You've never repaired a toilet I guess-or depends what part of the world you live-in the US most toilet tanks have that plunger/valve to stop the water after you flush

Different plumbing types and infrastructure.

The American old-fashion tanks which were elevated 4ft on the wall are probably much more efficient and give a high pressure blast.
Not sure why we still don't use those..

Those flapper valves can be cleaned but always leak eventually. Bad design. Not redundant seals.

Now I know why the urgent "No Toilet Paper In Toilet" were there on the wall overseas on vacation.
(I thought it was for water conservation only)

Some countries, such as Greece and Turkey, have very frail plumbing. If you see an wastebasket near the toilet with used toilet paper in it, that's a sign that the sewer system isn't up to snuff. Put your used TP in the wastebasket instead of flushing it. (The rule of thumb in those places: Don't put anything in the toilet unless you've eaten it first.)

Have repaired toilets before and no it is not my dayjob.
Mechanism is a bit different I guess.

The flapper valves are popular mostly because they are super simple to replace. They don't last long and often leak water at a constant rate. But they are really simple to replace and cheap to buy, so they sell a lot of them.

We have a much better system for our toilets at our house.

This spill sat at work for a week. None of the little fragile, entitled Millennial lazy phucs addressed it. Of even fessed up to hitting it and punching a hole in a Steele drum. And here I thought the “Not me ghost” moved out with our youngest son. I think it just relocated to my work. Five years and counting..........tic tock
