A Redditor, @Renderedperson enquired fellow Bengalureans about some hilarious ways to save water. Some of the Redditor’s personal suggestions included reversing one’s underwear to use it the next day. And even starting a “bringing your kid to office” initiative to bathe the child in the office’s gym shower. Another tip included showering with one’s significant other. And if that wasn’t enough, the Netizen also envisioned a startup where water would be delivered to one’s doorstep in just 10 minutes.

The post garnered over 427 upvotes and over 180 comments. @TinySpirit3444 recommended people to piss on their plants instead of watering them. To this, a Netizen advised against it as human urine is too strong for plants. Their suggestion? Dilute the urine in a 1:10 ratio before nourishing plants. For authentic Silicon Valley feels (and to save water, of course) a Netizen suggested using toilet paper instead of a bidet or jet spray.

Another person recommended Bengalureans dine at restaurants instead of cooking at home.

Their tips include air or sun-drying clothes instead of washing them with water.

When it comes to plants, @Secret-Success said, “Sell them back to the nursery.” “Don’t brush, just use Colgate mouthwash. Go for a clean shave or go bald,” said the Redditor.
