- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Every plumber I've spoken with said that "flushable" wipes are 100% bullshit and to never flush them.
This is called anecdotal evidence, and is veridically worthless.
Let's put it this way. TP is okay because it dissolves in water.
Wet wipes are wet. Just get a bidet. Bidet + TP is cheaper AND better than wet wipes anyway, while being basically the same thing.
I'm not putting clean drinking water up my ass unless I'm gonna drink it later
you need brawndo
It's anecdotal because some rando on the internet is saying it. They didn't quote a plumber, they said some plumbers they talked to said a thing. That's worthless.
Kinda funny how you're only applying that logic to that one specific comment.
Expert advice is perfectly relevant but if you prefer you can soak a clean wipe in a bucket and some clean tp in another.
You will shortly prove to yourself why you don't flush wipes
You would know if you had a sceptic system, people with sceptic systems are safe to use them.
It’s not a blanket rule dude.
Yeah I'm gonna go ahead with the multiple professionals who have advised against it over some random person on the Internet, thanks!
Says the random person on the internet giving advise themself? Lmfao. The irony.
Relaying professional advice doesn't really make it my advice, but you have a good day. Have fun arguing with strangers on the Internet, I'm gonna go have some fun.
You never mentioned anything about a professional in your first comment… so no you weren’t sharing professional advice, you were providing your quite uneducated opinion. Sounds like you just didn’t like that you were told wrong by someone and are now lying to safe face.
People are so strange.
I wasn’t arguing, I was providing advice just like you were, you really are a hypocrite and can’t see the irony here can you…? You turned it into an argument after, I can provide proof that they’re sceptic safe, but most people have sewer systems and it’s not gonna be easy to explain the difference to people with your attitude.
If you don’t have a sceptic system, of course thee advice YOU receive will be for your sewer system. A plumber isn’t gonna confuse the average home owner by explaining, that yes, there is actually some systems where you can. They just tell you the blanket rule. But then you go and perpetuate that information, without knowing it’s not a gospel rule.
So no, it’s not a lie, it’s for people with sceptic systems so they know THEY can use them, they aren’t for you lmfao.
It's septic tank not sceptic. I try not to be a dick but you wrote it so many times.
!! lame overused phrase alert !!
