Question

Help answer this question below.

This is really bothering me, please answer.
How does one flush of the toilet bring your poop from your bathroom all the way out to the street sewer pipe? I don't think it does, but then why doesn't everything get backed up?

    All toilet, sink, sewer, drain pipes, etc., eventually go out into the ocean, if you don't believe me, visit your local sewage treatment plant. I went on a field trip once and they showed how they take out the debri, toilet paper, sticks, etc., and how they get most of the poop out of the water, and it then goes into the bayous, when the water enters the bayou, it looks like poop water, they say bacteria in the water eats the rest of the poop out of the water that couldn't be removed by machinery. Also, guess what they do with the extracted poop. They make fertilizer pellets, for food, lawn, and plants. When they finish with the poop fertilizer most of it is green. Check it out for yourself.

    I would imagine the pipe that leads to the street sewer is sloping down.

    Maybe it's all in the flush, you think?
