So, I researched information on how people took pregnancy tests before they were invented, and I found out that there was something called a “piss prophet”. They were kinda like fortune tellers… but for pee. They used the practice of “uromancy” to diagnose a patient - they used smell, color, and even taste. Yes, taste. This is an old urine wheel they would use to decode someone’s urine:

Some took omens from the urine’s colour; others from its taste. Most commonly, piss prophets ‘read the bubbles’ seconds after it hit the divination bowl. The presence of large bubbles spread far apart signified that the urinator was about to come into a lot of money.

Super weird, right? The things you learn when you’re doing a decades challenge 😂

Hey, I've been to the social dozens of times. What do you need to know? It's on the main street in downtown orlando and there are always cops there, so it's pretty safe.

So sorry I didn’t notice this till now (I don’t normally get messages) but basically safety is the concern here because if I go to a concert there I’ll be leaving very late. If its not a bad area then this concert just got a whole lot more possible Also, any tips for going to a concert there?
