I hate to burst your ego bubble but urine is/was often used in pre-industrial societies as a cleaner due to the ammonia, and even in Europe after soap was invented people still preferred to use urine as a clothes cleaner instead

For someone who claims to be an intellectual you sure seem to think natural selection is "magic" though, eh? You look even more like a superstitious grunt than the one's you sneer at.

Bruh, when did I even claim to be an intellectual? And I don't know what your point is, but go ahead and clean your water bottles with cow urine.

Just don't get ahead and try to be so offensive, alright?

Urine was a vital piece of the global economy for at least 1500 years. They would collect it and let it dry out to make a concentrated ammonia.

I don’t know why these idiots don’t get that. Like yeah it sounds gross, and it won’t smell like fresh scent, but concentrated urine was used by Europeans as bleach for centuries.

“Natural selection”? Eugenics speak.
