This is in a small convenience store where you can buy food things and heat them up while in the store

There is an actual reason for this: it's because people buy other people's urine for drug tests. That little bottle has to be warm when you hand it over. I'm guessing in this case, it's a high-crime area and people have to report to their probation officers.

Just shows what a farce the whole thing is.

Also, cold piss isn't nearly as thirst quenching
- In your opinion.
Why couldn't they just use their own body heat?

Also, I'm kind of impressed they figured out how to eat it just enough to get to body temperature in a random microwave.
- The body is only 85 + or so degrees on the surface of the skin. It's not warm enough as internal temp will be 95+degrees and will be obvious it's not warm enough when they check the temp.
lol why dont they use their own? are they stupid????
- I cant tell if you are privileged enough that you have a microwave in which to heat urine, or if you have urine clean enough to pass a drug test. Either way - I'm proud of you.
- In order to have a microwave, you need to have money. Poor people tend to lack that. Especially poor people who are also drug addicted who just want to keep out of prison or keep their job.
- I think oftentimes they find use of their own urine demeaning and so prefer to outsource.

Whats with that big ass USA label?

cos its made in AMERICAAAA RAAAAAAAAHH
- Pretty sure when you turn it over you can see a small little label that says Made In China :D
- My Maytag washing machine has a silly little "America 🇺🇸" sticker on it. It's so corny. It may have been assembled in the United States, but it's likely from parts made by Midea in China.
  
  Auto manufacturers have been infamous for this in the past. It's probably why Monroney stickers tell you the percentage of parts by country of origin. Here it is on the sticker for my Honda Civic.
it stands for teh land of the free

heat urine if you feel like it
- Whoever told you that is your enewee
So people remember what country they live in.

'land of the free' my ass, can't even put piss in the microwave

Someone probably tried to heat "clean" urine to pass a drug test.

The war on drugs killed my convenience store burritos.
- Or even synthetic urine. If a drug test can't tell the difference, it's gonna be close enough to smell like you microwaved real piss.
- Does that even work?
I can almost guarantee someone was trying to pass a drug test. Fake piss became easy to buy, and even include things like under-belt harnesses and fake penises. So even if someone is in the room watching you take the test, it still looks legit. So modern drug tests will also check to see if the urine is at (or at least very near) body temperature.

And this presents a problem with fake piss kits, because the surface of your skin doesn’t typically stay at body temperature; It’s usually anywhere from 90-95° instead of 98. Which means that even if you wear the belt pack all day, your body heat won’t be enough to warm the fake piss up enough.

So some people will resort to microwaving it just before they walk in. Get it to like 103° at the gas station across the street, (warm, but not enough to burn you when you wear it) so that by the time you walk across the street to take your drug test, it has cooled down to body temperature.
- Get it to like 103° at the gas station across the street,
  
  This is gonna scare people who aren't used to Fahrenheit.
- 95° really boils my piss
- 90°? Sounds like one heck of a burn!

Ayo lmao

Literally 1984.

Don't tell me what to do

It pisses me off

i feel like if they actually wanted to stop this they should just get a separate microwave dedicated to urine heating. if people are doing it to pass a drug test, and the alternative is possibly failing a drug test, then i’m not really sure a sign is going to stop them. better to have a sacrificial microwave.

Ideally you need to put a code on the microwave for food and leave the other one free for piss heaters and people who don't care either way.

What in the goddamn fuck the peoples who microwaved URINE ? cmon it's waste from your body not food..smh...

Drug tests.

Buy store-bought urine or bring someone else's for the test. It's still gotta be body temp when you use it. So you nuke it for a few seconds before you tape it to your leg on your way in.
One thing to have a pee fetish, another thing to serve it hot

"Ugh, this piss is too cold!"

The USA flag really brings it all together

Someone got sick of cleaning the microwave. I would have put “feces”.

Won’t nobody microwave shit. Ahhhh. Ahahahaha. Hahaha!

You get me! I know you doodoo.

There’s a story here that I’m not sure I wanna know.

A person was probably heating up some pee on the way to cheat a drug test. They have little thermometer strips on the side, like what you see on a fish tank, to help verify the sample wasn't brought in or tampered with.
My head cannon is that there's no such thing as a pee fetish, and the entire idea is propped up by the overwhelming sales of synthetic piss from sex shops in order to pass drug tests. Some porn studio marketing team noticed the sales and decided they should fill that niche, but all the viewers are just confused people watching out of shock value.

Basically the war on drugs inadvertently created a massive market where people piss and shit on eachother and think they like it.

I sit here shaking my head trying to figure out why anyone would use a microwave to heat pee

It just doesn't taste the same when it's cold.
- "Hey! This no my pee!"
- Did you try to drink it straight from the source?
Well how do you heat your pee, Mr Fancypants?
- used to just keep it tucked in your armpit for body heat back in the day.
my guess is something to do with drug testing, though what exactly I'm not sure

And? That's not abnormal, they're usually at gas stations and intended for people who need to eat SOMETHING while they refuel on a long journey, usually late at night when there's not a lot open.

It's the sign that's noteworthy here.

Clearly they're just practicing their science, trying to pay homage to Hennig Brand.
