Other video games, TV shows, movies, general chit-chat...this is an all-purpose off-topic board where you can talk about anything that doesn't have its own dedicated section.

Clockwise or counterclockwise when you flush?
And give us your location on earth too.

*flush*
Counter-clockwise.

Good darko, what is going on here...
The Coriolis effect produces a measurable effect over huge distances and long periods of time, neither of which applies to your bathroom. Toliets and sinks drain in the directions they do because of the way water is directed into them or pulled from them. ... The configuration of taps and drains is responsible for the direction of spin given to water draining from sinks and bathtubs to a degree that overwhelms the slight influence of the Coriolis force.
Despite what you might have previously thought, cartoons are not reality.

not all toilets swirl either when flushed. in fact most toilets dont swirl come to think of it!
now as to water swirling while being flushed from a toilet. some toilets flush with such force that the water does not swirl.

but...you can make them swirl!...take a spoon and stir the water...then flush it...
