Once it gets soggy enough, it breaks up and passes through. But it slows down enough that your floaty gassy shits stay on top of the toilet bowl along with your splattery shart-ridden asswipes

Damn nigger, how much paper did you use?
I've always flushed toilet paper in thirdie countries where they tell you not to (sorry not sorry, I'm not going to throw my poo paper in the poo paper bin like a savage) and literally never had an issue

the average IST layover experience:
>plane arrives at some retarded hour in the middle of the night
>immediately get trampled by people rushing to make their connections
>skip the first two bathrooms you see because they're sausagefests of a dozen people waiting to use one of the three stalls to shit in
>walk across the entire airport to find a bathroom to piss in peace and have personal space
>almost get hit by golf cart on the way there
>right as you're about to relax in the stall, someone inevitably comes into the bathroom to make the most demonic fucking noises to spit out their phlegm in the sink
>leave to charge phone and people watch for a while
>almost get hit by golf cart
>accidentally make awkward eye contact with one of the countless security guards wandering around with MP5s
>get bored and go into the city
>have to take a bus because the train route is long and tedious with multiple transfers

Basically, no different from flying through any other megacity airport.

Next time I stop over in IST I'm gonna stay in Arnavutköy, an exurb at the far end of the airport metro line (going away from the city, not towards it). The budget hotels there have good reviews, much better than in Istanbul proper. Yeah it's modern and kinda soulless, but who cares. There's some little roads that go off into forested hills on the edge of town too (picrel). Would be cool to check out some Turkish nature.
