What are your arguments for or against letting it mellow if it is yellow?
And if you somehow disagree with flushing it down if it is brown, I suppose I would like to hear about that as well.

Everyone saying that piss stinks really need to be drinking more water #Hydro Homies
First of all, if you can't smell the uric acid and urea in piss, there's probably something wrong with your nose.
Piss sitting in a bowl for hours will become really stinky later. When leaving the body of a healthy person, piss can be considered sterile. Once it's exposed to air and sits in a bowl however, microorganisms will start living off of it and will reproduce, which alters it and often creates extra smells.
This has nothing to do with how much water you drink. It's just because of urine is how the body gets rid off waste. There are spores in the air and bacteria clinging to difficult to reach areas of the bowl, as well as living in the pipes beyond it. Those will reach the bowl and find some of the waste can still nourish them.
K but if you're drinking water regularly, you're going to be peeing regularly. So you're probably not leaving it to sit for hours. Flush every two pees and it's no problem!
For real. I have a pissoir in my garage that i don't use too often. Once my dad was over and used it and apparently didn't flush. I went in there a day or two later and it was full of murky brown-ish water that smelled absolutely disgusting. I know the last time he drank water was probably in 2006, but still
...or they just live with someone who needs to be drinking more water.
Piss smells when it has been sitting for hours and hours. If your piss is totally clear, you are over hydrated. You don't need to be drinking an excessive amount of water unless you have particular needs. Normal urine should have a slight yellow tinge.
Just because you've gone nose blind to your piss filled toilet, doesn't mean that people you have over will be. I had a grandfather that absolutely never flushed for urine and his place smelled disgusting whenever I would go for a visit.
Over hydrated? Not possible. I drink 4l a day and my piss is never yellow and doesn't smell. If your piss is yellow, you need more water and less non water drinks like coffee, soda/pop.
Yup, it's possible. You can fuck up your electrolyte balance by drinking excessive amounts of water.
Believe it or not, you can even die from drinking excessive amounts of water. It's rare and you'd have to try pretty hard to do so, but it's more than possible.

Urine also has a smell. You don't notice it when just pissing into a bowl of water, but if you let it sit for hours and hours it can become gross.
Excess of body water may also be a result of a medical condition or improper treatment; see "hyponatremia" for some examples. Water is considered one of the least toxic chemical compounds, with an LD50 exceeding 90 ml/kg in rats;[3] drinking six liters in three hours has caused the death of a human.[4]

Very excessive yes but 4L in a 16 hour window is not even close, it's ideal.
