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.

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] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

Puke is also permitted.

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

I was told to use a gerbil.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

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

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] 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Not normally, but then I ran into one of these

It says you can flush me.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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 1 week 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 1 week ago (1 children)

Finally, my dreams have been answered!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Now let's find a flushable burger box.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week 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.
