The drain pipe has a blockage somewhere downstream from where the toilets are connected to the main sewer line from the house. All the drains in a house normally connect to one main line that either goes to the city sewer system or your septic tank. If you know where the sewer line exits the house, you could check there to see if the blockage is in the yard. Most sewer blockages are caused by tree roots, broken fittings, or crushed pipes. Good Luck

Why would 3 toilets on a septic system in a new home consistently block whenever solid waste is flushed?

it is more than likely that your absorption trences are not working so the effluent is not draining from the outlet of your septic tank some trenches only last 2 to 3 years if the soil is clay. or it may be the drain has been laid to flat from the toilets to the septic tank. flush the toilets and look down the inspection openings on the lid of the tank if it flows into the tank it is not your drain but the trenches on the outlet of the septic tankANS 2 - It's possible you have a blockage between house and first septic pit. Pull the cover and watch the inlet tube as someone flushes. If water doesn't gush right out, you definitely have a blockage between there and house. ( I'm assuming you take care of your septic system, and it it does not need to be pumped - or else a full tank will be the problem. )

What would happen if everyone on Earth flushed their toilets at the same time?

Probably nothing, besides a few thousand sewer busts, lots of stincky gloop of everything that, well you get the picture. Don't you? If not, sorry. I hope that this answers your question. If not, sorry. Do not try this unless you live on high ground. The people on the dark side would lose some sleep. The earth would suddenly be deafened by a great noise: half the population of the earth would yell at the other half "be sure to put the seat down!" I don't think anything would happen, except for the momentary drop in water pressure as the toilets refilled. BTW, not every culture uses toilets that flush.
