So this is a US thing, with the weird half-full-of-water bowls, right?

I've had a messy clog maybe once in my life, but evven then it didn't just fill horrifically with water and overflow. It's such a trope that all I can assume is that maybe US toilets do that sometimes?

Denvil,

It happens occasionally, it’s not like they overflow after one flush. You flush, notice the water isn’t going down, plunger it, and usually you’re good

“Surely the weight of a few more gallons will push it th-- ah, fuck!”

variants,

Plus there’s a knob where the toilet water hose connects that you can turn off if you see it filling up so that it doesn’t overflow

spauldo,

That won’t stop it from overflowing. You need to pop the lid off the toilet, push the float down, and unhook the chain going to the flap.

moody,

The flap should stop the toilet from flushing once the tank is empty. You shouldn’t need to do anything manually to stop it. That’s why people are concerned that your toilet overflows. A single flush should never cause your toilet to overflow, even if it’s clogged.

spauldo,

Yes, but people tend to have the habit of flushing at least twice in hopes the second time works, despite past experience.

This entire conversation confirms that apparently yeah, US toilets do this and as usual Americans will blame just about everybody for a problem that is readily solvable instead of actually fixing it.

I didn't think I was gonna end up with toilets as a metaphor for, you know, health care, political corruption and gun control, but here we are.

spauldo,

Sure, I’ll just smuggle in European toilets to replace the perfectly serviceable toilets in my house.

Shall I remove the toilet seats and paper as well to really get that “Spanish gas station” feel?

Or maybe - just maybe - it’s not a big enough problem for anyone to take the time to fix.

I rest the hell out of my case. That case is so rested it's fully asleep.

Cornelius_Wangenheim,

It’s really only kids / idiots that overflow the toilet, since it takes several flushes on a fully clogged toilet to get the water level that high.

peopleproblems,

Ok, so my toilets are like 23 years old, I have no knowledge on how they work, but both clog easily and both overfill if you don’t shut off the water.

What the fuck is wrong with my toilets/plumbing?

teejay, (edited )

my toilets are like 23 years old

You’re more than two decades out of date with design and material improvements. And I’m guessing there are likely issues with things like gaskets and seals that are causing problems. Go pick up some new toilets and hire a plumber to install them, since you may need new valves, flanges, and who knows what else.

peopleproblems,

I mean that makes sense. i probably just needed someone else to say it before I felt comfortable putting that money down. thank you

teejay,

You bet! While you’re at it, you should seriously consider installing one with a bidet seat. It will, quite literally, change your life. It’s that much better. There are cheap ones available on Amazon that you can install yourself, or you can splurge for a nice toto washlet or similar. Either way, go for it!

peopleproblems,

oh I got one of those. you better fucking believe it changed my life. like I think I might be the only person I know with one, and honestly, it’s really gross to think of how many people don’t use them

teejay,

Preach it brother. When I try to tell people about how amazing they are, I usually get the same reaction of eww gross. So I always respond with: “If you got human poop on your arm, would you just wipe it with dry toilet paper and consider it clean? Or would you wash it?” That usually lands it home.

Quite literally one of the best experiences. Not sure why this isn’t more popular over here.

American plumbing sucks. I never once clogged a toilet in my 10 years living in Germany - those things would suck down ANYTHING. Here they sometimes just decide to back up for no visible reason.

But like the other poster said, they rarely overflow - you just have a gross bowl of water to deal with trying to plunge it down.

Plot twist: it’s the same house

Have you not heard of appartments before?

pewgar_seemsimandroid,

he probably has, but it could still be for 1 person

madmaurice,
@madmaurice@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Right, but then “iT’s tHE SaME HoUSe” still isn’t a plot twist. It very obviously is the same house. The question is whether it’s the same tennant.

fushuan,

It’s not obvious that it’s the same house. House doesn’t necessarily equate building. People use house and home interchangeably, and in an apartment complex “house” can refer to a single apartment. Thus, when saying that it’s the same house they are saying that the same person owns those apartments. You might not agree with that definition of house, but that clearly what the OP is using.

madmaurice,
@madmaurice@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

A house is a building. Do you by any chance mean household ?

fushuan,

It’s not what I mean, it’s what the OP meant, and yeah, they meant household when saying house but that was pretty apparent by the context.

madmaurice,
@madmaurice@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

They’re two different things though? They’re not synonyms…

fushuan,

Well, you suggested me household and since English is not my first language I thought that that was the correct word, but it isn’t.

House in Spanish for example can mean a building, or an apartment, and I thought it also did in English, but after searching for a bit, for building it can’t be used as apartment. In any case, in the way OP used the word it’s clear to me that they mean that all the windows are of the same owner/big apartment, instead of being apartments of separate owners. Have a nice day.

(BTW, unless Cambridge is wrong house can also be used as household: (dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/…/house: all the people living in a house)

madmaurice,
@madmaurice@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

In any case, in the way OP used the word it’s clear to me that they mean that all the windows are of the same owner/big apartment, instead of being apartments of separate owners.

People also thought that Russia wouldn’t invade Ukraine, because it was clear to them. Either write what you mean or don’t act surprised if people take what you said at face value…

would be cooler if their was a settinf tk just re-link all yt links to piped

gio1135,

why would one want to do that (i have no idea what piped bot is)

Waraugh,

Because it’s annoying useless bullshit clogging up comments with links to a service that doesn’t work for shit.

gio1135,

still don’t know what piped bot is but i turned on the setting

Waraugh,

Oh, it’s a bot that responds to comments that have a YouTube link. The response contains an alternative link to a nonfunctional service called piped.
