No one thinks it's important to keep track of every ***** story that hits the front page just to make sure that there aren't duplicate stories from day to day. There are thousands of people today who did not see this story yesterday.. how the ***** are they supposed to know that it was a duplicate? Do you really expect people to double check every story that made the front page recently before they digg something?
You can't expect to tell thousands of people today to refrain from showing interest in a story just because some other people already read it yesterday...
Really, it's not that difficult of a conclusion to reach. People really need to stop complaining about duplicate front page items. - inactive, on 09/16/2009, -0/+3The constellation "ur-ion"
- shinkou, on 09/16/2009, -0/+3Dugg for "piss has never been so pretty".
- Tubal22, on 09/16/2009, -0/+2waste water != piss
- czernel, on 09/16/2009, -0/+2Impressive, because pee does not normally sublimate
- one1plus1one, on 09/16/2009, -0/+2Not only do they eject urine in earth orbit above our heads during space missions, but they also "recycle" and drink it as well.
They process the raw sewage and urine using primarily a reverse-osmosis process, in which the final product is nearly 100 percent crystal-clean, utterly safe, drinkable water.
Its more pure and safer than regular tap water.
In fact the state of California processes raw-sewage through this reverse osmosis process now. And again, the final product is crystal clear pure and safe water.
But due to the squeamish factor (the idea of drinking a glass of water derived from raw-sewage is not a pleasant thought for many people) the state of California simply pumps it into the ground, where some of it filters back through the earth, and down into the water-table.
And eventually it gets pumped back out of wells, and then drank by people, or used for watering crops.
Again this may freak some people out. But scientifically speaking, it is a complete waste of amazingly pure water to simply dispose of it, by dumping it back into the ground.
In a few years, or a couple of decades, the state will probably end up putting it directly back into the drinking supply.
(It really is pure and clean water -- probably one of the cleanest forms of water on the planet. People just need to get over the psychological factor that it was originally derived from sewage.
It's probably not going to make a good bottle marketing campaign however. "California Sewage Springs Water" may not fly well with consumers. - absolutelytrue, on 09/16/2009, -0/+2<gag> golden showers.
- dmagz37, on 09/15/2009, -1/+2I always wondered what astronauts did with their "stuff" in space. That's really really gross to know.
- Charles2007, on 09/16/2009, -0/+1you had a free bath I guess.
- justok, on 09/16/2009, -1/+2perhaps the other side of the moon.
- wassim2k, on 09/16/2009, -0/+1Hey look, I wrote my name in the snow with pee!
Big deal, look up at the sky. - iPissExcellence, on 09/16/2009, -0/+1That's how my piss looks - on earth.
- SuperCujo, on 09/16/2009, -0/+1I dugg it as a ***** you to you @swagv :)
- silverchrysalis, on 09/16/2009, -0/+1this submission is so much more entertaining
- nekoashide, on 09/16/2009, -1/+1Digging for awsome title
- GeorgeWKush, on 09/16/2009, -2/+2Buried, ***** YEAH!
- DillonHinson, on 09/16/2009, -2/+2You know, nowhere in the article does it say it was actually PEE. They just said it was water.
- TomTruelle, on 09/16/2009, -2/+2I don't know, it added a certain ***** YEAH ring to it...
- samk, on 09/16/2009, -3/+0I was wondering why it was raining in only my yard for only five seconds, and it was so smelly...
- Denex, on 09/16/2009, -5/+0i pissed in my neighbor's bush; he got mad at me.
***** astronauts and their special piss treatment. (no pun intended) - TomTruelle, on 09/16/2009, -6/+1Wow, so it stays up in space for awhile? Imagine these astronauts a few years from now looking up at the sky with their grand kids saying "Check it out kids, you see that shimmering white stream? That's grampas 30 year old intergalactic space pee!"
