Why is your very old toilet flushing on its own?

In the back of the toilet where the drain pipe goes down there is what is called a trap. It is an "S" shape in the pipe that traps the water in the bowl. When there is enough water in the bowl to push out the water and air in the trap, it goes out taking the water in the bowl with it. If you mean the automatic flushers that you find in public restrooms, then they have an electronic eye that senses when there is someone there and when that person moves it flushes.

Are dolphins prey or predators?

Basically Dolphins are carnivores and therefore predators, but they may be killed and eaten by man (Japan) and some of the larger carnivorous whales.

To add to this answer, they mainly eat fish and squid which they locate with ultrasonic echolocation similar to bats. They are not only eaten in japan but also in Indonesia, the Koreas and various other Indo-pacific countries.
Large sharks and killer whales are the only natural predators of dolphins. Tiger sharks, bull sharks, and great white sharks are the main species that attack dolphins. Humans have also posed a major threat to dolphins in recent years
