- Taniwha 9y agoand non-toilets have the hot tap on the other side potentially biasing things when they are filled
- djsumdog 9y agoWhen I lived in AU and later NZ, I'd get this question and I'd respond the same way. AU and NZ toilets are almost always dual-flush (dual flush toilets were invented in AU) and they push water quickly front to back, not in a swirl like US toilets. I've also never clogged an AU or NZ toilet. Not to say you can't, just that it's much more difficult with their design.
- Double_a_92 9y agoNeither do they in Europe... It's probably just a 'murican thing.
- stephen_g 9y agoYeah, American toilets are weird. First time I saw one (at LAX after flying in from Australia) I thought it was broken - firstly given the huge amount of water in it at the start, and then the way it fills up when you flush it! I really thought it was going to overflow.
- trapperkeeper74 9y agoI guess people are proud of their excements and want to parade them around as long as possible by making it take an unnecessarily long time and wasting as much water as possible. It's like, to them, toilets should have a flush song and they need to selfie vlog dance about their "accomplishment" like saying "first."
