Why would you flush them? Do people not look forward to eating the cardboard tube whenever they finish a roll?

Are you a rabbit by chance?

Nevermind, looked at the name.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

Nope. The three P's; Poo, Piss and Paper are the only things that should be flushed.

And even then, only bog paper. Not tissues or magazines or owt

What about puke and periods

Puke is also permitted.

Not really, they won't break down quickly and won't go around the pipes intact.

what if I leave it in there for an hour or two, and then flush?

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

No. Toilet paper is specifically designed to rapidly break down.

It's the PFAS, makes it a lot more water soluble.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

Don’t flush it down the loo. Keep it for your felching hamster.

that's your cock in disguise, isn't it

I was told to use a gerbil.

Even better, save them up and build a castle in your living room!

I did this for 2 years, planned to make some wall sound proofing. Instead I binned the lot in the paper bin the day I moved out

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

I have an acquaintance who works as a plumber. The only things to go into the toilet are human excrement and toilet paper, literally nothing else.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Some thin bubblewrap and vaseline will see you all right.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Not normally, but then I ran into one of these

It says you can flush me.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

don't trust things that say they are flushable, lots of "wet wipes" say they are, but they still clog up our sewers.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I was thinking, and that's the reason I could take a photo of it: I hesitated to flush it. It still felt rather hard to the touch, but again, I haven't even tried leaving it in a bowl of water or something.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Finally, my dreams have been answered!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Now let's find a flushable burger box.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

yes please 🥲

Only if you pull the layers apart and tear it to really small pieces. Also better not flush it at once, but trifle the pieces in while the water flushes, so it can't form a lump.

In the US toilets have tiny pipes, but in regions in the EU, where they have like 11cm diameter pipes, you don't have to tear it as small.
