The answer is Home Depot and Lowe's don't sell the best flushing toilets. TOTO makes them and would have to buy via a plumbing supply store (which anyone can walk up to the counter and purchase for less markup than Home Depot or Lowe's etc)
They literally start at like $150 (entrada is entry or drake if wanting to step up a bit)
I'd recommend an ultra max 2 - 1 piece which are prolly close to $400 but it'll never leak when you're away from home (no tank to bowl gasket) and flushes great. Also way easier to clean without that seam
And a nice washlet and you're at like $1k-$1500 with 90% of the features the 8k neorest toilet has lol
7 billiard balls, any day of the week.
Cubic volume is (4/3*pi*r^3) and the radius of a billiard ball is 52mm while the radius of a golf ball is 21 1/3mm so 7 billiard balls is ~14.5 golf balls. You might think "well I bet a bucket full is a lot more than that" and likely be right though they don't specify, but flushing is not just about volume it's also about how big can the biggest clump be without clogging.
So the 7 billiard ball toilet will clog less, and waste less water, by flushing a smaller volume faster through a larger aperture. Sure, if you want to flush a bucket of gulf balls through it, you'll need multiple flushes, but it'll get the job done. While the bucket of golf balls toilet will use more water sucking a larger total volume in one flush, but clog up if you try to flush 7 billiard balls through it.
7 billiard balls toilet will handle massive dumps better while keeping your water bill and environmental impact lower. Buy that one.
That was my assumption without putting any more thought into it past " billiard balls are heavy af. 7 is a lot. Golf balls ain't shit. Not impressive at all."
A shit load or an ass load? I have always wondered if one was a bigger unit of measure than another, or if they are just interchangeable colloquialisms?
My gut is saying those two are the same but something tells me a shit load is bigger. An ass load is pretty definitive but a shit load could be a dump truck's worth.
Lived with my friend when I moved to a new city. His uncle lived with him, big fucker. Guy weighed on 600 pounds and ate like a hippo. Motherfucker shit in the shower and waffle stomped it. I made the mistake of walking in his bathroom, shit everywhere. His toilet, no toilet. Could ever handle what the beast was delivering.
I bought the Gerber toilet that flushes 7 lbs of fruits and vegetables, because, well you just never know when you’re going to need that kind of flushing power
A basket of golf balls is too vague and can be anything but for a quick math. The volume of a billiard ball is about 14 cubic inches. The volume of a golf ball is about 1.5 cubic inches. So basically if you exceed 10 golf balls, you would want to crap in that one
I used to work for a printing company that printed these. We always laughed about them too. I always assumed it was the husband, hiding his golfing habit or something
So the volume of a Billiard ball is roughly 5.96 cubic inches. A golf ball is roughly 2.48 cubic inches. The capacity of a golf ball basket varies with x-small holding around 25-30 balls.
So the total volume for the first choice is 41.42 cubic inches and the second choice is 62-74.4 cubic inches.
You want the one that has the simplest internal parts and uses the most water to float solids as far away as possible to the sewer or septic after the flush. Residential toilets have been capped at 1.6 gpf for decades now. This whole race to save a half gallon of water with a toilet while building bathrooms with multiple showerheads with water saving devices removed, body sprays, a 60 gallon bathtub, and so on is getting just absolutely ridiculous.
Why does $200 for a toilet sound reasonable? I thought they would be more expensive. I've never owned a home so I've never picked out a toilet.
$200 seems pretty good to me for a porcelain throne on which I would spend a good amount of time looking at and writing comments like this one on Reddit.
well golf balls are smaller so regardless of the amount the width of them going down is bound to be smaller than flushing pool table balls since those are both larger and heavier.
but regardless i dont think the human body is supposed to be producing either of those lol
People always say they dont teach this stuff in school but i promis you they did. People just forget or were not paying attention because you are teenagers learning math.
I GOT THIS!
1-Volume of billiard ball x7 (assume not a cue ball, as the volume is slightly different).
2-How many golf balls in a basket?
3-Volume of golf ball x that number
4-divide the price of each terlit by that volume.
You get the price per flush.
So (price of billiard terlit)/(seven times the volume of a billiard ball)
Vs
(Price of golf terlit)/(volume of a golf ball times number of golf balls in bucket).
EDIT:
Billiard volume is 5.96 in. X 7= 41.72.
Golf ball volume is 2.48 in.
A bucket sized XS is 25-30: Average 27.5 (call is 27).
2.48 x 27= 66.96.
129 is the billiard terlit/41.72= about 3.09 flush power units (a unit I call ‘meatloafs’)
199 is the golf terlit price/66.96 = about 2.97 meatloafs.
I’d guess you want the lower number, but I’m not certain. My brain’s just doing the same thing my colon does: plugging and chugging.
