    There is an actual reason for this: it’s because people buy other people’s urine for drug tests. That little bottle has to be warm when you hand it over. I’m guessing in this case, it’s a high-crime area and people have to report to their probation officers.

    Just shows what a farce the whole thing is.

      Why couldn’t they just use their own body heat?

      Also, I’m kind of impressed they figured out how to eat it just enough to get to body temperature in a random microwave.

        The body is only 85 + or so degrees on the surface of the skin. It’s not warm enough as internal temp will be 95+degrees and will be obvious it’s not warm enough when they check the temp.

          Pro tip—stick on hand warmers and a stick on fish tank thermometer. If it’s a little too hot, just take the hand warmer off of it and wait 30 seconds until it cools to a delicious 98.6.

          They’d have to check that pretty fast or it would cool off anyways but now I just feel bad for the people whose job it is to handle the piss thermometer.

            In my experience, it’s like a temperature-sensitive sticker on the side of the cup, that’ll indicate the maximum temperature of the contents. That way it also checks for people who accidentally over-heated their fake/borrowed piss.

                The awkward thing is I always tend to accidentally get piss on my hands and on the outside of the cup and then you have to hand it to the worker in shame after trying to clean it with the shitty 1 ply toilet paper and them telling you that you aren’t allowed to wash your hands

        I cant tell if you are privileged enough that you have a microwave in which to heat urine, or if you have urine clean enough to pass a drug test. Either way - I’m proud of you.

          Plus, this gas station is likely very close to a PO. Heating up piss to smugle in from 20 minutes away won’t likely work very well.

        In order to have a microwave, you need to have money. Poor people tend to lack that. Especially poor people who are also drug addicted who just want to keep out of prison or keep their job.

            It might as well cost $1000 if you are barely scraping by.

            All this tells me is you’ve never been inside the home of a poor person, let alone a poor person who is also suffering from addiction. If they have a home at all.

          Maybe they can spend money on microwave instead of drugs or urine.

              Oh poor babies! Let’s be real most of addicted people are adults that should be responsible for their own lives, I was addicted to alcohol and stopped, it was hard ofc. If they can’t maaaybe they shouldn’t try to game the system and own their mistakes?

                  I understand now, depression is exactly like drug addiction, no difference there, valid comparison, friend.

                Yeah, and the poors need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, transgender folks need to just make peace with what their mothers’ doctors said, underpaid employees should just go get a better paid job, and fat people should just stop putting food in their gobs until they’re thin. People sleeping on the street: they’re the silliest – they should just go inside!

                  You had zero opportunities to be robbed by a family member at knife point due to them needing a fix. Sorry not sorry, no compassion here, people like that should be forced either get off the drugs or go to jail.

      My head cannon is that there’s no such thing as a pee fetish, and the entire idea is propped up by the overwhelming sales of synthetic piss from sex shops in order to pass drug tests. Some porn studio marketing team noticed the sales and decided they should fill that niche, but all the viewers are just confused people watching out of shock value.

      Basically the war on drugs inadvertently created a massive market where people piss and shit on eachother and think they like it.

      A person was probably heating up some pee on the way to cheat a drug test. They have little thermometer strips on the side, like what you see on a fish tank, to help verify the sample wasn’t brought in or tampered with.

    i feel like if they actually wanted to stop this they should just get a separate microwave dedicated to urine heating. if people are doing it to pass a drug test, and the alternative is possibly failing a drug test, then i’m not really sure a sign is going to stop them. better to have a sacrificial microwave.

    And? That’s not abnormal, they’re usually at gas stations and intended for people who need to eat SOMETHING while they refuel on a long journey, usually late at night when there’s not a lot open.

    Why have you deleted all of your posts to Conservatives, Mickey?

    Is that part of you pretending you don’t care about right and left politics but still post Tucker as a legitimate source?
