I remember reading that naked mole rat colonies do something similar. They have a piss room that they all use and they'll make sure to roll around in it to get themselves coated in the smell. If they come across any other naked mole rats in the wild and they smell like different pee, they'll know they've run into a sworn enemy and fight

So if one of them ever gets caught in the rain? They're "dead to me"
"Brother, I am home! Boy it's really coming down out there!"
"I've never met this man before in my life."
Gotta stop at the piss room before anyone finds out
Get the feeling the piss drawer is their most closely guarded room at the center of the hive.

When you think about it, they have to swim in everybody's piss. So, not much they can do there.
Basically the equivalent of dogs sniffing each other's butts if you think about it.
Me, dialoguing with myself to enter the public pool:
I'm really bad with faces but so far I've avoided having to do this. But I AM getting older.
Pissing your pants isn't the same old man, unless you can get them to really bite down on the whitey tighties and have the piss gushing out.
You might be bad with faces, but how about faeces?
"For the last time: No, I don't wanna be your fucking friend, Flipper!"
Would feeding dolphins Asparagus be eco terrorism? Or?
"Mmmm. AH! It's Todd!
WAAZAZUUUUP TODD!!! You salty piss bastard!!!"
"This piss... Jeff? Strange, it's so sweet. Jeff my dude, you need to go see a doctor"

Everyone is friends with Dale and his sweet-ass pee. Fucking diabetes.
Pissing in water to dolphins is like us farting in the air
It's their atmosphere they live in and if you emit a substance in that atmosphere (no matter how disgusting), you'll sense it
Well I don't know about everyone else, but I've never been able to identify friends from the smell of their farts.
Maybe the dolphins are onto something, maybe we should taste piss more often...
Damn Steve always eats asparagus.
Identifying Diabético Debbie is gonna be a piece of cake.
maybe we should taste piss more often...
That you, Bear Grylls?
Do you recognize your friends by their farts?
There's always that one.
Same with close family.
A rancid unholy stench from the depths of hell wafts imin from the outside as the door opens. Your are temporarily blinded as tears come to your eyes.
"Hello,Uncle Mike."
The one that eats too much protein, definitely.
wild experiment indeed
same
Dolphins stay freaky
Dolphin squeaking noises “Hey buddy you may want to get checked for diabetes. You’re tasting a little sugary bud.”
Dolphin squeaking noises “Mind your own business and stop eating kale all the damn time.”
I swear dolphins are one of the few animals that can compete with humans for sheer kinkiness.
Kinky ass fish
They're not Fish
Yes they are!
Either almost every animal is a fish or there is no such thing as a fish.
Not sure about the "almost every" part since the vast majority of animals are invertebrates, but otherwise yes.
That was part of the joke; but valid. Kinky sea mammals.
Ass fish versus sea mammal
As with us all. Amen
Bear Grylls as a dolphin
Is this what the British mean by "taking the piss"? Are we friends yet?
All I want in life is someone to douse me in hot piss and cuddle me to sleep.
Really, isn't that what everyone wants?
Sigh.
Let me get you a hood and I know a group you'll fit right in with. Bonus points if you like belly scritches and wagging your tail.
Maybe the second part, not so much the first.
Wait till you learn about lobsters.
dogs and cats do the same.
Trust but verify, now piss in my mouth!
