In the 1970's, the NE Patriots opened a new stadium. At Half-Time, the plumbing literally blew up. Simultaneous flushing was deemed the cause.

Zimbabwe remains undeterred.

I’m guessing a few missing enemies of Mugabe may show up after the flush.

Let’s hope Obamugabe doesn’t get any ideas...!

[2banana]

so flushing the 4 working toilets at the same time is going to help?

[MarineBrat]

Things are bad over there. Some people are never seen again...

[RegulatorCountry]

They’re going to blow manhole covers sky high with $#!t geysers, at least where the manhole covers haven’t been stolen and sold for scrap.

[YHAOS]

What kind of a situation might we call this?

[MasterGunner01]

If the Zim government thought up this synchronized flushing plan, what could possibly go wrong?

[Track9]

It’s going to happen en masse on November 4th.

[Uncle Miltie]

Can we do this to the Senate and WhiteOutHouse?

Authorities in Bulawayo - the country’s second-largest city - have appealed to residents to flush their toilets at 7.30pm on Monday to clear built-up waste.

The best laid plans...........

If it doesn’t work, I predict they are going to have an awful big mess on their hands. . . .

[nevergore]

The USA will do a syncronized flush of our Kenyan turd on November 6th.....

[The Duke]

There's a college dorm joke in here somewhere ... (e.g. "Flush twice, it's a long way to the cafeteria")

[canuck_conservative]

Back in 1977 - when there were only 3 networks - the series “Roots” had such a large share of viewers each night it was on, the water companies had to hire extra personnel to handle the load during each commercial break.

Synchronised Toilet Flush

someday, they may have this kind of thing in the Olympics.. as an actual event.. medals and all. ooooh the pressure..

[redshawk]

I seem to recall that in many USA cities during a SuperBowl commercial, would experience a serious water pressure drop and other drainage issues due to the simultaneous flushing. Perhaps that's what they call a RoyaleFlush.

[Blood of Tyrants]

The government created the problem by not having enough water capacity for it’s residents. Now the government’s proposes a solution. What could go wrong?

[Tigerized]

I don’t remember Rhodesia having these problems...

[John S Mosby]

Post number 3’s point is salient. How may toilets at the same time. There is a concept of something called a “water hammer” which is created when toilets in a sealed plumbing system are flushed at the same time.

This causes a back pressure/vacuum of sorts to be created. The water in the pipes rushes back to the various toilet “heads” and the impact of the pressure shatters pipes/fixtures.

The, uh... fecal matter literally would hit the air movement device if not some poor fool standing nearby. Not a nice picture.

Sort of like what happens when socialism “runs out of other people’s money”. BAM!

[Venturer]

IMO that mass flush is goin to end up in someones home.

In Zimbabwe, they probably won’t even notice the difference.

[gunnyg]

now, a critical question.....is this a government operation?
