Perhaps it isn't obvious to you...
But I've had this discussion before, and did my research then. Why do you think that I'm so confident that if you look at multiple toilets you'll find ones that go opposite directions? Even a gravity toilet will have small imperfections that lead to the water flushing one way or another.
I've seen this for myself. I also suggested a more complex experiment for you to see it as well.
Why are you so supportive of the experimental method only when it is done by others?
Cheers,
Ben

You actually spent time researching this?
It's a TOILET!

It's not just a toilet, it's a belief system.
Ben delights in testing such things and destroying myths. :-)

Invalid
I just went and flushed mine, and a casual inspection of flow showed that all watter jetting down from the rim was aimed clockwise all the way around to insure there is a strong swirl. I would place bets that all American toilets are made just that way. It's possible some crank designer has done one with a counter-clockwise flow, but the Earth's spin has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Also invalid because ...
If the variations are between manufacturers, odds are all the ones in your building are the same anyway.

We have a counter-clockwise one here.
Haven't tried the others.

good enough I retract my statement about earth rotation
affecting toilet flow.
