I’ve heard multiple times that it’s not okay to allow any food to go down the drain even with a garbage disposal, I guess because solids shouldn’t go down the drain. But we put a shit ton of solids down the drain through the toilet and that seems to be fine. Does the toilet go to a different sewage pipe then the sink? Or does shit have different properties that make it dissolve better?

    Combined with wet wipes, it transforms to Fatbergs. I really recommend the chapter about “Notable fatbergs”

      Why are the notable ones all European/Oceanic?

      Also hilarious that the only American one is also the only one that mentions sewage spilling out because of it.

      I thought America was #1. Up your game, USA. Get those fatburgs going!

      “The most notable Fatberg is Lord Eustace Fatberg IV. Lord Eustace had no hobbies as he was a non-sentient amalgam of human waste, wet wipes and fat lodged in a sewer.”
