    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.

        Pro tip—stick on hand warmers and a stick on fish tank thermometer. If it’s a little too hot, just take the hand warmer off of it and wait 30 seconds until it cools to a delicious 98.6.

        They’d have to check that pretty fast or it would cool off anyways but now I just feel bad for the people whose job it is to handle the piss thermometer.

          In my experience, it’s like a temperature-sensitive sticker on the side of the cup, that’ll indicate the maximum temperature of the contents. That way it also checks for people who accidentally over-heated their fake/borrowed piss.

              A buddy of mine had this job, he’s got some good stories. Using packets of hand warmers to keep it warm would work better

              The awkward thing is I always tend to accidentally get piss on my hands and on the outside of the cup and then you have to hand it to the worker in shame after trying to clean it with the shitty 1 ply toilet paper and them telling you that you aren’t allowed to wash your hands

                  In drug tests, they want to make sure you aren’t diluting the sample for drug testing lol. Very common practice when getting a new job. They let you wash your hands after they take the sample. It’s just awkward and embarrassing with your piss hands in the interim lol.
