Good advice for a kid who's moving out on their own for the first time: buy a plunger before you need one.

And a toilet plunger, not a sink plunger. Well, I mean having both is handy but you know what I mean. Learn the difference.
Also, know where the shutoff valve for the toilet is. I keep mine barely open to both prevent scalding someone taking a shower and also so I can turn it off quickly to prevent an overflow.
The hero we need but not the one we deserve
Squirrel has sloppy technique, but I think they're attempting a Masenko-Ha.
Advice from Piccolo:
DODGE!
reach behind it and turn the water off when that happens then get the plunger and unclog it
I’ve never watched it, but I know what the fans call it.
Fans? Getting ATLA from Avatar: The Last Airbender isn't exactly difficult or some secretive trick lol
I've always been curious if this is a poor infrastructure country thing or obease person thing. I've never in my life experienced it, no one I know have said it happened to them. I've only seen it happen in american movies or seen people talking about it online.
Also, never owned a plunger, don't know anyone who does.
Can someone enlighten me on this?
I think it's moreso the quality of the toilet that determines if it gets clogged. It could be something about American toilets that makes them susceptible or something about your place's toilets that makes them immune.
My toilet did it just today, Germany. However it is built so that the bowl cannot be overflown be the content of the cistern. After filling to the half, it always went back down by its own though. Although I always have my poop knife with me in case things really go wrong.
I am not obese and I don't think we have poor infrastructure in Germany. I mean yes we have but the water infrastructure is fine somehow.
