In what the staff here universally agree is our favorite video we've done in a looooong time, we are looking at what exactly happens after you flush the toilet, and why your sanitation workers hate you.

*edit: And seriously everyone, as recommended by the sanitation worker below, just get a bidet. Like $30-$50: amzn.to/2J1Z23m for a toilet seat add on one and ten minutes to install. Pays for itself in saved TP extremely rapidly and you're massively cleaner after. :-)
THAT PENNYWISE JOKE. Thank you lmao dudeeeeeeeeeeeee
Blink twice if you're being held against your will.
@@sweet-beaks Agreed. We're here for you Simon :)
You guys are having way too much fun with poop. Carry on.
Thanks Simon. I actually design the wastewater sewers and pump stations in the USA and have been doing it for over 20 years and never ever ever thought of my poop touching my neighbors poop. I wont be able to unsee this image. Thanks a lot!
My wife and I worked in wastewater treatment in the past and hence being our livelihood, we had a saying that I think you'll appreciate, "It may look like poop to you, but it's bread and butter to us." The look on the person's face as we said this with a straight face, were priceless. 😵
Well with the store shelves being empty right now, that statement may just become true.
Used the same comment working in a hospital laboratory microbiology dept.
Ah, the life of turd farmers...
Awesome 🤣🤣
Going to have to ask my uncle if he's used this lol (he works wastewater treatment)
Civil maintenance tech here: The fact that they are able to be marketed as flushable should be a crime in my opinion, but instead of an obnoxious rant filled with foul detail, I'll simply reiterate that people please do not flush these things and instead place them into the trash. Even better, get a bidet and stop using them entirely.
Normal toilet paper and a dab of moisturiser does the same job and doesn't wreck the system or the environment
Been recommending bidets to everyone, considering recent hysteria. It just makes sense you savages!
Never having been exposed to a bidet. Ahem. I would like to know the exact procedure. Old style bidets are virtually just a bowl of water you apply by hand, others shoot water upwards. Fancy Japanese ones will warm the water. Have pressure settings and blow dry your nether regions. So basic bidet; how do you clean with them, how do you dry, do you teach a one hand method so the whole toilet/sink area isn't contaminated by washing hands afterward? I find it near impossible to successfully teach the kids NOT to touch the flush handle and sink handle with the hand they wipe with. They just naturally use their dominant hand. It's a friggin nightmare.
Ffs i never even thought about getting a bidet. I have Crohns Disease and haven't been able to buy any toilet paper in over 3 weeks. Luckily though, since i have Crohn's, i still have 10 rolls left but that will last me maybe 1 month or until i get a bidet... which ever comes first!
@In Hoc Signo Diliget So's your mom yet here you are
Personal anecdote: After moving to my state, my 1st wife and I stayed with a relative living in a rural area. The day after arriving, the septic tank went south on us. We had to resort to an actual outhouse. Late one night, I got the call and had to use said "house". After ambling to the site with a flashlight, I sat down (sorry if this is too much information...but after watching Simon's floating turds, this is nothing. The real horror is on its way) and placed the flashlight so that it shined up upwards. Waiting for stuff to happen while humming and whistling under my breath I happened to look up...and saw:
A spider condominium. Seriously, I had never seen so many spiders in one place in my life and I moved here from Florida - A net exporter of spiders.
Needless to say, "stuff" happened rather quickly. Forget prune juice...forget dulcolax...a roof full of spiders is the greatest anti-constipation treatment known to man.
LMAO 🤣🤣
Just be glad you didn't look down below the seat!
Spiders love to hang out in the nice warm and humid pit, just waiting for the opportunity to climb up and bite you right on your 'sack. So if there was *that* many spiders nesting up on the roof, you definitely need to be mindfull of the 2x~3x more just waiting down there in the dark...
You're welcome :)
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😭😭😭
Eeeeeeeeeek! I’ve been in an outhouse with a friendly squirrel before but not spiders.
YES!
Immediately clicked! I’m a Civil Engineer and THIS is what I do!
I prove that crap, does, in fact, flow down hill.
