Do you conserve fresh water by not flushing after urination?

Hell no! The toilet is only meant to crap in, pissing is for the shower/tub.

I prefer the sink.

That's universally true with any matter. 😉

so, technically speaking, we're drinking someone/something elses urine, purified of course.

I kinda meet halfway. When I'm with my gf; me, her and her little sister all seem to end up wanting to hit the bathroom at the same time. I ask them not to flush because, being on a well and tank system, that's just more water in the drain field, and more wear on the pump. If we're all just peeing there's no need to sit there and run the electric meter 3 times just to pee. Now if they're taking a crap I can see the point. But when it's me or her that has to wiper her little butt anyways, that's kind of a moot point 😛.

Interesting living arrangements you got there.

it would not be a stretch to imagine that they wind up peeing on one another at some point in time. maybe one has a camera for some reason.

No. WTF? 😕

Except we're not sure about black holes. Some particles escape the event horizon. Some think that particles might exit other black holes connected via baby universes. But there will still be matter that enters a black hole and doesn't leave. Maybe it goes to another universe. Maybe it's stuck in the black hole. Maybe it is broken down into the component parts - gravitrons, quarks, etc.

For urine, flush and pull it back in 3 secs.

 

[KoolDrew]

Definitely not.

What's so crazy about the living arrangements? My gf's little sister is over 12 years younger than her. 😕

As for your reply PottedMeat, no it wouldn't be a stretch. 😉

I only don't flush when I'm staying up way later than I said I would and I'm trying not to wake up my sigificant other who finally fell asleep.

It leaves a ring that's extremely difficult to clean around the bowl.

If you want to conserve water, go outside and pee in the grass. A urinal is another option.

 

[Alienwho]

Pre-flush, during-flush, followed by a nice post-flush to really make sure the gaskets get exercised.

 

[InflatableBuddha]

I follow the "yellow/mellow; brown/flush it down" rule. Although my piss is usually quite clear so it takes almost 2 weeks before I get stains in the bowl. Cleaning the toilet once every 2 weeks is really not a big deal.

I'm really surprised that I'm one of the few who does this.

Seeing as my city charges a ridiculous per gallon fee on water & sewer, yes, I do try to conserve water.

We had a drought last year and they raised the fees. This year the river is higher than average and the fees are still in place. I doubt the fees will ever go back down. Gotta love the government!

But if the black hole evaporates the matter will still be released back into space.

Water cycle

And don't think saving paper saves the environment. Trees grow back. In fact, trees are grown on tree farms.
