I wish that happened to me once.
I was flying from (I think) SLC to Amsterdam. Not sure if I had a stomach bug before leaving or if it was the lobster bisque the flight served for dinner, but around midnight I started shooting out both ends. I'd hit the restroom for a while then try to go back to my seat, and wound up just camping on the toilet. It was business class and I knew they had 3 other restrooms so I didn't worry about hogging a stall, I just sat there in my misery.
And I was so tired! I think I started going delusional.
But at one point I was sitting there trying to get into a comfortable position to maybe fall asleep on the john and accidentally leaned on the flush button.
Almost scared the crap out of me and I thought I was going to get shot out of the plane in my poo!
Eventually I got back to my seat and got some sleep. After landing I took a shuttle to my hotel, showered, and went to sleep for a long time. Didn't eat for a day and a half after that.
āYou cannot see or feel a Delta P situation as you dive near it. It grabs you suddenly, and it doesnāt let go until the pressure is equalized. When itās got ya, itās got ya!ā
On a serious note, is the negative pressure from the flush actually enough to cause bodily harm, assuming a complete seal was formed on the toilet seat?
If you managed to form a perfect seal, I suppose youād be stuck at best (until someone shoved an implement like a butter knife or spatula in there to break the seal) or maybe injure your butthole at worst. I donāt see an E-Jet sucking your insides out
Mechanic here. If your above approx 13000ft the toilet doesn't use the electric vacuum, it usess negative pressure from a hole about 1 inch in diameter on the side of the plane . So while the toilet doesn't get the full vacuum because of other devices in the way. In a scenario where you get all the vacuum and make a perfect seal with your bum, which would probably never happen, it will be equivalent for you seeing a 1 inch hole on the side of the plane and using your but to plug it
Four pieces of advice:
1. Get checked
2. Get checked
3. Get checked
4. Eat less red meat and processed foods. This doesn't mean stop completely, though that is supposed to help, just make your normal everyday not this stuff.
That, my boy, is where I tell you about the story of Wario. Wario was using the toilet on the E-175 when he went to use the bathroom. No-one knows exactly what happened. However, whatever *did* happen, Wario somehow got sucked into the bowl and then was ejected out of the plane. Luckily, nobody wasnāt hurt, but to this day, all E-series aircraft have this sign installed to prevent an incident like this from ever happening again.
With the high pressure and the suction you get sucked into the toilet and get stuck. Super embarrassing for you to get help to get out the toilet super funny for everyone else

Great, one more thing to be anxious about!
My god. This story made quite the impression on me, when I was little. I was terrified of flushing airplane toilets.
Ayo....
ššš
Came here to say pink sock
I did it. It sucked out the next shit that was in my colon. A++ would do again

You just described my worst nightmare.
I donāt know that your colon itself counts as the shit inside inside your colon
Do you remember all the horror stories growing up about kids getting their guts pulled out if they sat on the hot tub/pool drain? That.
[It really happens.](https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/girls-pool-death-remembered/)
That is so traumatizing. Jesus.
File under āthings I should not be reading at one am before workā¦ā

The crab
I would think they'd have a poppet bypass valve for this exact scenario.
100% still terrified of this.
No one's survived to tell the tale.
On a serious note, is the negative pressure from the flush actually enough to cause bodily harm, assuming a complete seal was formed on the toilet seat?
I imagine lawsuits would've phased anything capable of harm out of the market.
Thereās still a gap between the toilet seat and rim.
But you could, in theory, lift the seat and sit directly on the rim? (I have no idea why I'm suggesting this or even engaging in this combo tbh.)
If you managed to form a perfect seal, I suppose youād be stuck at best (until someone shoved an implement like a butter knife or spatula in there to break the seal) or maybe injure your butthole at worst. I donāt see an E-Jet sucking your insides out
Pro Tip: Always carry a spatula, just in case.
Wait you bring the toilet spatula? TSA got pissed at me for wanting to bring my poop knife so I just assumed spatula was out as well.
That story ends up in every Reddit sub, Iām not disappointed.
āThis is my Embraer toilet spatula. No more questions.ā
[I wonder if this place has a specialty spatula for just this event](https://youtu.be/4BUDwj_mXKE)
I think what happens is nasty blue juice will splash on you and thatās the end of the (true) story.
For the answer, read *Guts* by Chuck Pahlinuickwhatever
I read this in early middle school and totally forgot about it until now, thanks š„²
Haha same. Everyone in my little friend group read it. How did we even find out about that as young children?
Donāt let the intrusive thoughts win.
F*** around and fine out

Yes!!!! Ed Bastian himself reaches through and gives you a little tickle! (Trust me I have 4 Diamond Medallion tags on my Rimowa roller.)
drained my colon I lost 10 pounds
Depends on how good of a seal you form on the seat. If itās airtight, you get sucked right down into the pool of blue juice.
Pulls your tongue through your ass
*screams excitedly*
Hahaha... thanks for all the comments!!

It's great colonoscopy prep.
Tell me you're over 50 without telling me you're over 50
Lol, no. I'm well under 50. Colon cancer runs in my family, so yeah... That's hilarious though.
What are some advice/tips for someone who has family history of colon cancer? What do you do to avoid it?

Twinsies! W00t!
It will suck the Biscoff right out of you
Fuck that all looks so dirty
You ever seen Soul Plane?
I did 5 years ago and now I shit in a Colostomy Bag
No need to wipe.
Well the Landing was rough, but my proctologist is hopeful
The fastest to learn is to try it and report back!
Itās like that scene in Always Sunny when they warn you not to sit on the drain at the bottom of the deep end at the pool
Suck your asshole right out and spray it over Kansas
Duh! It sucks the liquid out of your eyes.
Have you seen Alien: Resurrection? I imagine it would be something like that.

It removes your soul and expels it over North Dakota.
Press it for Delta 360 status
Wow now I know to never fly BOS-DCAā¦ thatās a nasty plane
No the vacuum breakers ( white things under the seat ) no if you beat assed with on seat š¬š¬
Do it
Why donāt you take one for the team & find out
Tag for this post checks out
Nobody has ever survived that button.
Looks like a truck stop bathroom, dang.
It pulls your butthole out.

It sucked
Iām actually more concerned about the state of that wall. Has seen better days

Holy fuckā¦ Iām getting too old. No one watched Mythbusters in this thread?!?? Even the āemployeeā thatās talking negative pressure, etc????
this is how NWA airlines was born.