Thanks Joe .... people really do give a shit that you do your job!
@@TheFarCobra Here, here! Thanks boys. You do us a solid.
And we return the favor, haha, sorry...
Years ago I worked as a draftsman for a civil engineering firm. One of engineers had a sign in his cubicle: "Your sh!t is our bread and butter. "
This video is dedicated to all those who watch Today I Found Out on the toilet
You mean me!
Today I Pinched Out
Oh i totally just watched this sitting on the toilet! Lol
Sitting on it now, watching...ijs 💩
What sorcery is this?!
that "circle of life" bit broke my cool at work and made laught out loud!!! well done!!
That's the moment I decided I needed to hit that like button. lol
tbh I expected them to sing "it's the circle of shit" isntead lol
There have been a few times that I was sneaking and waiting these videos at work where I have busted out. Luckily I laugh out loud at work fairly often, so nobody notices.
Back in the 60s, before my County had a well developed Sewage System, my Dad had a cesspool pumping Business for a few years. He had me setting up and then cleaning the hoses, etc. We went to the main dumping stations and I saw things first hand. Believe me, its something you'll never forget. All Love and Respect to THE WORKERS!!!
I think you mean septic tank pumping.
@@MinistryOfMagic_DoM probably a Classier and more accurate term! LOL Some calls it a Kaiser Blade....
This is highly relevant to the toilet paper rush we are experiencing. Love it.
I think Simon and crew have a bit of the ole cabin fever.
Stu Squantch, Yeah, Simon had waaaaay too much fun with that one! Should have saved that topic for “Take your kid to work day...” when and if THAT ever happens again!
For real, I was like "Well, they've officially lost it."
"we're all on drugs". I mean, that could explain parts of this episode, such as the 'circle of poo' part
"What Happens After You Flush" - you panic because all the toilet paper is gone. All of it.
You can get a cheap bidet for $60 (or super cheap one for $10 but thats basically just a hand held squirt bottle)
at my house......you watch that last chunk of paper slowly swirl around and around and around never going down.....
I bought one 12 pack just before the panic. 12000 sheets at 40 or less per day will last me at least 10 months. No need to buy any more.
If I pinched such a legendarily huge loaf as to clog an entire sewage system. Im gonna need a plaque or something cause thats incredible. 😂
I once set off the smoke detector in an airport bathroom with a fart. I got nothing.
@@Seektheday Are you sure it wasn't a toxic gas detector?
I regularly drop a yard per session and no rewards yet.😕
@@yargnad its probably more about girth than length
Big, huh? How many Couric's?
I love how childish Simon's sense of humour is hahaha
You say childish, I say British!
This is more like Today I found Out on Business Blaze, Simon is slowly merging the channels.
im all in for that
Consolidating the power
I do wonder if Danny wrote this script, not realizing what channel he was writing for. It can be difficult to keep track of all of Simon's channels these days. ❤
I can't even count how many channels he's working with now... I fear I'm missing out on another of his interesting videos on the other channels I haven't subscribed yet.
Some simplification would sure help...
Is anyone else waiting for Simon to smack a Today I Found Out script?
Definitely.
One day it'll happen. One day...
Ba dum dum tiss!
Having been a plumber for almost 20 years, this video hits way too close to home.
Yuck, I feel sorry for you. A good shower should help.
We really need a 10hr loop for certain folks hearing Simon say "Don't be a savage" over and over.
Could be ASMR for some crazy folks
Ringtone for my mother.
“Poop touching, Hot Chocolate, We’re all on drugs”..... all here today on Today I Found Out !!!
You forgot, "it's technically flushable but so is a cat."
What about a goldfish?
Today I found out that Simons daughter flushed her doll down the toilet and forced him to call the plumber.
He decided to do a video to help him with the expenses.
Tax deduction making a tax deduction. Such symmetry.
@George Costarica wtf. Even if that were true (I highly doubt it) who gives a shit? I couldn't care less what he does off camera, he's still one of the better narrators on YT.
