When someone on the top floor flushes, does their poop plummet hundreds of feet down a pipe? And how do they make sure that a blockage on a bottom floor doesn’t make the building flood with poop water?

ELI5 is not for information about a specific narrow issue (personal problems, private experiences, legal questions, medical inquiries, how-to, relationship advice, etc.)

ELI5 is not for information about current events

This depends on the building, the building codes, the jurisdiction, all sorts of location specific (even architect specific) information and is thus narrow.

You could try r/answers or r/nostupidquestions (which despite the name is an excellent sub)