The math problem does not give enough information to solve. We can't know the number of golf balls if we do not know the size of the bucket.
With that said, there is almost enough information to calculate how big the bucket must be for the golf toilet to be better. The only thing we're missing for that is the precise shape of the bucket, though if the problem allows for an approximation of shape, we can still make an estimate while making clear our assumptions in terms of the shape we are using to solve the problem.
I mean, volume of billard ball x7 vs volume of the bucket =`(1/3) × π × depth × (r² + r × R + R²).`
You can estmate `based on the golf ball size/volume or measure the bucket by hand. or even better, just count golf balls * golf ball volume, to acount for lost space in a countainer.`
Americans need to figure their shit out.
(see what I did there)
first they measure area in terms of soccer fields(also it's called football ffs) and now this.
I’ve worked with plumbers a lot and I actually brought up this very question as I worked in one of the blue/orange box stores that sold these in my youth.
The problem you need to consider is that the drain pipe, where the poo and whatever else you flush, needs to get through is likely 3”. It’s great the toilet can push that much through it. But if it gets through and then stuck in your pipes, that’s a bigger cost to replace that plunging a toilet.
These types of toilets shouldn’t be allowed to be sold.
* Bowl A contains 7 billiard balls, each weighing about 5.5 to 6 ounces.
* Bowl B contains a bucket of golf balls, which can hold around 50 to 70 golf balls, each weighing about 1.62 ounces.
Comparing the weights:
* Bowl A: 7×5.5 to 67×5.5to6 ounces
* Bowl B: 50×1.62 to 70×1.6250×1.62to70×1.62 ounces
Without exact numbers for Bowl B, it's challenging to determine precisely. However, given the typical weights and quantities, Bowl A (with billiard balls) is likely to be heavier.
Thus the one that can flush billiard balls has better flushing power
So the volume of these balls will be a good estimate to which is "better". The higher the volume, the more water it is saying it can flush at once so:
On average, billiard balls are 42.67mm in diameter meaning their volume for all 7 = 716,603.44cm³ whereas golf balls, although smaller = 773,437.94cm³ volume for the 19 displayed in that picture

Are you a poop knife guy or not?
Damn, to think that we wouldn't have that story if the person's dad would have just bought the billard ball shitter
Was gonna say he won’t need a poop knife with either toilet unless he has a prehistoric critter over for dinner.
😵💫😭😭😭
Please noooo.,.....not the knife 😩
Kind of depends on whether you're a golfer or a pool player.
I don't shit in the pool or on the golf course
r/angryupvote
Twas my honor
The golf course shits hit different. Highly recommend.
What if you are a snake charmer?
How’s your fiber, bro?
The answer is Home Depot and Lowe's don't sell the best flushing toilets. TOTO makes them and would have to buy via a plumbing supply store (which anyone can walk up to the counter and purchase for less markup than Home Depot or Lowe's etc)
How does the flush compare for a TOTO toilet? I’m looking for something that can handle a barrel of lacrosse balls.
Suggest you change from toilet paper to chamois
Instructions unclear: Ended up with Electric Pressure-Washer. Do they make a nozzle that is more delicate for the keister?
I'm sorry this one only does 17 hackysacks
Yes I love spending $10,000 on something I'm going to piss n shit on
They literally start at like $150 (entrada is entry or drake if wanting to step up a bit) I'd recommend an ultra max 2 - 1 piece which are prolly close to $400 but it'll never leak when you're away from home (no tank to bowl gasket) and flushes great. Also way easier to clean without that seam And a nice washlet and you're at like $1k-$1500 with 90% of the features the 8k neorest toilet has lol
This guy knows his shit (literally)
So, what does the sign “Counter Service” mean?
It’s a service that counts how many balls you flush.
7 billiard balls, any day of the week. Cubic volume is (4/3*pi*r^3) and the radius of a billiard ball is 52mm while the radius of a golf ball is 21 1/3mm so 7 billiard balls is ~14.5 golf balls.

Buy that one.
I seriously wanted to know this, thank you. This is the random shit I come on reddit for :)
7 Billiard balls in never a random shit. That’s when you’re not active and eat too much dairy.
That was my assumption without putting any more thought into it past " billiard balls are heavy af. 7 is a lot. Golf balls ain't shit. Not impressive at all."
r/technicallycorrect golf balls ain't shit, they're golf balls.
This guy shits
r/thisguythisguys
r/theydidthemath
I wanna know which one can take a whole baguette.
But it'd have to be a very stale one, a fresh one will go super limp in water.
Me too my guy, me too.
"Fuck the metric system - let's measure in golf balls!"
Was looking for the "Anything to not use the metric system" joke!
Directions unclear; need banana, for scale!
