I pissed myself in front of two coworkers once.

To be fair it was because I passed out, in the hospital, where they had taken me because I had malaria.

E: that reminds me of an OSHA story too, there was a guy around the same time, got malaria and he got his company to fly him home to get treated in a Proper German Hospital.

...who called him a loving moron because what do they know better about malaria than the hospitals where they get malaria.

I appreciate them throwing in just enough bracing to make sure the bottom end will kick up and take a chunk out of the house it's next to once it falls. You really can't leave that up to chance...

I only pissed my pants once, and it was at work.

Twelve hours in full gear, most of that with wind whipping dust into our faces hard enough to blind the eyes and blister the skin. Packed shoulder to shoulder so tight we could barely raise our arms, with the din so loud you could scarcely hear the man next to you.

But you could hear the wailing of the Romans. They were pressed even tighter than, fenced in on every side by Carthaginian, Gaul, and the Spaniards like cornered hares. Their mouths let out wordless screams as they were hacked down, pressed in even tighter than we. 70,000 of them, enough blood that it felt like you were wading in the sea. And that, for hours and hours on end.

You’d have pissed yourself too.

That’s kinda a my question: is it a pressure created by the boat that helps the dolphin use it the way birds use jet streams to conserve energy?

Here’s hoping that some goon with with PhD in sea mammal hydrodynamics chimes in.

As the boat moves forward, it has to displace the water that was in the space that it is in now. Some of that water is pushed forward (and then out). New water with forward velocity is constantly replacing the old water that eventually leaves. The dolphin is getting pushed by the forward-moving water.

Whether it's air or water, the movement of an object through a medium creates a pressure wave that expands outward from the object in the direction of travel. This is caused by the displacement of the medium itself as the object travels through it. Air - really any fluid - behaves in the same way. It's the reason why you get blasted with a huge gust of wind if you're standing by the side of the road and a big truck goes by at speed.

In fact, car drivers leverage this phenomenon to do something called 'drafting' (I like to call it the 'Trucc Succ') to reduce drag and improve their fuel effiency. Just as the front of the moving object develops a pressure wave in front of it, a region of reduced pressure forms at the rear, creating a vacuum effect that pulls objects in close proximity along in the object's wake. The downside is that in order to be in the Succ Zone, your following distance is too short to allow for adequate braking. OSHA (and DOT) would not approve.

The fun thing is humans don't have a sense that tells us something is wet. Our brain figures it out from temp, textures and circumstances. That's why a spreading warmth in your crotch makes your brain say "I think we pissed ourselves". It's also why I hate when coworkers would leave the heated seats on in a vehicle and I would feel them as I started down the road.

But you're able to confirm that you didn't piss yourself, so there's some extra mechanism that tells if it's actually wet or not. I can't think of many false positives or false negatives where we can actually convince ourselves something is wet when it isn't or dry when it's wet.

My dryer's in my garage. If I leave my laundry out there too long during the winter, I have to bring it inside and let it warm up before I can tell if it's still damp.

In Japan and Peru deliberately. For everyone else? There's a reason why cans of tuna sometimes say something about being "dolphin-safe". (Actual dolphin safety may vary.)