Simon's daughter is barely 2 months old she can't even reach the toilet yet
Callie Thompson - I was going to say, I thought she was just born? Maybe he has a stepdaughter or a niece that he’s never mentioned
@@fvckyoutubescensorshipandt2718 it's a joke. Get over it.
OMG! This was, by far, my favorite video you've put out! When Simon sang about "the circle of life", I lost it! Sooooo f**kin' funny! And, I can honestly say that I learned something. Smashing!
For the record.... I'm enjoying these occasional, More comedic feeling vids.
Keep them coming, I'll keep watching!!!!
👱🏻♀️✌🏻
You need to watch business Blaze!
Why is giving birth so excruciating? Why doesn't the body numb itself or something? Do animals feel pain when giving birth? I'd love to see a video on that.
My half Cherokee grandmother claims she felt no pain when giving birth to her 4 kids. I guess it's a thing with Cherokee women...
Humans' hips aren't well-made for it, for one. Mum'd go on a midwife-fueled rant here, but I can't remember it.
I had a home birth, and I was able to move around. Started having pain? I'd move until it was gone, and in doing so, helped my baby move down more. I had one bad cramp that felt like a period cramp, and slept a few hours. I was surprised to find out I was fully dilated. Now things started sucking when my daughter moved chin-first, but otherwise, it was fine until them. Making women lay down works against our bodies.
I suspect the excruciating part may have something to do with stretching--at least in some women.
6:50 Can’t get rid of Pennywise, he Floats! 🎈 🎈
They all float... 😁😁
@@johnw2026 down here
3:00 I can say that is Starlight Glimmer as my niece has corrected me before.
I'm glad someone else pointed that out. Now I don't have to.
@@brianchristyb I too am glad of this.
When I saw him referring to that Starlight Glimmer figure as Twilight Sparkle a small part of Ponyville died in my soul. How can I trust anything he says in any of these videos now?
Sure. Your "niece."
Was just going to let it go... but yeah. my inner brony did an eye twitch.
Thanks Simon and crew, I think we all needed the laughs.👍
You’re informative, educational, entertaining as all heck. Thank you for your labors, It certainly shows in each and everyone of your postings. Thank you!
Lmao found this jem durring my morning bowel movement...talk about timing
I am in the same position.
I almost felt like i should throw a wake or say a few words as I flushed.
rest in poop
I live in the Tampa Bay area and the Clearwater sewage treatment plant is right on the North side of the 49th street bridge. This is the bridge going over Old Tampa Bay and next to wayside park/beach on Courtney Campbell causeway. Or as it's referred to in the area, the Redneck Riviera.
When heading northbound on the bridge, you can see the water being expelled from the plant surging up towards the surface on the east side of the bridge.
Everybody swims there, and lots of people fish and crab there, including myself.
I have caught cobia, sand and speckled trout, Spanish mackerel, as well as many other saltwater species that are sensitive to pollution.
I have even caught sea horses in my cast nets, while I was catching bait. So I guess what they expel is pretty clean.
Good job, boys! Three cheers for the turd herders!
When the whole morning John our poops touched happened did anyone else get an advert singing "and it feels so good"? 😂 I thought it wss part of the video haaaaaaahhahahhaha
I feel like his business blaze side is showing now
^^ This.
I thought it is 1st of April for a moment when I read the title so I checked the calendar and I realized this video is serious.
I just realized, we'll soon be going through this awful global ordeal, with April fools stuff. Thst could get really ... yeah. Gonna be a lot of TP stuff I guess.
Thank God for Simon answering life's big questions. 😘 Sorry had to tease. Love your shows!!!
This one had some Business Blaze flare to it!
Yeah, I'm surprised it wasn't posted to that channel.
I love the outtakes you guys leave in the videos. The are an absolute highlight.
That "old paper" filter makes the toilets depicted look really filthy.
Good video though.
Edit: South Park actually made a "Circle of poo" parody song. Look it up, it's hilarious.
Loving the new energy with the videos.
