If you flush a toilet directly on thequator, does the water just drop straight down? If not, which direction is it going to turn?

the equator

wattsup! is exactly right. That is how you know when you are at the equator. At the exact point on the equator, I guess it could go either way it happened to start. Most likely it would just go straight down with no spin.

the position of the toilet relative to the equator does nothing to the flush direction. you could have two different toilets right next to each other and have them flush in different directions. it all depends on how the toilet was manufactured.

I've heard that its all urban legend. Water will spin what ever way it is forced. Toliets have the water release things near the top pointed in a certain direction. I've seen a toliet that just dropped down in northern Europe and in the Middle East.

each and every of the above are incorrect. Harrington's Elizabethan bathroom become worse than ineffective. the honestly inventor of the flush bathroom with ballcock launch become Ernest Bramah in about 1770. He also invented the beer-pull mechanism. sensible guy. Crapper got here later. The association with crap is a twist of destiny. That artwork is lengthy island Dutch slang initially.

It'll turn in the direction the water is injected into the toilet bowl.

The direction that water takes when going down a toilet or any other drain is not affected by where on Earth the drain is located. See this website ==>http://www.badastronomy.com/mad/1996/coriolis.html

I'd guess it would all just move toward the hole at the bottom of the toilet in a uniform way all the way through
