Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I wonder because the one I use is made 100% of plant fibers and a couple natural extracts like aloe vera. Is that flushable?

[–] baltakatei@sopuli.xyz 4 points 6 days ago

Is it sold already wet within their packaging?

If it were water soluble, it would have already dissolved before you opened the packaging.

Wooden roof beams are also 100% plant fibers, as are wool sweaters and the sewer system definitely can not handle neither of those.

it's not a double negative. it's repetition for emphasis.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

No.

If it's not human waste or regular toilet paper, it's not flushable.

End.

Sometimes human waste isn’t flushable. Btw where do you keep your poop knife?

Doubtful. I think it's that they dont break down quickly enough and cause clogs.