Your Squarespace adspot is so convincing I found myself contemplating a website for myself, then I remembered I have absolutely no need for one.. But you make me wish I did
the most entertaining episode love to see the outtake and bloopers
Thank you guys for still going xxx
Even though I was aware of this process and abide by the rules of toilet disposal etiquette to have Simon review it and comment was a priceless experience thank you so much.
Yes, it's also one of my favorite videos from you guys lmao
great video I was laughing the entire time I love Simon's sarcastic humor.
lmao i couldn't help but burst out laughing at "That sounds like THE WORST POND EVER" lol great video!
Simon, this is the very first, and possibly only, presentation of this topic I can honestly say is just delightfully funny! As I live in a rural area we have an aerobic septic system that averages being pumped out about every 10 years and due to the current overbuying, we are looking into bidets to lengthen that 10 year period. Your video on bidets vs toilet paper had a great deal to do with this decision.
Love this episode! :-D
Spotted the title and said F it its about where my Brain is at at the minute
5:10. Never flush your cat. After a few minutes, she'll clean herself and be ready for another wiping!
My God, you just solved the toilet paper shortage. ;-) -Daven
This vid had me in stitches. Who knew this subject could be so hilarious.
I worked in sanitation and we regularly had to clean out this pump station becuase someone or someone's cat would regularly put yarn, yarn cutting or use yarn used for wiping. It's something I still wonder about. Probably a crotchety potty routine.
Adding your personal humour to this video made it better. Keep it coming 👍😃
We need more like this.
This is a beautiful episode
government: no social gatherings
me: tell that to the sewer in out street
Simon: JOHN stop shitting at the same time as me our POO's are touching
This has been a throughly enjoyable edition... surprisingly.
Love it when videos break Simon 😂
The Hyperion sewage treatment plant runs on the methane gas generated by the process, and sells the excess gas to the Scattergood power plant (next door). I know about this because my Landlord back in the late 1960s was the Daimler Diesel mechanic that came with the HUGE engines and told me all about it. The engines started with regular diesel and the transitioned to Methane once they were warmed up.
Loved the video and the bloopers. It was some good crappy fun.
Guys, really thanks for the laughs. It makes life so much more bearable. 😂
Omg. 😂😂😂 I love Simon. ❤️😂😂😂😂😂 And the subtitles/cc is hilarious. You do you. 🤣🤣
I really love plague time Simon, you can really see him starting to crack. 10/10 very relatable.
Given my name is John, I feel obliged to say "Morning, Simon, they sure did!"
XD
Simon was on his game this one. The circle of life thing still has me laughing
2 am and Of course I am watching about what happens to our turds 😬😂😂 so many laughs...gold
Morning John our poos touched! Immediately went to an ad. 😂😂
"I'm sorry, sir, I could have sworn your septic tank was in the front yard."--The Grass Is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank by Erma Bombeck
Damn, Simon. You were absolutely savage on this video! XD
"Morning John! Our poohs touched"! You slay me Simon!!
I knew this episode was going to be gold right from the beginning, when I saw the "begone turds!" image on the screen... And it didn't disappoint. The circle of life bit, the "sanitation workers are tired of dealing with your crap and just was to deal with your shit" part, and the best part: "Thank you sanitation workers....I'm going to take a ...."
My septic system has to be emptied once every 5 years. I have a leech field as well
We have a 'leech' field around here too. It's called 'Washington D.C.'
Wow it’s crazy how so much work goes into this
I’ve never seen a grown man laugh so much over poop jokes. 10/10
For those not in the know, the truck that comes to drain a septic tank has a wonderful euphemism to keep its function sounding nice.
I grew up in a house that used a septic tank. You knew exactly where the tank was in the front yard, it had the greenest grass in the whole yard. About 10 years after moving into the house a truck came to the house, two guys dug up a small part of the lawn above the tank and opened it. Wow, what a smell. My parents had hired the truck to come a drain the tank. When I told my mom that a truck had pulled up in front of the house she said something I'll never forget.
"Oh, the honey wagon is here. Go tell your father."
Honey wagon. My first thought was that we bought our honey at the grocery store, we never had a truck deliver it. That's when they two guys started opening 'the gates of hell' in the front yard.
