Hazard Lee on YouTube has a great video going into the new system they have for fighter pilots to pee in their planes.


Do you have details on this? The (non-new) system is (At least in the US), a piddle pack. It's a thick plastic bag that folds flat, filled with kitty litter. Turns into pee gel. That's for men. The women's ones are more complicated, and have electrical pumps.


I wonder what kind of other jobs/occupations require having some kind of pee management system. Maybe astronauts?


Pretty sure astronauts do too. I remember the weird astronaut love triangle incident where some astronaut lady who was in love with some other astronaut drove nonstop cross-country with apparently a BB gun and wearing a diaper to do God knows what to the guy. It was explained that wearing a diaper during spacewalks was routine for astronauts, so it probably seemed like a reasonable and convenient thing to do for her, rather than crazy and outlandish as it seemed to most regular people.


Amazon warehouse workers?
