Which way does your toilet swirl?

Which way does your toilet swirl?

Clockwise or counterclockwise when you flush?

And give us your location on earth too.

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! :P
now as to water swirling while being flushed from a toilet. some toilets flush with such force that the water does not swirl. :wink:

If you retards would only read what was on that site then benji didn't had to kill the thread twice, and the thread would have diverted to a different topic thereby prolonging its usefulness in the forum. :P
