    The bathroom pipes are not designed to handle human discharge other than your regular bathroom duties

    Oh, please, if it can handle the diarrhea from Taco Bell, it can take anything.

      I always wonder about this, it seems like such an obvious lie.

      Any Lemmy plumbers want to confirm or deny that jism protein can fuck up the pipes?

        Not a plumber but worked with one for 3 months. the urine seemed to be the worsg thing in the pipes. the solids settle out in the trap and elbows, building into a cake of urea/phosphorous cemented to the pipe. this is only anecdotal.

        Fatbergs near apartment buildings are the problem more than anything. The local high schools where I live only have 8" sewer laterals
