Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

4 liters per day is absolutely insane unless you're doing physical labour in the sun all day, but you do you.
4 liters of water per day is completely fine if you are not absolutely sedentary in a cool climate.
(The following is for a healthy male, who requires the most generally)
Average adult in a temperate climate needs 3.7L according to mayo clinic
harvard says a minimum of 3.1L per day
Most people are pretty dehydrated in general. Your piss isn't supposed to be bright yellow.
BBC summarized some journal papers that said that most adults are 1-2% dehydrated. Human thirst mechanisms also degrade as we age, not to mention "nurture" factors like people not drinking enough water when they are young, so their thirst mechanisms are already skewed towards too little water. Also hunger and thirst mechanisms are tied together so dehydrated people may overeat more as their body tries to get more water through food (also contributing to the huge rise in obesity)
There are a variety of unpleasant problems that come from drinking too little water, drinking too much water (within reason, not 12L per day) has the side effects of good kidneys and pissing more often...
Of course, a 140cm person won't need 4 liters, but a 2m tall person who goes to the gym may need 5+.
It is on the upper limit but OP could just be huge. Like GoT-Mountain-huge, if you've seen the series. Then 4 liters is maybe ok.
I’m 5’11, 170lbs and drink about 5 liters a day, only drinking when I’m thirsty. It’s not a problem.
During summer, but working inside, I will easily drink 4 litres. Any temp above 22°C and I start to sweat, a lot. When we had a heat wave one year, around 38°C inside, the water was just running off my hands and soaking the laptop keyboard. Puddles on either side of track pad, and forming on the desk.
Maybe OP just likes pissing.
