Yeah, I've seen that... it's usually posted by people who have their calories confused.

OP seems to undertand. But I'll add this bit. Thermodynamics applies to things, not events. Peeing is an event, urine is a thing.

If you pee on yourself, it will remove heat, due to evaporative cooling.

That depends on the relative humidity of the air. If the air is supersaturated, peeing on yourself will make you feel hotter.

That's an excellent point that I neglected to consider!
