What if all toilets 🚽were flushed simultaneously?
If we coordinated the simultaneous flushing of all toilets 🚽 in the world 🌎 , there would likely be pipe explosions💥in some places caused by a shortage of water 💦for refilling all the bowls (and thus, air entering the pipes, causing pressure changes). But for the most part, crisis would be averted by a technicality: Each toilet is located a different distance away from the main sewage line, so simultaneous flushes are actually staggered when it comes to delivering their water 💦 to the main. Rather than a peak in sewage flow, the system would receive a smooth curve of commode contributions.
