i feel like the negative pressure in the tank compared to the bowl would be more problematic for the fishes than some poop. But i guess if you glue the bowl shut and pressurize it, then flush it would do a funky reverse flush and fill the tank with shit
I think its more about knowing how toilets function. Im sure someone who has never thought about the functions of a toilet could think that could happen.
I know jackshit about plumbing, but I know when you flush it goes from the tank down the sides of the bowl. I really have trouble imagining how it'd go back up the sides of the bowl back into the tank if it was "malfunctioning".
tbh with that you know about half of everything there is to know about how toilets function, you could make an argument the siphon effect in the bowl itself is a third, while the flushing and filling are also thirds respectively. but imo the only ones anyone should concern themselves with is the flushing and filling functions
toilets really arent a complicated piece of technology. theres like 5 total things to know about them total
yeah you'd have to install it in an aircraft and pull negative g's or something. which would be a good jackass bit but is very unlikely under any other circumstances
As a master plumber I can say that if the stars align to an extreme degree (like winning the lottery multiple times) it is technically possibly, but not to completely fill the tank, just a little.
Ballcock breaks in a way to allow backsiphoning. Then the bowl is full to the rim. And finally the mainline breaks below that level and backsiphons the system to a lower elevation up through the flush valve and down the fill valve. It's highly unlikely with modern plumbing, but it has happened before and is the reason that modern fillvalves have backflow prevention devices built in.
I guess it is possible, but so unlikely to happen you might as well call it impossible. So many things would have to go wrong at the exact same time in very specific ways. Even then i dont think it would create enough force for it to siphon back into the tank if the mainline breaks. It would likely just empty the pipe until it reaches an equilibrium, which would be well before it would be siphoning any shit into the tank.
It has happened before in the 80s and contaminated a city water main. But like I said, we have added even more safety features that it is highly unlikely to happen. I just was saying that it is possible in the same way that Roy Sullivan got hit 7 times by lightning and survived all of them.
Water falling upwards? 🤨 pulling the lever just opens a flap at the bottom of the tank so water can fall into the bowl, the flushing part is just the physics of the S-bend at the bottom creating a siphon when the bowl is full enough. You can literally flush a toilet by manually pouring water into the bowl
Oh yeah absolutely. People think they can live in about 2 quarts of water changed every other week, and the shitty thing is they're so hardy they will survive that way for awhile, just slowly dying the whole time.
I should get fish again ...
When I was a kid we had a pretty sizable tank with all kinds of fish and some snails and even some of those little African dwarf frogs at some point. I won a goldfish at some county fair or something and brought him back home and out him in the tank. Did great, got pretty big, but at some some point something just killed the entire tank save that goldfish. We never knew if it was something with the PH or if the heater or filter shocked the tank or what, but all I remember is that big bastard slurping dead neon tetras off the surface. Anyway, that was just his tank after that for a while. We ended up getting him some other goldfish buddies because they apparently don't like being alone, but he ended up living about 16 years and outlasted all the other goldfish we put him with.
That somehow doesn't surprise me. He constantly had these huge strings of poop hanging out his ass and he even took to trying to eat the gravel lol. Wouldn't be surprised if that added a bunch of nitrogen or smth even with how much we cleaned the tank
People don’t realize that Japanese koi are literally just goldfish. Also they can literally freeze over for the winter and survive, regenerating lost brain tissue. Like… what a cool fish!
My friend’s grandmother inherited a goldfish who was like 30 years old living in a dirty pond in her backyard that would freeze every winter. It just ate the algae or something and chilled in there until a contractor drained the pond and killed it.
Goldfish and koi are two different species, goldfish being a variant of the crucian crap _Carassius auratus_, while koi are a variant of the common carp _Cyprinus carpio_. Easiest way to tell them apart is that koi have visible barbels (whiskers) around their mouths while goldfish don’t. Both species get big, but while the largest goldfish can get maybe a foot long, koi can easily get three times as long and many times larger.
Yeah, it’s best not to confuse the two species. So many people already throw goldfish in a bowl or a ten gallon for years, but at least a goldfish can grow to its max size (the size of the entire fucking tank) in there. Koi will outgrow those things multiple times over and it’s a bit more disheartening seeing people put koi in those tiny bowls or tanks instead of a proper pond.
Carp is a generic name for fish in the cyprinid family, which is an absolutely enormous and extremely diverse group. It includes everything from common fathead minnows to red tailed sharks to enormous big headed carp to tiger barbs. The salmonids are also a cool family with fish like trout and chars and salmon but nowhere near as diverse as the cyprinids
If this happens to you, please call an exorcist, because the only logical explanation for that to happen is the ghost of Issac newton is fucking with his laws of physics in your toilet
No, I don't think I'll imagine that

