Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Urine contains salt, always, even when in a state of hyponatremia: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/sodium-excretion (scroll down to the kidney disease paper, it wont show any of the text on the direct link, insert obligatory hate on academic publishers)

I hope you don't need a source for distilled water not containing salt or water needing to be excreted or for sweat (the other way water leaves your body) containing salt, I already spent way too much time on this because sourcing on mobile is a pain.

And yes, <10mmol/l isn't a lot. That's <500mg (and how low it can go precisely idk, couldn't find that, but likely much lower, given that the <10mmol figure is a threshold for diagnosis of kidney issues) You replenish that through food, easily (esp these days where sodium intake is, if anything, very high). That's the whole point. Barring very extreme situations, healthy kidneys will regulate your sodium levels just fine.

Urine contains salt, always,

You are arguing with the wrong person then mate, that’s what I’ve said lmfao.

Urine always contains salt, so distilled water isn’t a factor. Yeesh buddy. Your body will get minerals and electrolytes from the food and other stuff you ingest.

Sure if you negligently put yourself in a situation and don’t eat any food, even tap water won’t be enough. So how is distilled water a factor…? Please provide a source for THIS, because your other crap is pedantism, and incorrectly too I hope you notice now with these additional data points you seem to not know about… somehow….
