Actually it is relevant whether you live above or below the Equator. Because if you live in the Northern hemisphere the toilet bowl drains one way and in the Southern hemisphere it drains the other way. The relevance comes into knowing which way the water drains. Tiolet bowls are not designed to drain the water a certain way or when you eat cereal or soup out of a “bowl” it too is designed to be eaten out of in a certain way. But I guess you have never been across the Equator to know this thus showing your ignorance. And thus it became an analogy germane to the article. But alas, you wouldn’t know what an analogy is if it hit you upside your head. Your stupidity came into play by your overall response. Next time you flush your toilet bowl, you check if it drains the way it was designed.
Ignorance will always be curable, stupidity never.
You are one nasty individual aren't you?
You'd think that someone who calls others
ignorant and
stupid wouldn't so easily display their own!?
There are a ton of articles to explore on the subject
IF you are able to read and comprehend!
(You are able to do both?)
Your myth is/was based on what the Coriolis effect does to tornado's and hurricanes in different zones!
I am a retired commercial carrier pilot and yes, I have been north and south of the equator and places which ignorant folks such as yourself could only dream of!
I've done some searches for you since you don't seem to have ever tried the process?
I even included the leftist's bible
snopes within the results!
(Last summary and link)
Consider yourself lucky that this post is old, according to FR standards!
Not many will see it and know ..
What real Ignorance is!
(SNIP)However, our initial proposition does remain a myth. Toilets don’t flush the opposite way in Australia and water doesn’t drain in opposite directions on either side of the equator no matter how far you are from it.
We can now safely flush this myth down the drain.
Forever.
FOR THE IGNORANT
Toilets and sinks drain in the directions they do because of the way water is directed into them or pulled from them.
If water enters in a swirling motion (as it does when a toilet is flushed, for example), the water will exit in that same swirling pattern.
As well, most basins have irregular surfaces and are not perfectly level, factors that influence the direction in which water spirals down their drains.
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.
YES ... SNOPES
Oh and .. Don't bother responding with: "There are videos proving it!"
If you do learn to do the Search thing .. All of those videos have been debunked!
As I originally posted: It is the way the flow is started that determines the direction!
As you said and I suspect .. stupidity is enduring!
