that might just be a skin color thing.

    Vitamin B12 turns your pee vivid neon yellow if your body doesn’t absorb it. I pour nooch (Nutritional yeast, savory substitute for dry crumbly cheeses) on like every other thing I eat, and it’s pretty much the most B12-dense food there is, so my pee is often like comic book bright yellow.

      That plus a microdose of beet juice is a common way to fake the color aspect of diluting your urine drug test.

      nooch

      Is that an actual slang term for nutritional yeast? I’m struggling to think of a less appetizing word.

      Then again, I can see myself letting out a dumb little laugh while saying “I’m nooching my corn”, so maybe it’s actually brilliant.

    I was on a backpacking trip around the age of 17, multi-day thing. They had packets of some kind of electrolyte drink in some of the dehydrated meals. It was bright green colored. Everyone who ate that meal packet that night had pee in the range of ‘wat’ to ‘wwwat?’, followed by a poop with a distinct segment in the ‘wat’ range.

          It’s on the floor and the mops dissolving. Please advise. It’s acid plutonium. We took plutonium and made it an acid. Then I drank it. Then I peed in the corner near those steam pipes.

            Okay, you’re looking at heavy metal poisoning. That is, if your body was even capable of absorbing whatever molecule you made. Unless you were lazy and just dissolved the plutonium in an acid, like an aqua regia. But drinking aqua regia is a fast way to die, so that means you did some plutonium chemistry. Which is completely doable. It’s an element with chemical properties, just like any other.

            As for the radioactivity, that depends on the isotope. Pu-236 and Pu-238 would be instant death. Pu-239, would be uncomfortably warm in your gut, but might be survivable in minute amounts.

            Survivability would actually go up from there, except with Pu-241 which is instant death again. But Pu-244 would be the one I’d take if forced at gunpoint. A half life of 80 million years is not great, but it’s the best plutonium can do.

    If you pee on the PH test and it comes up blue, you need an antibiotic, if it comes up, orange, ruh-roh. If you are a cat I mean… Our cat has had a UTI and can’t seem to shake it. Stupid amoxicillin and whatever else hasn’t been able to fully get rid of it
