Flushing toilets were first invented in the late 16th century. Sir John Harington, an English courtier, created a flushing toilet in 1596, which he called the "Ajax." However, it wasn't until the 19th century, with improvements in Plumbing and sanitation, that flushing toilets became more widely adopted and practical for general use. The modern flush toilet as we know it was popularized in the late 1800s.
Believe it or not, his name was Thomas Crapper. That's why some people call toilets "crappers"

The toilets may not be flushing well in the building due to clogs in the pipes, low water pressure, or a malfunctioning flushing mechanism. It is important to address these issues promptly to ensure proper functioning of the toilets.

The Minoans invented the first flushing toilets among many other things. Information about the first modern-day flushing toilets: The first patent for a flushing toilet was issued to Alexander Cummings in 1775, sixty years before Thomas Crapper was born. Crapper was awarded 9 patents during his lifetime, 3 of them for improvements to the flushing water closet, but the true inventor was Alexander Cummings. Also, Sir John Harrington had invented a water closet in 1596 with a proper flush, but no water trap.
In the 1800s, toilets were typically made of porcelain or metal and were often designed as chamber pots or outdoor privies. They did not have flushing mechanisms like modern toilets and were usually emptied manually. Some toilets in wealthier households had rudimentary flushing systems using water.
It's the water going through the pipes.
