      In the toilet like everyone else?

      You’ve probably noticed that toilets work differently to sinks.

      Your pee ends up in the p-trap (yes that’s what it’s called) and then running the water just dilutes the pee. It doesn’t get “flushed”.

        The entire premise was there not being a toilet present.

        And no, that’s not how plumbing works.

        I’m an electrician by trade, but was a plumbing apprentice way back when. Interesting theory you got there, but no… You can wash all the piss out of the p trap by running the water.

          If the sink’s p-trap isn’t getting entirely emptied then no, you’re just diluting the pee when running water.

          If the sink’s p-trap is getting entirely emptied when running the water due to a siphon action, then I hope you’re tolerating the likely sewer gases.

            So you’re under the impression that you’ll never be able to get all of the piss out of the p-trap, regardless of how much water you run down there?

            Are you a plumber?

            If so, you should find a new trade.
