Just using a silly example, I’m just curious how pouring water like liquid into another water like liquid can create short lived bubbles

Thanks for your input

    Surface tension. When the urine stream hits the water, it splashes a little, and air gets mixed in. When the air comes up, it might not have enough force to overcome the surface tension of the water, and it forms a bubble.

    But urine isn’t pure water. Pure water tends not to bubble as much.

    If you enjoy the pee bubbles, here’s a fun fact- if you consume enough dish soap it can cause vomitting.

      In more detail, the surfactants in concentrated soaps will basically rip your esophagus apart one cell at a time!
