>Flush toilet in America
>Somehow changes the temperature in the shower

Can somebody explain what's wrong with American plumbing and why this was a common trope in 90's shows? I even tried doing it to myself by using a stick to turn on the toilet while I was in the shower and it didn't do it.

In lower pressure systems, flushing the toilet pulls all the cold water to refill the cistern. This leaves no cold water to temper the hot water coming out of the shower head.

Anon the only way they can get water pressure is by building a big tower above all their houses for the water to sit in.
Their plumbing is fucked.

One of the more amusing illustrations of this trope is pic related.

I recommend watching videos showing American water tower demolitions. They're very comfy and the demolitions are usually orderly affairs.

Is this the thread? Can any Brazilians here explain what the FUCK is going on with your showers?

In third world countries all water is heated on the spot instead of a centralized location.

Americans live in a cardboard houses Mr. Goldberg sells them at 1000% price. You see houses in Ukraine surviving month of bombing yet their bum shelters gets destroyed by a slight wind or snow.

It's a nonwhite country, it's amazing they have plumbing at all

There is a single pipe running through Americna houses that moves water. Typicaly it heads to the kitchen first, then from the kitchen drain it heads to the shower. The shower drain leads to the bathroom sink. The bathroom since leads to the laundry faucet if you have one. Finally it heads to the bathroom toilet and then out the house.

Interupting any element in the chain causes everything downpipe to change. You know how you Europeans talk about pissing in sinks and Americans literally go insane hearing that? It's because to use you are basically saying you piss on your clothes instead of washing them.

So yeah, if you do visit this country and stay at someone's private home please keep that in mind. We don't usually think about how weird your water situation is, so we don't normally warn you about common sense stuff like hygiene.
