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?
Shit dissolves better. Food (generally) has more fats and oils that will stick and clog the pipes…
It’s the same pipe.
Combined with wet wipes, it transforms to Fatbergs. I really recommend the chapter about “Notable fatbergs”
Just don’t read about gutter oil afterward or you might immediately have some solids to throw at your plumbing.
“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.”
At 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
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!
Speaking for your shit. I’m sure these some fat grease shit out the sticking and evolving in some pipes.
