I had a friend that during the cold winter mornings would wake up and piss on his windshield to clear/melt the frost. He of course kept the vents closed so he couldn’t smell it on the drive. It really was disgusting, but made me wonder if he might’ve had a clever time saving idea.

It’s a clever time saving idea in the same way that burning your house down is a heating bill reduction life hack.

The vents aren’t a perfect seal. Piss is getting into the vents no matter what. That’s just filthy on many levels

How did he do it? Like, I could hit the windscreen from the ground but I doubt I could clear it… Would probably have to stand on the bonnet to get it clear with a morning wizz. I don’t wanna stand on my bonnet. Maybe if I pissed out the window… 🤔

You guys should maybe Google “homemade de-icer” before you start pissing on windows.

Standing on the bumper might be enough, especially if it’s the first piss of the day.

How hot was his pee? Pretty sure it’d just freeze before it melted even a minor amount of ice

I mean, it’s 98.6F on average. If it’s freezing that quickly then you’re looking at some extreme temperatures.

our local bus goes to grocery stores and that the most of it. if i lived near a retirement home, and worked at a grocery store or strip mall, i’d be set.

right, so maybe the ability to not drive should be a part of how you decide where to live? i certainly wouldn’t want to live somewhere where the only choice is driving

I guess that depends on what you mean by “smart car”. It’s a 2021 Ford and the app let’s me do scheduled starts. Turns on the steering wheel and seat warmers too.

I remember that being a feature in my 2002 BMW. Unfortunately, a Double DIN stereo was more important than the native controls. So I lost the ability to schedule the auto start time.

Edit: “Auxiliary heating” is apparently what it was called.