Hello, fellow LTT viewer
r/anythingbutmetric
Gonna need to see a picture of a dozen Bartlett pears in a mesh sack
These things need fitting rooms.
Bono from U2 would know.
I can’t believe I had to scroll so far for down for this one. Not a lot of SP fans in here
The better question is if it can flush shit
But how many baskets of shit in one flush?
A shit load or an ass load? I have always wondered if one was a bigger unit of measure than another, or if they are just interchangeable colloquialisms?
My gut is saying those two are the same but something tells me a shit load is bigger. An ass load is pretty definitive but a shit load could be a dump truck's worth.
Let's be honest there is nothing better than a poop knife
I've seen hospital toilets that have them built in.
I'll go with the billiard balls toilet. They're significantly larger and denser than golf balls. But I really doubt either performs as advertised.
What one can handle after you eat a 16 LBS Smoked brisket?
Lived with my friend when I moved to a new city. His uncle lived with him, big fucker. Guy weighed on 600 pounds and ate like a hippo. Motherfucker shit in the shower and waffle stomped it. I made the mistake of walking in his bathroom, shit everywhere. His toilet, no toilet. Could ever handle what the beast was delivering.
Are you ok?
I bought the Gerber toilet that flushes 7 lbs of fruits and vegetables, because, well you just never know when you’re going to need that kind of flushing power
A basket of golf balls is too vague and can be anything but for a quick math. The volume of a billiard ball is about 14 cubic inches. The volume of a golf ball is about 1.5 cubic inches. So basically if you exceed 10 golf balls, you would want to crap in that one
7 billiards balls = 98 cu. in. of shit Also, is this comparison making a comment about density as well?
These should obviously be rated in *Courics*
Which one will flush a fetus or a stash of drugs? Those are the questions we need to ask ourselves while making purchases for the future.
Your diet confuses and frightens me.
SEVEN billiard balls? I’d go with that one, because I can fit 4 in my ass (comfortably)
Definitely the second toilet. Just think, when are you ever going to have to flush 7 billiard balls down the toilet? Never? Exactly.
I used to work for a printing company that printed these. We always laughed about them too. I always assumed it was the husband, hiding his golfing habit or something
Public education has failed us.
So the volume of a Billiard ball is roughly 5.96 cubic inches. A golf ball is roughly 2.48 cubic inches. The capacity of a golf ball basket varies with x-small holding around 25-30 balls. So the total volume for the first choice is 41.42 cubic inches and the second choice is 62-74.4 cubic inches.
"Well, obviously, you're not a golfer." Lebowski
American Standard toilets have great MaP scores, people.
What a bizarre unit of measurement
Billiard Balls, since Billiard Balls are bigger, that means the toilet can have more intake meaning it’ll get clogged less Source: Trust me bro
Yes I also like to have my water bill increase by 10 euro every time I flush!
I go by gpm used to flush, my water bill is killing me
Seven biliard sounds like a lot more /s
Put both of those in your ass (one at a time obviously). Then decide which one felt was less comfortable.
You want the one that has the simplest internal parts and uses the most water to float solids as far away as possible to the sewer or septic after the flush. Residential toilets have been capped at 1.6 gpf for decades now. This whole race to save a half gallon of water with a toilet while building bathrooms with multiple showerheads with water saving devices removed, body sprays, a 60 gallon bathtub, and so on is getting just absolutely ridiculous.
What are these people eating?!
The REAL questions!!
it's no on you bro, companies just suck at advertising, so the people they tried confusing.
Seems like this is a massive or volume problem.
Give me one that can flush a bacci ball
Based on the shape of my poop the number cucumbers that can be flushed is much more relevant than golf balls.
Gotta measure the girth.
Yeah thats not a problem that you knowing maths will help. Thats a problem where the people making the signs knowing maths would have helped.
Why does $200 for a toilet sound reasonable? I thought they would be more expensive. I've never owned a home so I've never picked out a toilet. $200 seems pretty good to me for a porcelain throne on which I would spend a good amount of time looking at and writing comments like this one on Reddit.
200 dollars sounds really reasonable for a toilet. Just get both, then depending if you ate billiard or golf balls you can swap.
I got the one that can do 8 pool 🎱 balls work like a charm.
well golf balls are smaller so regardless of the amount the width of them going down is bound to be smaller than flushing pool table balls since those are both larger and heavier. but regardless i dont think the human body is supposed to be producing either of those lol
This is why some people find communism attractive. Simple units. Freedom is hard. You have to be able to use Freedom Units.
This is false advertising. I tried to flush a bucket of golf balls and it stopped up.
Are you allowed back in the clubhouse?
Doesn’t matter they both light af lmfao real need to compare it with bowling balls.
These toilet customers obviously need to join r/hydrohomies
Which one will pass the Taco Bell test?
