RE: [Esp./Eng.] El agua del inodoro. || Toilet water.

Counterclockwise. About 50 years ago, it was believed that if you were in the northern hemisphere, the toilet water would swirl clockwise (clockwise), and if you were in the southern hemisphere, the water (swirl) would swirl counter-clockwise (anti-clockwise). But this has been proven not to be the case.

LOL, interesting! But how does it matter which way the water swirls? 😅
In my place, 50 years back, we didn't had toilets where water could swirl in any direction (and trust me, I don't live on Equator). 😂

Well, nice to meet you... First, let's say you woke up in an unfamiliar place and wanted to know, say, what hemisphere you were in. Just by looking at the swirling water, I could infer that you were north or south of the equator. Not just in the toilets.

In the survival courses we did in the 1870s, we were also taught, for example, that the green moss that grows on tree stems is usually found on the north side of trees, which is the wettest and shadiest side.
