What exactly is going on here?

naaaah

Well, is anyone going to talk about the fact that the piping of the toilet is on an uphill incline? You can never flush that toilet.

I notice the wastepipe goes Uphill

I think you meant to say “fugitive WITH the runs!”🤭😜

That toilet is NEVER going to flush properly, it's too far away from a dedicated vent...

I suspect they put it there as a temporary toilet during construction, but didn't bother removing it.

Nope

My basement toilet sits on a platform about 18 inches above the floor.... I was told they got tired of digging when they put in the septic tank, so the pipe goes out the wall, instead of into the floor.

Only an idiot would think that's real or functional. How do you flush a toilet uphill?

That drain pipe goes uphill. Fake......
