This. Never got why people found it gross. It's water with minerals and stuff in it. That's it. Being heavily diluted in more water which is below you washing yourself off.
They used to wash clothes in urine to bleach it (I think bleach?). It's sterile and not really gross.
well it is human waste
Urine was used in the dying process
Maybe the folks who go on about it being so gross have partially clogged drains and they're standing in a puddle
Pee is splashing on the shower floor and drops may go anywhere, so at the end you may end up with piss in your shower walls / curtains.
Note: I just realized my English vocabulary is quite limited on bathroom items
If it's splashing there, all the other water is too, so it would quickly get rinsed.

I used to do this a lot until I realised that the water may not clean out the urine thoroughly so I started using the toilet.

Wouldn't the running water from the shower do the same thing?

That’s not how any of this works.

Urine has nothing to do with the growth of foot fungus.

Unless you're peeing on yourself after you've already washed, it's not. Your toilet and shower drains both go to the same place, and flushing the toilet wastes more water than just rinsing it down with water you've already used to wash with.
