common misconception! Thomas Crapper didn’t invent the flush toilet. it was actually patented by Alexander Cumming. what Crapper invented was the floating ballcock.
perjuryfan replies:
dude i just looked up that cumming toilet crapper ballcock thing they were talking about, that’s true. that’s like 100 percent- everything they said was true. the ballcock is real and it was patented by crapper, it’s the ball inside the toilet that floats with the water

I dunno, it’s also kinda dunny to see fact checker bot dumping article links confirming that crapper and cumming were involved with the creation of the toilet ballcock.
cumming toilet
D-Don’t call it that…
Eh, I’ve been called worse 🤷
The toilet is cumming from crapping the ballcock
Wait till you learn the parts of a burette!
