This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

More than 7 liters of water is really bad for your kidney
It already stops being healthy past 3 liters. Your urinary tract is constantly running on overdrive and you are flushing important nutrients out of your system drinking this much.
Plus, you probably can’t get a full night of sleep because you have to take a piss every 20 minutes
Men need about 3.7 liters per day. More if they exercise, maybe a liter or two extra.

Urine isn't the only way to get rid of water. But if you sweat it out, you will need to replace the missing sodium. Breathing causes water to leave too.
Not if you properly fit your stillsuit.
9 is LD50 for an average person
Timing is everything. Your kidneys can potentially make a liter of urine an hour. If you drink nine in two hours, you're going to have diarrhea, vomiting and potentially die. If you do the same over 24 hours and you're otherwise healthy, you'll just pee a lot.
