What else can I help you with?
Why would a toilet that has been working properly just stop flushing even though the tank and the bowl both fill up?
there can be many reasons and I will say my thoughts on just a few. 1. your toilet trap of the bowl is clogged with debris (toys, balls, etc) to fix = snake out toilet bowl or if necessary pull toilet bowl and snake backwards threw trap. 2. your tank flush flapper is closing to soon or your tank water level is not at right height to fix = change flapper or adjust water level height 3. your toilet arm before the vent is plugged because of back grade or debris clinging to the side of the drain pipe to test = pull toilet and run toilet water supply full on down threw toilet flange and see if any back flow. 4. your toilet main line is clogged from backgrade,roots,damaged pipe,etc but will let other fixtures slowly drain to test = camera toilet line from toilet flange out to street or septic or if no camera available then fill tub full and lav full and drain both at the same time and look at your lowest fixture trap to see if any back flow exists or open clean outs and if possible to see water flow .
Could something you flushed down the toilet get caught in the toilet or pipes?
Everything is possible but most likely if it was flushed then it will not get caught in the pipes. ------------ Depending on what you are flushing, it can most certainly get caught in the pipes. Older plumbing cannot handle "modern" things people flush down the toilet, such as feminine hygiene products. These can get caught up in the plumbing, slowly building up and eventually blocking the pipe, creating an UGLY mess. If you take a look at most sit-down commodes you will notice that there are a couple of really sharp turns before the system even enters the floor. At these turns, certain hard things like glasses and cell phones can get caught in the toilet itself.
What causes a toilet to overflow when the washing machine water empties?
Sounds like the washing machine discharge is fitted to the main drain in the wrong place and it's discharge is filling your toilet. It's possible there may be something of a blockage just after the toilet, causing a backup. I would try to snake the the pipe from toilet out. You may even have to remove the toilet from the floor and do it there if there is no access underneath (like a basement or a crawlspace). I have snaked main drains from the toilets many times, and it's a pain having to re-re the toilet, but often it's the only way.

Why is Archie Bunker's toilet so loud?
To make people ask questions about it! Actually a toilet flushing on TV is called comic effect. We generally don't expect to hear a flushing toilet on TV, but then we never expected to hear 90% of the remarks that came out of Archie's mouth either! Some might even call it all "potty humor" so the flushing and the yapping were one and the same.
Why Would a low-water consumption toilet overflow instead of filling to the rim and then stopping- can it be intentionally clogged?
I would intentionally overflow a public toilet by taking the lid off the back, then taking out the thing that covers the hole in the bottom. Then clog the toilet and just wait. The toilet will just flush and flush and flush and flush until it overflows. And then it will keep flushing. You could flood the entire bathroom with no one even knowing!

How does toilet water taste without pee or poop in it?
Yes it is very tasty NO R U KIDDING ME WHO WOULD EVEN TRY TO TASTE IT???
What could be wrong with a basement toilet if you have to use a plunger every time you flush it even with clean water even after you ran a snake from the top and bottom after removing the toilet?
Either the toilet is plugged or the sewer line under the toilet is plugged. At this point I would suggest calling in an expert (plumber) to determine the problem. You have not given enough information to say. Sounds like you do not have enough water pressure coming in to wash the waste away. Check out the holes under the lip of the toilet seat to see if they are blocked, causing you to get an inefficient flush. Our new toilet is much better at flushing with lesser amounts of water.
