Clog this.

After having watched that and not being impressed, (I see that all the time lol)... I checked out some yankie toilets on youtube.

Those poor bastards.

What an age we live in.

I was quite impressed when you posted a toilet flushing.

This truly is the peak of humanity.

Fucking wonderful. I love how we can do something like launch a space shuttle with only two incidents, yet we can't make a fucking plumbing system that doesn't clog whenever you take a big shit. Let's get NASA to research plumbing systems.

Yeah we can, mine never clogs

This.

At this point it doesn't sound like its the "one turd" It sounds like its tons of build up leading up to this.

My old apartment had a toilet that flushed kinda like that video posted... only more force, and less water splashing about. In fact there was hardly any in the bowl at any given time but it would suck just about anything down.

Crazy shit. Toilet engineering seems interesting to me. All got the same water pressure to work with... which as I understand is basically just the weight & height of the water above the bowl... and yet some toilets unleash such fury while others only dribble. I don't see how some manufacturers can get such power out of like 2-3 feet of energy.

Pressurized tanks inside the upper tank.  The water coming into your house is usually around 40 psi and up.  Plenty of power to move stuff along.

Looks like this!

That's what all 5 toilets in both my houses look like tbh.

see this is why you need 2 modes of flushing

In Germany and Austria, pretty much every toilet has two buttons: A small one for when you're just peeing and a big one for the other stuff. They also use more water and stuff than American household toilets.

Clogging a household toilet with a shit is easy, though. I used to do it in my house in the States all the time in our downstairs bathroom. I had to use ONLY the upstairs toilet and let gravity work its magic otherwise there was a high likelihood of the toilet getting clogged. But you're only really cool when you can clog a hotel toilet...

I clogged a hotel toilet once. Thankfully the pour-hot-water-onto-it trick worked there.
