I used sink plungers in toilets pretty much my whole life until i scrolled across a similar diagram one day and discovered the truth.

    Are you American though? Here in the UK, nobody really owns a plunger and they don’t need to, the plumbing is different, it doesn’t clog. Do need to own a toilet brush though, to wipe off the skidmarks, which is more rare in the US.

      It’s not just the UK that nobody needs a plunger, it’s every modern country except the US. Their plumbing is a century out of date and they eat ultra-processed junk

        Plungers are extremely common in germany. To be precise i can’t remember ever being in a bathroom without one.
