Australian, just like their toilets spinning water the other way.

If I remember correctly Mythbusters disproved that. It depends entirely on the way you pull the plug.

Well, essentially, it's that the coriolis effect, while a real thing, is much weaker than most other factors in play. If everything else is neutralised or near to it, the coriolis would indeed be the remaining decider, but that's very unlikely in practice.

Otherwise people on the equator, their toilet water wouldn’t spin at all? It would just go straight down, no spin.

IDK which way threads go on your country, but in the US at least you turn counterclockwise to loosen something.

Looked over their entire catalogue and couldn't find it, probably isn't in production any longer. I'm almost certain though that the color is called "Vibrant brushed nickel" and that it's fucking expensive

I picked it from Google images, they go through product lines like Kleenex.
