 sorry Linus, it's all about inconsequential shit................

 

"City officials reveal that the city's stream of 230 miilion gallons of raw sewage flowing through the pipes daily is teeming with tens of thousands of flushed wipes. "

 

"While that's good news for wipes sellers, it turns out it's bad news for city officials.  To many consumers, there intuition tells them that the fabric hygiene cloths can be washed down the toiled just like its more traditional fibrous wood pulp cousin, toilet paper.  But that's where consumers are mistaken, according to city sanitation experts."

Solution: Flush acid down the toilet to help dissolve the paper.

Pipes are effected by acid though. It's no immune, they will rust over time.

How about throwing the wipes in some kind of recipient... like a garbage bin. Is like needles you just dont throw them in the trash, you need to properly deposit them in special containers.

edit: in some countries they have to dispose of toilet paper in trash receptacles because their sewage pipe system is too poor

Wet wipes clog everything, sewers, septic, doesn't matter. They aren't meant to be flushed.

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs

It's so weird getting water shot at your ass though. Maybe I'm just too westernized...

"...and 16 percent don't use toilet paper at all, relying solely on wet wipes for their bathroom cleanup."

 

OH MY GOSH.  

 

I'm trying to imagine the cost of me not using cheaper toilet paper and instead using wet wipes.   I'm a heavy wiper.   Oh geez.  

 

Plus, I kinda like a dry butthole.  I'd never do that any way.  Gross.  You 16% are weirdos.

Some pipes are also made of concrete or plastic. Not sure how that would hold up  :P

 

On topic.

When i still had my company i loved the idiots that flushed wipes (And other crap. Found a teddybear once. And a vibrator.. How that made it past the water lock on the toilet i'll never know..)

I'd come out. They'd yell at me because the system wasn't working and stuff was coming back up. And when i cleared it i would find that the tank inlet was clogged with tampons or something like that.

I charged for the hours of troubleshooting when it turned out they had been the idiots. Easy money

I still remember it like it was yesterday.

The husband looked at his wife, the wife shaked her head. And then they both turned to their daughter. She turned a shade of red i never thought was possible before storming up the stairs while yelling "I HATE YOU ALL!".

 

I don't think i stopped laughing until i got home

The title blames Dollar Shave Club for the issue, but that's not fair because their wipes aren't the only ones that clog sewers. It's wipes in general that clog sewers. It would be more appropriate to say "sanitation wipes clog sewers."

What a sensationalist BS title. 

 

You aren't supposed to flush ANY wipe. EVER.
