The Coriolist Effect doesn't apply to toilets.

You can make a whirlpool spin any direction.

Of course you can impart force to a liquid to make it spin any way you like. That is completely irrelevant to the discussion.

The Coriolis effect is noticeable when the liquid has no rotational momentum to begin with.

I think they on to something

Which means the 2 images you posted above are false since you still alive

It has an effect, but it's about the same effect as you breathing on the bowl.

It's not the reason why the water turns one way or another. It's the shape of the bowl and direction the water enters which determines the direction.

Actually it's the exact reason why it turns one way or another. And the direction the water enters is generally downward, with no lateral force. Whatever toilet you have been using must have poor craftmanship. But since you're being a prick about this scenario, let's take toilets out of the equation and see you explain why when a completely motionless body of water begins to drain, it develops a whirlpool turning in a direction dependent on which hemisphere it resides in. Also you should probably address why hurricanes and typhoons rotate in opposite directions.

what about the Venera Mission by the UDSSR?

He's not being a prick, he's just right.

You can just test it in your own sink at home. Let it fill, pull the plug, record which way it drains.

You can find in literally every physics textbook that talks about the coriolis effect that it doesn't influence whirlpools.

It does influence winds, because winds (gasses) are less dense than liquids and so can be influenced by much smaller effects.


I'm not just making this up, you can google any number of "coriolis effect myth" articles or any undergrad physics book.



Funny thing is I'm not being a prick at all. I've just made statements of fact.

But he seems like somebody who takes all disagreement as persecution.

Oh well, he also seems young, which means he'll likely grow out of it.
