February 20, 201115 yr comment_377529 Well, considering that everything in the good ol' USA is the "right" way, then isn't Australia upside down, with backwards toilets and people who drive on the wrong side of the roads? :wink2: Report
February 20, 201115 yr comment_377532 The direction of toilet flushing is determined by the coreolis effect and depends on positioning in the northern or southern hemisphere, therefore isn't it more likely that I was refering to hemispherical persperctive and not geopolitical? Report
February 20, 201115 yr comment_377534 Didn't you know that the Coriolis effect is negligible for a system as small as a toilet and the direction is primarily determined by the water jets? Report
February 20, 201115 yr comment_377537 Isn't drainage speed relative to the Earth's rotation the determining factor of the coriolis effect rather than size?(though to be fair Australian toilets use about 1/3 the water that American ones use so the water drains before any rotation begins, the up side being we waste less water and don't splash as much ) Edited February 20, 201115 yr by Count Rhinehart Report
