Once it gets soggy enough, it breaks up and passes through. But it slows down enough that your floaty gassy shits stay on top of the toilet bowl along with your splattery shart-ridden asswipes

Damn nigger, how much paper did you use?
I've always flushed toilet paper in thirdie countries where they tell you not to (sorry not sorry, I'm not going to throw my poo paper in the poo paper bin like a savage) and literally never had an issue

the average IST layover experience:
>plane arrives at some retarded hour in the middle of the night
>immediately get trampled by people rushing to make their connections
>skip the first two bathrooms you see because they're sausagefests of a dozen people waiting to use one of the three stalls to shit in
>walk across the entire airport to find a bathroom to piss in peace and have personal space
>almost get hit by golf cart on the way there
>right as you're about to relax in the stall, someone inevitably comes into the bathroom to make the most demonic fucking noises to spit out their phlegm in the sink
>leave to charge phone and people watch for a while
>almost get hit by golf cart
>accidentally make awkward eye contact with one of the countless security guards wandering around with MP5s
>get bored and go into the city
>have to take a bus because the train route is long and tedious with multiple transfers
>get stuck in traffic in a bus while everyone inside is talking loud as fuck on their phones
>get off bus
>city is completely overcrowded and reeks of cigarettes, diesel fumes, piss, cheap cologne, and street food
>aimlessly wander around while shooing off touts the entire time
>get borderline sick and go back to the airport early
>departures area looks life a refugee camp because of all the people sleeping there overnight
>go through security twice just to get airside >walk past the gaudy luxury shops and buy one cheap croissant to avoid starving to death
>walk to the most secluded sections of the airport to charge phone in peace
>security guards kick you out until your gate finally opens
>gate changes from the one in the email to some random gate on the complete other side of the airport
>almost get hit by golf cart
>almost get hit by segway
>almost get hit by e-scooter
>go through security AGAIN at the gate
>plane takes off late

Basically, no different from flying through any other megacity airport.

Next time I stop over in IST I'm gonna stay in Arnavutköy, an exurb at the far end of the airport metro line (going away from the city, not towards it). The budget hotels there have good reviews, much better than in Istanbul proper. Yeah it's modern and kinda soulless, but who cares. There's some little roads that go off into forested hills on the edge of town too (picrel). Would be cool to check out some Turkish nature.