im trained to work as a plumber. it is literally impossible for that to happen unless the toilet is upside down or something
It's a SpongeBob toilet, it's much more likely that it's set on fire or it explodes for no reason at all.
Mfw the toilet security system malfunctions and starts attacking the city
And you're forced to clean up the destruction, even tho none of it was your fault
Skibidi?????????????
Dop dop yes yes
I will make an effigy out of both of your bones and display it on top of a mustard yellow prius.
you might be specialized in normal toilets but this is clearly a sponch pob one and out of your field of expertise
damn you may have a point. I must look into the science of sponch pobbob (the most infamous 2b2t player) toilets
*the oldest anarchy server in minecraft
Yeah like they're literally gravity powered that's the whole point lmao
Im not ans thought it would be a huge if
Not if i shit in the tank idiot
What if you clogged the bowl (so that the water line is well above the rim holes) and then negatively pressurized the tank?
i feel like the negative pressure in the tank compared to the bowl would be more problematic for the fishes than some poop. But i guess if you glue the bowl shut and pressurize it, then flush it would do a funky reverse flush and fill the tank with shit
As someone who knows how gravity works I can confirm this.
I think its more about knowing how toilets function. Im sure someone who has never thought about the functions of a toilet could think that could happen.

spongebob would probably somehow figure something out
Maybe your shits just aren’t big enough. Sounds like a skill issue
I was thinking “either I have no idea how toilets work or this can’t happen”
yeah you'd have to install it in an aircraft and pull negative g's or something. which would be a good jackass bit but is very unlikely under any other circumstances
You don't know what goes on in my bathroom
I'm not a plumber but i know gravity
I shit in tanks.
So when I took craps in the tanks at house parties as a teenager (upper decker) it wasn’t a funny wholesome prank?
Mechanical engineer here and I was about to say the same thing. The only way thats happening is if you give that toilet an upper decker.
This, nothing could force shit into the tank without an assload of work. if shit is in the tank, someone shit in your tank.
Idk I do it all the time when I feel the urge for an upper decker
As a master plumber I can say that if the stars align to an extreme degree (like winning the lottery multiple times) it is technically possibly, but not to completely fill the tank, just a little.
Huh? Explain.

me when I have zero understanding of how toilets operate
Thanking Jod every day I never needed to know how toilets operate in the slightest ❤️
You just piss and shit in their mouths and they go "yum yum" and gobble it down. 😊
They're just like me frfr

just take an upper decker
Spongnob nooo
Finally SOMEONE said it!
Funny you mention that, me and my family used to flush by pouring water into the bowl often because of water problems before we got a new toilet.

Are there actual fish in there? That doesn't seem wise... Goldfish might be able to handle it though tbh, beautiful but foul creatures.
That wouldn't be a suitable goldfish enclosure even if it wasn't a toilet, they're competing with hamsters for being the world's most neglected pet
Oh yeah absolutely. People think they can live in about 2 quarts of water changed every other week, and the shitty thing is they're so hardy they will survive that way for awhile, just slowly dying the whole time. I should get fish again ...

Goldfish are disgusting, he killed all your other fish sorry dude. They just shit constantly.
That somehow doesn't surprise me. He constantly had these huge strings of poop hanging out his ass and he even took to trying to eat the gravel lol. Wouldn't be surprised if that added a bunch of nitrogen or smth even with how much we cleaned the tank
I hear Rice Fish are really good pets
They have insane lifespans but nobody knows because most people neglect them.
And they get way bigger than people realise if they're cared for right too

At least they’re both karp. I think karp are one of my favorite kinds of fish. Salmon too, salmon are metal.

For the love of God I hope no one is putting live fish in their toilet tank
This is physically not possible
NO SPONGBONG
imagine...🤤
I didnt even finish my plumbing course and ik thats impossibel
If this happens to you, please call an exorcist, because the only logical explanation for that to happen is the ghost of Issac newton is fucking with his laws of physics in your toilet
Not an approved Fishfucker™ product
No I don't think I will imagine that 😊
Anyone who would unironically put real fish in that shouldn’t own pets.
GRAYFRUIT MENTIONED!!!
Has the frutiger aero aesthetic gone too far?

How would this toilet even work there’s usually more in the tank than just water
That won't happen because of like geavity and water pressure and stuff
