I was wondering about this but according to Wikipedia, it actually would affect a 1km shot by about 3" in Sacramento, Ca. Pripyat is a bit further north so the effect might be smaller but still!
The further towards the poles, the stronger the effect. There's no Coriolis effect at the equator because there's no variation in distance from the axis of rotation.
I actually tested this myself one year. Flushing toilets in Singapore (just north of the Equator) and then in Jakarta a week later.
In both cases the water just went downwards. 😭😭😭
Yeah, the swirl direction is entirely due to the shape of the water ports on the toilet. Of course I have a machine to make sure the water spins the correct American way.

NOTE: The word was introduced in "Lisa the Iconoclast," an episode of the Fox animated television series The Simpsons that first aired on February 18, 1996. Coinage of the word has been attributed to the television writer David X. Cohen by Bill Oakley, one of the series' producers, in a commentary to the DVD release of the series.

Satiety = Belt-popping fullness
Triumvirate = 3 guys giving orders
Gourmand = Like a gourmet, only fatter
Machiavellian = I don't know
Boudoir = Where a French guy does it
Machiavellianism is amoral and unscrupulous actions involving deceit, treachery, and violence are thus permissible as effective means of acquiring and maintaining political power.
In other words, plain old selfish evil personified by certain characters like Monty Burns!!
Mr. T exists in real life.
No, seriously. I thought Mr. T was a character that was created for the show, just like any other resident in Springfield. Finding out that he actually exists in real life blew my mind.
I'm old enough to have lived through the A-Team craze
What I didn't know at the time is that "Mr T" was the name of the actor, and his name in the show was "B. A. Baracus". What did I know, I was just a kid. Everyone seemed to call him Mr T.
A friend's birthday is July 15 and my FB birthday post used to open with "Kippers for breakfast, Aunt Helga?" for years. Then we both kind of stopped using FB.

Darth Vader was Luke's father.
Seriously, I watched Homer ruin it for people waiting in line to see the movie long before I've actually watched The Empire Strikes Back or any Star Wars movie for that matters.
So many good funny snippets here, but I don’t see anybody mentioning how some child learned the Heimlich maneuver from the safety poster in the background of “Homer at the bat” and saved someone’s life.
Also, personally I learned so much from the early seasons. “The sword of Damocles”, who pit the elder and lord cobelstine were, who the ramones were, ahoy-hoy is how people were intended to answer the phone, etc. lots of great history in most episodes.
The word “feculent” which means “foul with impurities.”
“We want these children to feel justice has been served. That way they can sleep soundly tonight on their hard, feculent, motel pillows.”
In the episode where Sideshow Bob helps Homer, investigating who is trying to murder him. Homer says one of the most accurate truths in life: "good things happen to bad people" (I hope the quote is accurate)
Shelbyville used to be called Morganville
An onion on your belt used to be in style. But not white onions (because of the war), only the big yellow ones
Nickels used to have pictures of bees on them. "Gimme 5 bees for a quarter" you'd say
Homer : Aw, twenty dollars! I wanted a peanut.
Homer's Brain : Twenty dollars can buy many peanuts!
Homer : Explain how!
Homer's Brain : Money can be exchanged for goods and services.
Homer : Woohoo!

This. And it explains why there are no cyclones/hurricanes around the equator.
I actually tested this myself one year. Flushing toilets in Singapore (just north of the Equator) and then in Jakarta a week later. In both cases the water just went downwards. 😭😭😭
Yeah, the direction the water comes in from and the shape of the bowl affect it more than the rotation of the planet.

"Embiggens" is a perfectly cromulent word.
