Today, I learned that when the power goes out at my house, my family thinks you can no longer flush the toilet. FML

You can still flush it just that water won't go back in until the power comes on

Well, you can't if you want to give your poop a proper farewell as you send it away. Without lights, you can say goodbye to your feces, but it's not as sincere without face-to-turd contact.

I wonder how many people actually take a look at their turds before sending them down stream. Am I the only one who gets excited over a complete wrap around with no breakage? Be honest now!

Or you pour a bucket of water into your toilet. it forces it to flush automatically.

Like others have said, if you have well water, you can't flush and all your water won't work. I grew up with well water and when I moved to a city, I was actually surprised we had running water when the power went out.

Well, you can flush, but your toilet won't refill.

Your family has a point if they're using solar powered toilets that don't hold water. I heard that they just vacuum the shat down somehow. I recently removed my toilets, we just use litter boxes.

Or if op is a hot chick she can just have some old creepy guy suck out the turds for her.

This isn't a big deal if you have a well and not city water then your ELECTRIC water pump will not work and won't refill your toilet after a flush
