Hah! This is great!

I’ve done something like this, but also used the location of ISS to figure out which country was “getting pissed on the most” by the astronauts.

I’m fairly sure I got a working script somewhere for the data, but unfortunately never got around to create a leaderboard website for it :/




I would like to remind everyone that the "New pull request" button is like right there on https://github.com/jaennaet/piSSStream/pulls

It'd be fantastic to have the flag of the country last pissed on in the menu bar item.

Ie. when the tank level increased last I guess? The value doesn't always seem to just monotonically increase though, but I could be wrong – frankly I haven't paid that close attention to the value. Could also be something like microgravity causing a bit of… uh… slosh making the sensor reading slightly inaccurate, or something along those lines?


This has nerd-sniped me waaaay too much. Now I need to know the capacity of the ISS urine tank since an average adult urination is between 200 and 350ml.


Now I'm thinking doing it for constellations, which zodiac is the most celestially pissy.


Knowing which star sign 'causes' people to pee would be invaluable information to astrologists!


The sky’s the limi.. no wait :D


For some reason I assumed they ejected the piss out into space so I was imagining using pee volume drop plus station location to determine trajectory of the pee and effectively track each load as it ventures out into space.

Oh well