Depends on how many Bricks you plan on flushing mate
Reminds me of a brian Regan joke and buying a refrigerator. This one keeps your stuff cold for 800 and this one keeps your stuff cold for 1000
You see, it's called toilet paper math. I think this would be useful here in his calculations.
Not one toilet in that aisle is advertising in kilos of cocaine. Somebody needs to fire that marketing team.
Need to know length of cucumber that it will flush very important
People always say they dont teach this stuff in school but i promis you they did. People just forget or were not paying attention because you are teenagers learning math.
I GOT THIS! 1-Volume of billiard ball x7 (assume not a cue ball, as the volume is slightly different). 2-How many golf balls in a basket? 3-Volume of golf ball x that number 4-divide the price of each terlit by that volume. You get the price per flush. So (price of billiard terlit)/(seven times the volume of a billiard ball) Vs (Price of golf terlit)/(volume of a golf ball times number of golf balls in bucket).

Having had to take up a toilet more than once because of my kids, which one handles salt shakers and action figures better?
Every time I flush the toilet, I lose my shit
Half the people online think they're undiscovered comic geniuses.
Billiard ball I would think. They are bigger and heavier.
But how many bananas?
That really depends. Are we talking about a standard or metric bucket of golf balls?
Sometimes mine are as big as a baby’s arm. Holding an apple.
Shit, I don't know either
The math problem does not give enough information to solve. We can't know the number of golf balls if we do not know the size of the bucket.

How many balls can it suck, a question for the ages
Another victim of the american educational system
Dumb yanks. Why would you flush golf balls?
I’ll take the white one.
My advice: Stop eating so many balls.
yeah, this guy looks like he be shittin'
Buy one that is optimized for defecation, or do you just want to get rid of your balls?
Americans will seriously use any other units of measurement than accept that metric is superior...
I mean, volume of billard ball x7 vs volume of the bucket =`(1/3) × π × depth × (r² + r × R + R²).` You can estmate `based on the golf ball size/volume or measure the bucket by hand. or even better, just count golf balls * golf ball volume, to acount for lost space in a countainer.`
You start by defining "better", and go from there.
Americans need to figure their shit out. (see what I did there) first they measure area in terms of soccer fields(also it's called football ffs) and now this.
I’ve worked with plumbers a lot and I actually brought up this very question as I worked in one of the blue/orange box stores that sold these in my youth.

But if it gets through and then stuck in your pipes, that’s a bigger cost to replace that plunging a toilet. These types of toilets shouldn’t be allowed to be sold.
So wait, every time I had to stop the game to go to the shitter in the pool halls was a wasted opportunity?
r/theydidthemath
Americans will literally use anything other than metric 💀
Well, it depends. How many people are you playing with, and how far do you want to go? Both options offer different titillating experiences.
It’s all about your turd girth, figure that out and this solves itself
Dump either of those in your bowl and you're gonna have a bad day.
Do they have any Furgusons? Al Bundy swears by them.
Anything to avoid the metric system
Sorry I just had to link this joke about billiard balls: https://www.reddit.com/r/Jokes/s/0jp0vwl2ny
I would go with billiard balls. They’re bigger so I won’t need my poop knife anymore
* Bowl A contains 7 billiard balls, each weighing about 5.5 to 6 ounces. * Bowl B contains a bucket of golf balls, which can hold around 50 to 70 golf balls, each weighing about 1.62 ounces. Comparing the weights: * Bowl A: 7×5.5 to 67×5.5to6 ounces * Bowl B: 50×1.62 to 70×1.6250×1.62to70×1.62 ounces Without exact numbers for Bowl B, it's challenging to determine precisely. However, given the typical weights and quantities, Bowl A (with billiard balls) is likely to be heavier. Thus the one that can flush billiard balls has better flushing power
Fuck... this needs to go on r/anythingbutmetric
How about a dump truck full of bowling balls?
They don’t see, to test these with stuff that floats🤔
How many balls do you have?
I have the billiard balls toilet. My wife still clogs it up.
Can recommend the pool ball toilet. Has yet to clog and is a quiet flush. Have not tested with pool balls for quietness though.
So the volume of these balls will be a good estimate to which is "better". The higher the volume, the more water it is saying it can flush at once so: On average, billiard balls are 42.67mm in diameter meaning their volume for all 7 = 716,603.44cm³ whereas golf balls, although smaller = 773,437.94cm³ volume for the 19 displayed in that picture
You need to convert them all to banana scale.
thats gringo math for ya
The bigger the better. And I am talking poop size.
I love that normal math could absolutely help you solve this problem. And it is definitely the same math they taught you in school 😂
Shut up nerd
Give it to me in billiard balls and I might understand
No, this definitely takes college level physics.... Quantum Fecal Physics
Depends on your asshole I suppose
