So presumably he hadn't, because all life in the sea pees there.

Or Poseidon just doesn't like pools, and it's a trick question.

He finds pools an unnatural mockery of nature.

Restricting water in such a way is cruel. It's like a prison for water.

The pool water yearns for freedom

[–] jopepa@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Pool water oughta stop sloshing around and get a job. Freedom isn’t free.

None of the fish are in heaven either. Those filthy fish.

Poseidon is the God of water, I think he understands how dilution works. Peeing in the ocean? Basically didn't do anything, essentially untraceable. Peeing in the pool? Nasty af, and easily(ish) detectable.

Unironically, why would anyone expect anything that happens after you die to be any less arbitrary and unpredictable than anything that happened while you were alive? Could be nothingness, but it could just as easily be Poseidon, or Flying Spaghetti Monster, or Kitty Cat Thanksgiving.

Oh shit Kitty Cat Thanksgiving 🙏🙏🙏🤞🤞🤞

That's why you should believe in the god Sithrak (warning: other comics by same creator are nsfw)

People love to attribute meaning and purpose to the randomness that occurs in life because the randomness can be scary, confusing, and frustrating. I don't blame them for that.

But perhaps if we all learned to properly cope with the difficulties in all our lives (rather than fool ourselves into thinking there is a mystical being controlling it all and judging us), we might be able to be nicer to each other.

Because they indoctrinate people based on faith/fear/wishful thinking, not rational thinking.

Hehe heheheh Pisseidon hehe heh heh hehehe

The neat part he can pee out the lava.

[–] vonxylofon@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

All that sweet, sweet obsidian.

He shoulda peed in the pool.

[–] Pistcow@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Is the ocean a pool? Or is it specifically a pool? Does it matter if it was an above ground or in ground pool? Do hot tubs count as pools?

[–] Pancito@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Does peeing into a pool count too?

What about shower and bathtubs?

[–] Perfide@reddthat.com 5 points 2 years ago

Do hot tubs count as pools?

Peeing in the hot tub is equal to peeing in 5 pools. Gonna make piss steam and get it everywhere.
