Sure, I drink my own piss. It's sterile, and I like the taste.

It's pretty much sterile if you have a catheter. That's why the joke in Dodge ball about Patches drinking his own piss works so well. He's a cripple, so he has a catheter, so "it's sterile and I like the taste!".

At the risk of being the "ackshally" guy, even indwelling catheters substantially increase the likelihood of bacteriuria, or abnormal bacteria in the urine. It gives motile bacteria additional surface area on which to make their way up the ureter, plus the initial placement can introduce microbes.

Bladders are pretty well colonized with a plethora of microbes. Short of nuking it with bleach, it's never going to be sterile.

the first ever urinary tract infection i had was when i had a catheter, and it took ages to clear it, 0/10 do not recommend.

This guy catheters.

Or the joke in Catch22 where the nurse swaps the drip and catheter bottles once a day.

yeah, that myth is constantly popping up. it's just that whatever bacteria live in your bladder just dont grow outside of it, and thats what makes it look "sterile" if you just check with standard media.

Thats also an issue with everything growing in the stomach, like heliobacter pylori - you have to provide the living conditions of the inside of the stomach to grow and keep a sample for research.
