Time to start shipping pee to the GOP lawyer. Unless they're into that.

... They probably are.

[–] Blibly@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ignore that virtue signaling piss fetishist lol Your idea is fantastic and people should do it. Send bodily waste to republicans until they stop picking on minorities or leave office.

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Probably a biohazard. Not worth getting "biohazard"-arrested if you're not sending those fuckers actual biohazards.

These people are especially interested in children's genitals. I wonder why?

[–] KulunkelBoom@lemmus.org 26 points 1 week ago

Republicans like sticking their dicks in children. I guess this is practice.

What if I stood in Oregon and pee'd into Idaho?

[–] ccunning@lemmy.world 45 points 1 week ago

Seems like a lot of effort for only a modest improvement to Idaho…

[–] kibblebits@quokk.au 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That’s the best way to be in Idaho!

[–] Nioxic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago

That’s the best way to pee in Idaho!

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Well it does mean you have to be in eastern Oregon, which is a downside, but otherwise pissing on Idaho is a cherished Oregon pastime.

The intense interest some politician have for everyone else's crotch is fascinating, if not a bit weird.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

I'm pan and I think about people's genitals less than they do.

[–] nullspace@lemmy.world 39 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Penis Inspection Day is serious business in Idaho.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Seriously though. This wasn't a thing everywhere?

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.zip 37 points 1 week ago (8 children)

Once again my home state making all the worst headlines 🫠

They recently banned birth cert gender marker changes and I still can't figure out if that means my current cert is invalid. Now I can't even pee in my home town without going to prison. I love my hometown it's like Hobbiton, it's pretty, people are mostly very kind, it's a place to go to live a calm life. But it is in Idaho, and is entering into the last stages of a christofascist takeover decades in the making.

I'll probably never get to see where I grew up again, sit at the giant fountain, dig in the clay heavy dirt that's blacker than the roads, or see the breathtaking pink and gold sunsets over the endless hills. I hope the people who took this from me live full of misery followed by an early grave.

Why do these morons care so much about what is between somebody's legs?!

Fucking pervs!

[–] Solumbran@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Yeah they really don't understand anything related to biology.

Good thing that DNA, genitals and gender are always 100% correlated right.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Repubs just wanna make sure the children they are about to rape are genetically boys, I think, since girls just don't get the blood pumpin for them.

[–] MajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

These folks wouldnt mind a hard filter that eliminates all cases where those aren't correlated.

Do you want folks pissing on your business? This is how you get folks pissing on your business.

I recall a bar in Wimbledon, UK, that is well known for refusing bathroom access and also having human excrement on their wall/alley.

Not a great look for Wimbledon, a posh town with a globally respected tennis tournament.

[–] TheMuffinMan@piefed.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Lol what? Which bar is this out of curiosity? I’m local to the area, so would be good to know to avoid.

So which ones are the XXY bathrooms?

[–] Nouvellalia@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

If we take the UK, who is leading by example, those bathrooms are "In your fucking house. Get out of here ******."

Which I think is the answer in Idaho too. They just don't have the balls to say it out loud. In typical American fascist fashion, they will go hide at home and make a judge explain that the law technically says that.

This issue is right up there with healthcare as far as the level of stupidity (just not the level of death) because we collectively in the US won't take a note from other countries that do it better. Plus, you know, respecting human dignity.

Restrooms don't need to be gendered in the first place if they give you some damn privacy.

But as an american I know all too well that private bathrooms means potential small costs for landlords, and the ability for employees to hide and/or drug addicts to shoot up, so half the country would fight the change until their dying breath.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Restrooms don't need to be gendered in the first place if they give you some damn privacy.

It’s not like I’m checking what that guy in the next stall is doin’. Hell I think I’m in heaven when I go to a place that has doors that go to the floor.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The gold standard in my experience is Sweden. They probably do the same thing in other countries, but that's the place I have visited.

Instead of having a single big open men's room with 2-3 toilets and a couple sinks, next to a single big open ladies' room with a similar layout, there is a short hallway with four doors on each side. Behind each door is a small restroom with its own toilet and sink. I think they each had a urinal too.

It is superior in every single way except maybe for initial construction cost. It has a higher number of toilets which are all gender neutral, on top of actual privacy and there not being a "bad time" to go if it's busy.

It makes total sense if you give a shit about people and aren't trying to penny pinch construction costs while making the facilities user-hostile so that peons don't spend too much time in there.

Kill the rich, save the poor. Taxation, is not enough for the current era. There must be justice for the crimes committed. Once they are dead, then we can figure out how to run the world without capitalism. Untill then, the elimination of the ultra-rich by any means should be the goal. Everything else is noise.

[–] raynethackery@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Quick, search his computer.

[–] nodiratime@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Small government, everyone.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Exactly.

A small government.

Small enough to fit in the pants of every trans person and child in America.

Idaho will have designated shitting streets.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just give your pee to me. I'll carry it across state lines for you.

Just put your phone on the ground and pee here: 🫲‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ㅤㅤㅤㅤ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ㅤㅤㅤ 🫱

Didn't know lemmy had PoIP support

[–] spacegoat@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Idaho is famous for potatoes because potatoes have higher IQ than their average citizen

[–] GarboDog@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Uhm… you cannot tell someone’s gender from their piss far as we’re aware =﹏=;;;

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Guarantee it won't be sufficient if they think you look trans. Especially not if you're a trans person with a sex chromosomal abnormality

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 6 points 1 week ago

Idaho is where we shipped all the MAGAts in California to. You don’t want to live in that cesspool.

[–] godsammitdam@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

In response, can we declare that the homes of these idiots are public bathrooms now? Since we wouldn't be able to go inside like our modern society dictates. Time to regress I guess.

[–] KulunkelBoom@lemmus.org 6 points 1 week ago

Or just show 'em your genitals. Dick... pussy... let them decide. Bonus points if you're showing them your dick and you pee on them because they wouldn't let you in the motherfucking bathroom.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

Pee on the door.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

You want people to pee outside the bathroom door, because this is how you get people to pee outside the bathroom door.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What about pooping in Idaho?

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Starchy potatoes probably cause some stanky shit

[–] Iusedtobeanalien@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I knew it would come to this

A pissing contest where men determine who and who isn't a woman

Where do genuinely intersex people take a piss

Oh Idaho, that state I live within a 30 minute drive of but find myself in maybe once a year for all of 30 minutes.
