No, wait. I want the real answer. Is that a thing, bio-memory or whatever?
Ikr? You want a real answer but people just keep giving you jokes, or change the topic, or reply with memes / emoticons.

It's actually not known why, but it's very common with kidney transplant. I was told it's thought to be because of the bladder, not the kidney (since we can go years without peeing before transplant).
Every organ has their own nerves. Some have more or less their own brain cells (especially your gut). All nerves have memory to some degree - muscle memory is literally a thing
The amount of local regulatory control varies between organs, but the more complex they are the more you can assume the internal nerves control most of it and that the connection to the brain regulates it somewhat
CKD patients on dialysis are not used to have urine in their bladder, which has lost its muscle tone and volume because of disuse, so people need to urinate more frequently for a certain time period after their kidney transplant and their nervous system has to be retrained for sensation, contractility and voiding.
I'd say it's a thing. Different bodies, different habits, different rhythms.

He's joking now but just wait for the inevitable cyberdystopia where HP manufacturers replacement organs.
You joke, but there are already protheses which are proprietary, and have shut down. Artificial eyes is a famous example, where the company making one shut down the product line, and blinded people who'd had it installed, due to it just shutting off.
In a good world this type of shit would be illegal. We'll need a stop killing games petition but for organs soon
In any sane society, there would be heads on the chopping block for this, figuratively speaking.
Why would the company shutting down brick the device? Is it calling back home for processing or something.
Cyberpunk really sucks when it's all corpo and no chop shops.
Digital Renal Management
...simultaneously rolled out with Digital Rectal Management, of course.
Brings a whole new meaning to the ol' "drink verification can" meme. The artificial kidney could scan the contents for firmware updates and stuff. Maybe it shuts off if you don't drink one every week.
Digital Rectal Management
Bum finger as the Brits call it
What happens if you forget to pay the subscription on your sphincter?
Don't care for musicals in general but this was worth watching for zydrate anatomy alone.
Your pacemaker subscription has expired
Lol I thought "2FA" meant "Second Fucking Amendment" and I was supposed to shoot my own kidney.
That's one way to solve a lot of problems.
Slightly related XKCD:
A sufficient amount of violence can solve all problems. It's not necessarily the best solution for any given problem, or even a good one, but it's definitely a solution.
i am not password protecting my kidneys or my name isn't hepatitis murphy, shiest bladder in the east
You know you got a true friend when they give you one of their kidneys.
But make sure you get yourself into a nighttime pissing habit first, for the lolz
What if they sold one for me?
Sounds like the kidneys could use some load balancing too.
The best part of these jokes is that AI will suggest it as a solution in a couple months when you search.
The British Medical Journal has a Christmas issue in which they publish lighthearted, amusing "evidence". That really fucks with AI.
