I don't believe it. If I had my offer smoker would it swirl around though the chamber differently? I don't believe any of it and that it is a long con. Kangaroos aren't real.

The water stands still and everything else spins.

I've heard the International Drainnage Commission in Springfield has been hard at work to answer this question.

Yep. And titty twisters also go in the other direction.

Storms do as well. Coriolis effect.

It does. The reason is the called the coriolis effect.

If they do, its design and not because of the coriolis.

I agree. Don't think they do.

Despite the Coriolis Effect, toilets don’t flush backwards in Australia (or on the other side of the world, or in different hemispheres, or on one side of the equator). The direction of toilet flush has nothing to do with geographic location; it has to do with the shape of the basin.

What happens with toilets on the equator?
No swirl at all?

My apartment in Australia did not spin backwards but a friend of ours did. It’s all about the jet direction.

With that said, fill up a tub or sink and pull the drain and it did spin counter clockwise.

A) Thats the Northern Hemisphere expected spin for a low pressure.

B) Still not enough distance or speed for the coriolis to matter.
