This might be the strangest rant I've read on HN.

#32This sink would actually discourage me from washing my hands. I'm not going to handle my relatively clean schlong and then try to make my hands clean by using a sink that's splattered in yellow! This certainly would succeed at making me use less water though!

Well, actually, urine is sterile. So cleanliness isn't really a factor in deciding not to use it. It is pretty gross in an illogical way, though.
Fresh urine is sterile. It's a good breeding ground though, so it rapidly becomes less sterile.

Could you explain this a little for the biological layman?

I'm a "wiper" too and feel more clean afterwards. It's one of the reasons why I try to use a proper toilet with access to paper.
While we are ranting; why don't more urinals have dividers between them to give a minimum of privacy?

There be no animals in urine from start.
But animals like urine, because urine tasty. So many animals come to urine ASAP!

It's sterile when it comes out of you. However, once it's out of you, and sitting there in a puddle, it is very easy for bacteria to grow in it.

#39Found this in a hostel in SF: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13002145/toilet_sink.jpg
It's actually incredibly efficient, using the same water which is typically used to fill the reservoir tank for future flushes. Felt odd at first, but only a took a day to assimilate.

Maybe I like shaking my penis. Maybe I'm marking my territory. Did you ever think of that?
