this feels very over the top, i don’t think it’s a good idea to force yourself to drink a bunch of water just because your pee is dark…
Just use the colour as a general indicator, if you routinely have dark urine that means you should keep easier access to water during the day, and if it’s ever amber just go chug a glass right away (not an entire bottle, what the fuck).

How the hell do people think this should work? It’s really easy to notice if you are thirsty and then drink water. Not thirsty, no drinky. I don’t need a diagram for this

some people, for example people who have adhd can have a hard time keeping track, you can just kinda stop noticing your bodily needs for water, food or even needing to use the bathroom

You’ve reached the opposite side of the color wheel. Congratulations on perfect health! Source: also a PhD (Perfect health doctor).

I can honestly say I never have (and still never will) put any more thought into this other than “yellow or clear.” The day I pull this chart out and hold it against my toilet bowl, please send me to the home.

If it’s clear, tour drinking too much water, be careful with that too.

People can die from over-hydration and dehydration
- Swedneck ( @Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de ) 8•1 year ago
it’s actively difficult to die from overhydration though, you’re most likely to vomit before you even come close to it.

What if it glows a pale blue in the dark?

You need iodine pills
Then you are Henning Brand, who boiled down 1200 gallons of urine until it started to glow: https://sciencehistory.org/stories/magazine/hennig-brandt-and-the-discovery-of-phosphorus/

That’d be so cool, I’d want to buy a bottle of your piss

If you are at a 7 or 8 on the regular you’ve got bigger problems than dehydration. That’s liver or kidney failure territory.

Consider replacing one of your kidneys.

There’s a sign at work like this, but 4 and 5 are the wrong way round and it drives me nuts.

I prefer the one that illustrates it using types of beer and advises seeking medical attention if it’s the color of a stout 😁
Red ales weren’t included in the chart, probably because they assumed people knew…

You need to drink piss now, obviously