Well done Simon! Very well done indeed!
Best episode everrr!
You said, and I quote: "Morning John, our poops touched."
And you call Business Blaze your "casual channel."
10/10
I have always wondered what is the speed of water in sewers and, how long does it take for what you have flushed to reach the waste water processing plant?
7:38 The workers are tired of dealing with your crap and only want to deal with your 💩 I Fucking died at this joke 🤣😂. Aaaaand *thank you* for spreading the word NOT TO FLUSH ANYTHING BUT TOILET PAPER AND BODILY WASTE. Seriously. What an understated lesson. It would kill me going out to a house party in college and having to go to the bathroom only to see there’s no trash can. As a female this would make things complicated to say the least 😩😳💀 Or living in an old NYC apartment building...staying with friends at an Airbnb with one or two bathrooms...ineffective plumbing is so fickle and so many of us have endured great shame because the person before us flushed something ungodly like paper towels or condoms or worse. If you read this I hope your year is free from bathroom related embarrassment 👌
Expertly done. Bravo.
I feel like its a strange coincidence to find this video while on the toilet
This video had me rolling with laughter
I love the more humorous format. Keep it up.
I used to do a lot of work in WWTPs as a contractor. In one facility I used to work in from time to time, one of the operators carried a pouch in his pocket full of diamonds he had collected over the years in the grit chamber. He also had rolls of money he kept in his desk that he had fished out of the feed in head works or the fruit chamber.
4 years ago, my neighbor (duplex) had to call a plumber. Plumber fixed his issue but found, through the use of a camera, that our shared sewer pipe only had about two years life left in it. He said for the two of us to prepare for our subfloor to be torn up and be without plumbing for a week, or so. That was FOUR years ago!
*reads title* Oh I know, I remember getting a tour as a kid and they handed out a comic book of a raindrop that went through the journey!
*still watches the video*
We need an episode where Simon reads all drunk!!! :D 😂😂😂
"Begone, turds!" 😂🤣 best graphic ever
Having studied this for many years, I can say thank you for bringing it up. And I should probably do a video on water treatment, be it potable or no, but nope. There are so many people who are more knowledgeable than I.
Thank you Simon for teaching what happens after I push that valve when I'm finished watching a TIFO video :P To be fair I do watch all the Business Blaze videos at my desk on my computer... this video felt very Business Blazey by the way... I love it
I love how much ramble as of late. It’s nice. Human. And like you seem more approachable
Rare form today, Simon! Very informative and entertaining. My inner 10 year-old thoroughly enjoyed it 😆
That pipe water animation is hypnotic. I keep trying to figure out if there's a pattern.
Oh boy Simon youre losing it fast lol. Love it
Hmm, chances of somebody stumbling upon my random squarespace site versus chances of somebody watching youtube video.
Back when I used to pay for sewer service, I sure as hell didn't feel "sorry" for anybody at the wastewater plant and any foreign matter that would fit through the pipe got flushed. That's what my $64 minimum (goes up with more usage) monthly sewer bill would take care of. The guys that work in the poo are well paid. Where I live now I love having a well and a septic system, all one big circle cut off from the rest of the world...and it cost almost nothing to use. I know the local septic guy who pumps the tanks among other things, he's very happy with his job and earns a nice income for the area. It's in his best interest for you to flush things you shouldn't, because he gets paid to pump them out. His big shiny poo truck is probably one of the cleanest trucks around!
I lost it at the pony and the log going down the pipe!!! I have a pony obsessed daughter....🤣🤣🤣🤣💩💩💩😲👍🏻
The effort to keep this monetized was tremendous
No one has finished this video yet so only Simon knows its contents rn
I really like the casual, humorous bits thrown in here! Much more like Business Blaze, which IMO is an improvement.
Turning on closed captioning is HILARIOUS.
Simon self quarantine is making you very funny you are hilarious I love this from you I have never seen you laugh this hard!!!!!! This is GREAT 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣!!!!
THANKS FOR THE LAUGHS!! STAY HEALTHY FRIEND ALWAYS YOUR #1 "FAN"
