Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It's anecdotal because some rando on the internet is saying it. They didn't quote a plumber, they said some plumbers they talked to said a thing. That's worthless.
Kinda funny how you're only applying that logic to that one specific comment.
I may not have an academic paper available or spoke to lead expert Dr. Plumber McPlumbface to get a quote, but I do know that every time someone in my house flushed wet wipes over time, my pipes backed up not once, not twice, but three times. The plumber told us "These things keep us in business." When wet wipes were no longer flushed down the toilet, the pipes have not backed up since. I guess it is safe to assume 1. An expert, who fixes things that may make you question life in general, told me that wet wipes are the problem. 2. I stopped doing the thing the expert told me to do and the problem has stopped. 3. I am now corroborating with a random person on the internet in the hopes that common knowledge is formed or some asshole posts a scientific research article. Welcome to conversations of discovery! I don't even know why I posted here. It just stuck out.
